Jesus... he's just reading here, he doesn't even try to say it as if were being said for the first time... he is rushing.

[constablecomfortable]

Yeah, he delivered it a little dead pan. In the Q&A's at the end, he is back to more his usual scatter-gun approach.

i notice slavoj doesn't bother to credit deleuze for the 'wrong answers wrong questions' bit any more. he steals so unabashedly :D a true communist.

Watch all the 10 parts. This one if just the known introduction.

Let's help this world to die.

...uh you know that is why he is doing this?! it is capitalism after all got sell those books

if you want him to talk about things not in his books you probably have to meet him personally ,so good luck with that.

Well, the thing with Zizek is that he pretty much repeats all the points in his talks in his written work. 'In Defense of Lost Causes' and 'Violence' are his most recent works of political theory, etc, but I'm sure he will publish something that will elaborate these points.

dear naomi already did deliver her views on china in an intruiging piece of journalism in the first half of 2008, for Rolling Stone magazine, entitled, "China's All-Seeing Eye". It's googable :)
