Five Essays Four Interventions in the(Mis)Use of a Notion, London and New York: Verso. =Review by [http://www.lacan.com/zizekchro2.htm Tony Myers]=This timely and combative book argues that totalitarianism is anideological notion which has been used by the liberal democraticconsensus to impugn the political left's critique of that consensus withthe atrocities of the political right, thereby disabling effective politicalthought. Žižek examines five aspects of totalitarianism here andconcludes that the problem with the notion is the very thing that makessuch a designation possible in the first place - the liberal democraticconsensus (among whose members he includes just about everybody,damning them as a bunch of 'conformist scoundrels'). Like many ofhis recent books, this monograph is more explicitly political in itscontent, ending as it does with the refrain for increased socializationin some form or another'. {{Footer Books Slavoj Žižek}}[[Category:Slavoj Žižek]][[Category:Works by Slavoj Žižek]][[Category:Works]][[Category:Books]][[Category:Psychoanalysis]]
