Slavoj Zizek. About European Graduate School. 2006 2/2

[beyondthesystem]

How much does it cost to go there?

[sidewalkingkristofer]

Anyone else find it hilarious, the bumbling kid trying to get a word in edgewise with Zizek? I dont think its possible, and besides, why would you want to say anything about yourself with an opportunity to talk about something worth while?

[Hoobtastic]

Zizek rules!

[suburbandrone]

really, someone please explain why almost all zizek videos on youtube has multiple posts claiming he's a cokehead. I really don't get it... who cares? funny how people have to comment on personal attributes or whatnot, but can't focus on what he is actually saying. sad, really....

[chamallowbleu]

someone trying to start a rumour, it's not true - the more you you listen the more he makes sense

[luddone]

Because he's super hyper and wiping his nose constantly. He's not high, just a little out there. Anyone this bright usually is.

[tilhon]

hahaha, he's great. That last "fuck you!" was just too funny

[benliao]

EGS - is it possible to make available the whole interview?

[WeWillWinAnarchy]

I find the theory interesting, but I don't see how this can help us bring down capitalism, the state, etc. Where is the practical element?

[snapcase55]

If bringing down capitalism was easy or practical, wouldn't it already have happened by now?

[asf04]

besides, wewillwinanarchy you didn't get the point from the interview, did you? this was the very basic thing he said: decentralize the practical element!!!

[theliquorwasclean]

Ugh... this is ridiculous. Lots of these things you are complaining about weren't even brought up....

[0neironaut]

ah id love to go to this school, but i lack the brilliance! what a world! glub glub glub!

[sunmanho]

am I the only one who is unimpressed? I see no substance in Zizek at all, only rhetorics and obscurantism parading as depth and insight

[richidpraah]

he's perhaps just not the most gifted speaker, but that isn't to say he doesn't have great ideas.. i used to fucking loathe the guy, but actually these egs lectures have made me brush off his texts and helped me to see him in a new space. i still think he's ignorant on a lot of issues, meaning i still disagree with a lot, but now i'm nearer a 'rational' understanding of him. blablahahaha

[fluorogoat]

I think its more likely that you lack the background knowledge to understand him. His style is somewhat rhetorical, but he isn't pointlessly obscure.

[lovethelogos]

He is too obese to do coke, ok, so stfu.

[Conde1800]

All of your comments are shit ... listen what he sais not if he is on coke or not...you just don't understand his work..."Read then open your mouth"...critize the work...

[LichtungNym]

Eh, Agamben is sloppy.

[Daskaiser]

What is the academic circle to you; a celebrity circle?

If your to superficial to critically gaze a philosopher without having to 'group them' into 'pop-star diva' categories, you would best spend your time reading the Hollywood tabloids. You are such a toy.

[Stirner123]

Define the term "wannabe radical." Sounds to me like you're speaking out of ideological narcissism rather than critical reflection.

[TheHerm18]

i hate to say this, but is Zizek whacked out on coke?

[probeprobe2]

As i wrote before I am also flabbergasted by his presentation, but there is no doubt - his outbursts are even faster. I can't imagine how fast he must think ...

[Camponesadastrevas]

I wondered just the same when I started watching the vid. But I guess he´s just with a flu or something. Usually ppl. who think a lot, who are more "mental" than "body" are more sensitive when it comes to the nose, throat and ears.

[martygrosse]

I believe so, he appears to be in every vid I have seen of him.

[oxanairda]

He is not on coke, he is just giving sense to his Tourrette syndrome.

[keryx23]

"postmodern brainwashing party school" -- LOL, classic....

[egsvideo]

Thank you for the comment. Yes, classic, but don't tell that to Wikipedia.

[byroncollis]

coke?

[lisalov4]

i would like to know about the personal life of this man.

i mean women ,children etc

[bevcb]

he has few children. He is married to an argentinian model and a daughter of a famous physcoanalyst... He has been married for 3 times... and so on...

[dadalus]

omg.. his body language made me dizzy:)

[NihilAdmirari]

We want the rest of this... :(
