Slavoj Zizek: Radiohead - Paranoid Android

[DRSproductions100]

ENGLISH VERSION PLEASE! this looks fascinating.

[jenlight]

Youtube is really where you find the greatest intellectual minds.

Like people who get angry because not every single thing is in English. Those people have clearly utilized reason and logic in their day to day lives.

[otherside65]

@jenlight hahahah, youre right. but hes talking about an english band so im sure lots of english speakers would like to understand

[jenlight]

Where does the original come from?

[disposablereligion]

let's thumbs up all the english translations so they're up there

[econogate]

Why does you tube not just have a universal subtitle system? to hear two languages babbling makes it almost impossible to understand anything.

[Beauchard]

Hard to hear the English at certain points, a English subtitle would be appreciated.

[dougguns]

Traduzam para português PELO AMOR DE DEUS !

[thecloudswillattack]

whats this german bullshit! he's speaking english why would you change it to german?

[revistalugones]

OK. I just asked you the same than they in other video. First I was sorry I do not talk German. Now I am angry... Don't they know about subtitles? Are they so lazy that they don't want to read?

[christophercoltrane]

@revistalugones Germans always dub. I have no idea why

[nemba14]

Hey man !! I'm from Colombia. Could you please post this again only with Zizek's voice so that I could translate it into Spanish and share it with lots of people who really need to know new points of view about everything. Zizek has really hit it off among many people here, and what I could understand "behind" German dubbing is simply great !! It's a real shame my German isn't that good. Thanks for sharing anyway !!

[docuville]

@nemba14 read the comments,please!

Rough (!) translation 3/3:

When someone says "immortal" one always thinks of

christian blessings (etc.) of immortality...but no, immortality is something horrible...it is something that occurs

in Stephen King novels...

What I want to emphasise here is how narrow the line is between nightmare and comedy. Doesn't the same happen in

Tom & Jerry? You know, when the cat is....sliced, overrun by a bulldozer... and in the next installment the game

starts again. "

[mikerino]

Rough (!) translation 2:

into real life. The nightmare occours I think when a

living being, which is dead symbolically, doesn't fit in our reality. There is a precise english term for being

neiter dead or alive - the nightmare is the domain of the "living dead". The ultimate paradox.

The true lesson of nightmares is therefore that we are not scared mainly of death like some philosophers will let

you believe, but it is this "radical obscene immortality".

[mikerino]

Rough (!) translation 1:

"In horror movies, one of the standard procedures for effective nightmare scenarios is one where the alien is

inside oneself. This idea that inside your body there is a wormlike or other formless creature which dominates you and later the horrible, nightmarish moment when this thing is forced to come out.

The video clip "Paranoid Android" is crucial for me because of its cartoon form. The horror lies in the idea that this "undead universe" of cartoons is transposed

[egekeskin]

english subtitles please!!!!!!!!!!

[Qtown20]

I NEEDS IT IN ENGLISH!!! ZIZEK, I CAN'T HEAR UR SHINY INCANDESCENT INSPIRATION OVER THIS GERMAN JIBBER JABBER ! RADIOHEAD IS ENGLISH, WHY IS THIS IN GERMAN, WHYYYYYYYY!!

[Johnny75416]

Althusser, Adorno - there is nothing more pathetic than Marxist analysis being applied the popular music! Is this the great white dope - the bourgeois hero of Marxist academia? Proof surely, if it were needed, that the dream is over.

[rioko666]

Please, sub in english! 

[tarmriu]

Yeah, fuckin dubbing...

[OscarBaldwin]

thats annoying, i want it in english

[Supercraptastic]

it says mermaids are good and look out for helpful angels in choppers

[NestleWaters88]

danke für den post. wann wird man in deutschland aufhören zu synchornisieren und untertitel einblenden, es nervt!

[docuville]

@NestleWaters88 gern geschehen,danke fürs interesse. kann dir bezüglich deines kommentars über die nervige allgemeine tendenz inBRD alles zu synchronisieren nur zustimmen.

[hyperseauton]

@NestleWaters88

Na hör mal, der typische Bild-Leser kann nicht so gut Englisch (der Vize-Kanzler übrigens auch nicht). Um da die Quoten zu halten werden selbst die besten Sitcoms synchronisert und deren Witz meist zerstört.

Geht noch mindestens 20 Jahre bis wir von der Schule an genug Englisch können um das skandinavische Modell übernehmen zu können.

[amoxila]

can somebody translate this, please?

[HappyHitokiri]

@amoxila It would be cool if someone do that, and what about spanish? :p

[zerokomma]

Absolutely great....wirklich ausgezeichnet kumpel.....das sind kleine Zizek diamanten. Danke fuers aufladen

[FleshMob]

This is awesome. I watched all Zizek's videos on net, and this is the first time I see tthis. Do you know where I can find original documentary, without German overdub?

Pure gold, listening to Zizek commenting on Radiohead.

[docuville]

@FleshMob this german dubbed docu is the original one.it was produced for and aired on german tv (zdf). as far as i know there's no other version.

[Johnny75416]

@FleshMob Popular music is pap, put out by the man to distract us from class struggle. Ask Althusser. This, along with other commenteries, is this mans attempt to appeal to youth - to engauge them in an outmoded 19th century psuedo philosophy. Zizek would do hip-hop videos if he thought he'd gain attention.

[FleshMob]

@Johnny75416 Well, I partially agree! But on the other hand, it is us who decide whether we will watch TV, listen to crap music, or do something else. Just because something is popular, doesn't mean it's always wrong.

[Johnny75416]

@FleshMob Oh, no my friend I don't mean that, and good and bad are subjective and arbitrary terms applied to culture. The trouble with Marxist critique is it's narrow field of view, concentrating as it does on evidence of class struggle filtered through the arbitrary lens of the material dialectic. Marxists are the biggest snobs on the planet and while the say they are the true voice of the prolitariat they despise us - believing us brainwashed idiots fed on 'pap' culture.
