Zizek and Media Studies: A Reader - Hardcover

by M. Flisfeder (Editor), L. Willis (Editor)

Film, media, and cultural theorists have long appealed to Lacanian theory in order to discern processes of subjectivization, representation, and ideological interpellation. Here, the contributors take up a Zizekian approach to studies of cinema and media, raising questions about power, ideology, sexual difference, and enjoyment.
