The Famous/Infamous Slovenian Philosopher/Psychoanalyst Slavoj Zizek takes on Hollywood in this lecture/performance at the New York Public Library.
The tickets were sold out, but Big Ideas has managed to reserve some seats.
Watch a clip from a new film about Zizek in which he comments on The Matrix and Solaris:
Here's another clip - this one funnier and less art directed - that should help to introduce Zizek's style of provocation and Hegelian/Marxist/Lacanian theory. He takes on the question of what exactly happened in Casablanca and what that tells us about the way Hollywood films work.
Time: Wednesday, March 12th 7:00pm
Place: New York Public Library
Celeste Bartos Forum
Humanities and Social Sciences Library
5th Avenue and 42nd Street
RSVP with me at Eric.Ozawa at NYU.
