Year of Dreaming Dangerously
«Such passion, in a man whose work forms a bridge between the minutiae of popular culture and the big abstract problems of existence, is invigorating, entertaining and expanding inquiring minds around the world.»
Daily Telegraph
Call it the year of dreaming dangerously: in 2011 we all witnessed (and participated in) a series of shattering events. Emancipatory dreams mobilized protesters in New York, Tahrir Square, London and Athens - and there were the obscure destructive dreams propelling the mass murderer Breivik and racist populists all around the world, from the Netherlands and Hungary to Arizona.

Call it the year of dreaming dangerously: in 2011 we all witnessed (and participated in) a series of shattering events. Emancipatory dreams mobilized protesters in New York, Tahrir Square, London and Athens - and there were the obscure destructive dreams propelling the mass murderer Breivik and racist populists all around the world, from the Netherlands and Hungary to Arizona. The subterranean work of dissatisfaction is continuing: rage is accumulating and a new wave of revolts will follow. Why? Because the events of 2011 were signs from the future: we should analyze them as limited, distorted (sometimes even perverted) fragments of a utopian future which lies dormant in the present as its hidden potential.

Anmeldelser
«Such passion, in a man whose work forms a bridge between the minutiae of popular culture and the big abstract problems of existence, is invigorating, entertaining and expanding inquiring minds around the world.»
Daily Telegraph
«A great provocateur and an immensely suggestive and even dashing writer ... Zizek writes with passion and an aphoristic energy that is spellbinding.»
Los Angeles Times
«The thinker of choice for Europe's young intellectual vanguard.»
Sean O’Hagan, Observer
«Zizek's ingenious handling of culture, films, philosophy, intellectual history, personal stories, daily politics, combined with a politically incorrect wit (especially in his lectures) is truly enjoyable. This at times overwhelming combination of ideas remains unmatched in the contemporary intellectual scene.»
Christian Lotz, Marx and Philosophy Review of Books
«[Zizek highlights] exciting trends in class-organization, political consciousness, cooperation, and struggle ... [and] frames various victories as 'signs from the future' so the necessity of inner subjective engagement with social struggle becomes clear.»
Book News
«His ability to fuse together Martin Heidegger's 'fundamental ontology,' Francis Fukuyama's 'end of history' and Naomi Klein's 'shock doctrine' in order to undermine our liberal and tolerant democratic structures is a practice few intellectuals are capable of.»
