The Plague of Fantasies (The Essential Zizek)

The Plague of Fantasies (The Essential Zizek)

Modern audiovisual media have spawned a â€˜plague of fantasiesâ€™, electronically inspired phantasms that cloud the ability to reason and prevent a true understanding of a world increasingly dominated by abstractionsâ€”whether those of digital technology or the speculative market.

Into this arena, enters ÂŽiÂžek: equipped with an agile wit and the skills of a prodigious scholar, he confidently ranges among a dazzling array of cultural referencesâ€”explicating Robert Schumann as deftly as he does John Carpenterâ€”to demonstrate how the modern condition blinds us to the ideological basis of our lives.
