Žižek! Pt. 7
"Slavoj Zizek is a Slovenian-born political philosopher and cultural critic. He was described by Terry Eagleton as the "most formidably brilliant" recent theorist to have emerged from Continental Europe. Zizek's work is infamously idiosyncratic. It features striking dialectical reversals of received common sense; a ubiquitous sense of humour; a patented disrespect towards the modern distinction between high and low culture; and the examination of examples taken from the most diverse cultural and political fields. Yet Zizek's work, as he warns us, has a very serious philosophical content and intention. Zizek challenges many of the founding assumptions of today's left-liberal academy, including the elevation of difference or otherness to ends in themselves, the reading of the Western Enlightenment as implicitly totalitarian, and the pervasive skepticism towards any context-transcendent notions of truth or the good. One feature of Zizek's work is its singular philosophical and political reconsideration of German idealist philosophy (Kant, Schelling and Hegel). Zizek has also reinvigorated Jacques Lacan's challenging psychoanalytic theory, controversially reading him as a thinker who carries forward founding modernist commitments to the Cartesian subject and the liberating potential of self-reflective agency, if not self-transparency. Zizek's works since 1997 have become more and more explicitly political, contesting the widespread consensus that we live in a post-ideological or post-political world, and defending the possibility of lasting changes to the new world order of globalization, the end of history, or the war on terror."

VEJA-SE COMO AQUI ZIZEK FALA NA SUA PRÓPRIA TERRA (Ljubljana) EM INGLÊS. SE FALASSE EM ESLOVENO, LÍNGUA DE CULTURA, TODAVIA NÃO O ENTENDÍAMOS DE TODO ! Pena é que a gravação nem sempre seja completamente compreensível e que os conhecidos tiques de Slavoj por vezes retirem impacte ao que diz, que nada tem de superficial - só quem não leu os seus livros o pode ridicularizar facilmente.
É um dos mais profundos conhecedores de Kant, Marx, Lacan, e sobretudo Hegel, do mundo contemporâneo.

Jean-Luc Nancy Deconstruction Christianity Ascension 2000 1
"http://www.egs.edu/ Philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, talking about deconstruction, christianity, ascension, religion, literature, metaphysics, theology, catholicism, philosophy, technology, representation, finite and infinite, trinity, polytheism, globalization, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, Immanuel Kant, Martin Heidegger. Public open lecture for the students of the European Graduate School EGS, Media and Communication Studies department program, Saas-Fee, Switzerland, Europe, 2000. Jean Luc Nancy.
Jean-Luc Nancy, born 26 July 1940, is a French philosopher. His first introduction to philosophy was in his youth in the Catholic environment of Bergerac.
Jean-Luc Nancy graduated in philosophy in 1962 in Paris. He taught for a short while in Colmar, and then in 1968 he took on a position as an assistant at the Institut de Philosophie in Strasbourg. In 1973 he received his doctorate with a dissertation on Kant under the supervision of Paul Ricœur. He was then promoted to maître de conférences at the Université des Sciences Humaines de Strasbourg. In the 1970s and 1980s he was guest professor at universities all over the world, from the University of California to the Freie Universität in Berlin. His international reputation has grown, and he has been invited as a cultural delegate of the French ministry of external affairs to speak in Eastern Europe, Britain and the United States. In 1987 Nancy received his docteur d'état from the Université de Toulouse-Le-Mirail, under the supervision of Gérard Granel and with a jury including Jean-François Lyotard and Jacques Derrida. It was published as L'expérience de la liberté (1988).
In the last part of the 1980s and early 1990s Nancy had to take a break from his active career because of illness. He underwent a heart transplant, and his recovery was made more difficult by a long-term fight with cancer. He stopped teaching and quit participation in almost all of the committees with which he was engaged; however he never stopped writing. Many of his best known texts were published during this time. A moving account of his experience entitled L'intrus (The Intruder) was published in 2000. Today he remains an active philosopher, speaking around the world at many philosophical congresses and writing ceaselessly. He is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Strasbourg . Filmmaker Claire Denis has made at least two movies inspired by Jean-Luc Nancy and his works. Many other artists have worked with Nancy as well, for example the artist Soun-gui Kim. Nancy has written about the filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami and also appeared prominently in the film The Ister.
He is the author of Le Discours de la Syncope (1976) and L'Impératif Catégorique (1983) on Kant, La remarque spéculative (translated as The Speculative Remark, 2001) on Hegel, Ego sum (1979) on Descartes and Le Partage des Voix (1982) on Heidegger. Other major influences include Derrida, Bataille, Blanchot and Nietzsche. His first book, published in 1973, was titled Le Titre de la Lettre (The Title of the Letter), and was written in collaboration with Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe. In this critical study of the work of Jacques Lacan, Nancy's main critique of psychoanalysis is that Lacan puts the metaphysical subject to task but does so in a manner couched in metaphysics. Nancy has continued to critique psychoanalytic concepts since this book, believing ideas like the Law, Father, Other and Subject to be worth studying but warning against the theological remnants embedded in psychoanalytical language."

There is a long initial intervention before the author speaks. Be patient.
