Chip away at that relativism! I wish more people had the initiative to examine themselves and their assumptions, and to sit through these talks, but that's the essential problem with postmodern apathy. Zizek is more connected with culture than those who preach "celebrating diversity."
discipline..evidently also means 'learning'.. the idea of control is perhaps a spurious progressive illusion..just as it is an illusion for the right..
why not think along agamben's uncovering of the larval man..
whose reason for war is simply fear of death..
to which the fear of loss is closely connected and for which modernity is prophylactic
On discipline, zizek does mean to contrast at least two ways discipline can be caught up in ideological production: one progressive (those who have nothing have only their bodies to empower themselves) the other reactionary, based on spontaneity, 'personal' training as a means of self-expression. Neither invoke control as an explanatory tool.
Zizek uses this to argue that discipline is not proto-fascist and the claim that it is, is what interests
oh, this is new? thanks for the upload egsvideo, whoever you are. I WANT to study at Egs someday, someday, someday. Let me work on combining Heidegger/Critchley/Nietzsche/Solomon into a congealed philosophy and then EGS can help me destroy it, yay!
Overall, very nice Hegelian analysis of the 'postmodern' contingency-essentialism irony. the last line of this segment regarding the fate of post-911 American democracy is extremely haunting.
did you check the upload date? its just a day old and it takes a while for youtube to pick it up and list it. so go ahead, watch it, rate it, recommend it etc ...
It sounds like he doesn't give any support for a lot of his assertions.

The contemporary authorative narrative. Forcing dichotomious thinking is all too prevasive today.

I've listened all day and night of his lectures and speeches, exciting and inspiring. We need ideal in such a historical era of human being.

I'm unclear on your point viz. the lecture
