So uhhh... *sniffs* where do I begin with Zizek

Unironically, what I'd recommend would be:
>a smaller work or two - Welcome to the Desert of the Real, First as Tragedy then as Farce
>a bigger but nontechnical work - Living in the End Times may be good, Parallax View,
From here you will know if you give a shit. If you do, you'll want to read:
>the Sublime Object of Ideology (even if you don't understand all of it)
>something Christian, maybe Fragile Absolute or Puppet and the Dwarf
>Absolute Recoil
And eventually you will want to tackle Less Than Nothing

Less Than Nothing is his magnum opus but hope you've read Hegel. Parallax View is another excellent one.

The Essential Zizek series (first four) are a pretty good intro:

If you like Jung, I encourage you to read Freud and Lacan. Zizek has a decent intro as well as does Fink.

Lacan is mayhaps a bit charlatanish but a genius regardless. Badiou is a Mao cultist but still worth reading too. Badiou's lectures on Lacan are pretty fascinating in fact.

PS: Am I the only one who would love to see Zizek take LSD?

>>	Anonymous Mon Nov 18 04:54:02 2019 No.14189834 >>14189361 Don't bother, just read Zizek's shorter works first - they're his most accessible. After you have the foundational concepts you can move onto his other works deciding on a case by case basis whether you need Hegel and Lacan to advance.
