Product Description Zizek's communism: revolutionary terror or Utopian jouissance? Good theory; bad politics: this is how Zizek's works have been described. Now Chris McMillan argues that Zizek's reading of global capitalism could reinvent political subversion. He highlights the political consequences of Zizek's fundamental concepts, such as the Lacanian Real, universality and the communist hypothesis. He argues that Zizek's turn to Communism represents the ultimate significance of Zizek's work for the 21st century and a marked new direction for Zizekian theory. From the Back Cover AUTHOR APPROVED iek's communism: revolutionary terror or Utopian jouissance? Communist, conservative, antisemantic: Slavoj iek's work attracts a lot of labels, most of them pejorative. Countering this, Chris McMillan identifies iek's unique and productive contribution to social and political theory, constructing his work as a response to the deadlock imposed by global capitalism. He takes issue with the critical positioning of iek's output as 'good theory, bad politics' and argues instead that iek's politics provide a reading of global capitalism that reinvents political subversion. Highlighting the political consequences of iek's fundamental concepts (the Lacanian Real, universality, and the communist hypothesis), McMillan suggests that iek's turn to Communism represents the ultimate significance of his work for the 21st century. Key Features: *summarises key applications of psychoanalytic theory to politics and shared social life *produces a sustained reading of iek's understanding of the economy and capitalism *considers the specific value of iek's work as a form of political action *responds to iek's recent reference to the communist hypothesis and 'egalitarian justice' Chris McMillan currently works at Brunel University. He has been a guest editor for the /International Journal of iek Studies/. About the Author Chris McMillan currently works at Brunel University in London, having been formerly based at Massey University in New Zealand.
