Slavoj Zizek, a leading intellectual in the new social movements that are sweeping Eastern Europe, provides a virtuoso reading of Jacques Lacan. Zizek inverts current pedagogical strategies to explain the difficult philosophical underpinnings of the French theoretician and practician who revolutionized our view of psychoanalysis. He approaches Lacan through the motifs and works of contemporary popular culture, from Hitchcock's ''Vertigo'' to Stephen King's ''Pet Cemetary'', from McCullough's ''An Indecent Obsession'' to Romero's ''Return of the Living Dead'' - a strategy of "looking awry" that recalls the exhilarating and vital experience of Lacan. | Slavoj Zizek, a leading intellectual in the new social movements that are sweeping Eastern Europe, provides a virtuoso reading of Jacques Lacan.
