Slavoj Žižek - The Reality of the Virtual

Slavoj Žižek is one of the most distinguished and politically engaged thinkers of our time. In this tour de force filmed lecture, he lucidly and compellingly reflects on belief - which takes him from Father Christmas to democracy - and on the various forms that belief takes, drawing on Lacanian categories of thought. In a radical dismissal of today's so called post-political era, he mobilizes the paradox of universal truth urging us to dare to enact the impossible. It is a characteristic virtuoso performance, moving promiscuously from subject to subject but keeping the larger argument in view.
Original Title: Slavoj Zizek: The Reality of the Virtual also known as (new title): Manufacturing Reality: Slavoj Žižek and the Reality of the Virtual
