=Review by [http://www.lacan.com/zizekchro2.htm Tony Myers]=
 
Presented as a sequel to The Sublime Object of Ideology, this book
 
examines the historical change emblematized by the shift in the telling
 
of the Rabinovitch joke from that first book. In particular, it analyses
 
the re-emergence of militant nationalism and racism in the wake of
 
the break-up of the socialist countries of Eastern Europe. Žižek iden-
 
tifies the cause of this re-emergence in an eruption of enjoyment. This
 
book also contains an extended discussion of the concept of the
 
vanishing mediator.
