About me: In Cyberspace all positive properties are externalized in the sense that everything you are in a positive sense, all your features can be manipulated. When one plays in virtual space I can for example be a homosexual man who pretends to be a heterosexual woman, or whatever: either I can build a new identity for myself or in a more paranoiac way, I am somehow already controlled, manipulated by the digital space.
Who I'd like to meet: We all share one collective mind.
i saw you present and talk at moma last year, quite good, my friend asked a good question i can't quite recall, but it wasn't the one about pornography! ha that was bad.
anyhow, we have a catalog/book being published and would absolutely love for you to write an intro, could be anonymous, but hey we need some help...i can email you about it, but there is not much time, it needn't be very long or formal either
it's about a loose ny art collective with a show in Berlin this summer, the book will deal with the past five years of their outsider art output, published in the form of a subversive family album, with graphic design from one of the most innovative in Berlin...let us know if you can help!
I loved your interview in Iceland! Amazing! I am sure you must be familiar with Adam Curtis's documentary The Power of Nightmares in which I think he describes exactly what you are talking about in regards as to how the Iraq war eventually resulted in the exact opposite of what the neo-cons intentions were. He also goes on to speak of how OBL and George W. need each other and I think I remember you making mention of that. Anyway, thank you for all of your work. Perverts Guide…brilliant!
Its so interesting to have run into you through myspace. I really agree with you that myspace is social inscription which generates hyperreality.
Listen, I really want to affirm that you are one of the most influential thinkers that has had the greatest impact on me, especially as a source of inspiration.
Moreover, I also agree with you about the post-marxist new left. Hmmm, they can go to masturbaton!! Lol!
Hello, I dont do this very often, [leave messages to higher intellectual beings on myspace], but, your video and new book 'Violence' are brilliant! So, thanks for struggling to continually think and write, we appreciate it.
American universities are like cocktail-vaccine pools. Here, no one reads the original copy of books, but the selected short readings(of course, selected by professors or school). The variety of "political spectrums" are in strictly vaccinized forms: Theories without any Impact. This danger of neutralizing is far more brutal and effectve(for the people in power) than violent regulations. (In South Korea, before late 80s, all the "communists books" are strictly regulated, but the college students from those periods, are the most serious readers of Marx.) I think that you are one of the last or very few, whom American academia are not able to vaccinizing. That's why your readings are desperately ignored by them, and described as irrational jokes. Thank you for constantly being mutated!
Thanks for adding me to your list of friends. I'm reading 'the Puppet and the Dwarf' right now! Very insightful writing! I love your rethinking of the fort-da game, A very Derridean deconstruction! I have been rereading the idea of the spiritualistic concentration of uncertainty into God as opposed to the 'even spread' of scientific doubt as the root of the religious sense of duty. If I write something based on this I will send you a copy. I have written a short story based on Lacan's Ideas about 'objet petit a'. It's called the Disappearance and it's on my blog. I also compose what must be described as postmodern - postminimalist music. I hope you enjoy it. It is an honor and a pleasure. Here's to our lasting eudemonia, Fergus
Slavoj I think I was in my past life I was somehow in East Europe. I love your histories, sounds and I hope all the sorrow will go soon away. Thanks for all. Peace Juliette
thanks for adding me. i like your books(i'm reading just now the one about Robespierre) and try everyday to sell them for many people (i'm a bookseller in Paris and my english is ugly, sorry) Verkho.
Caro Slavoj, Gratias vobis, grazie, merci, danke, spassiba, gracias, choukran, asante, どうもありがとう, tighmmi, xie xie, obrigado, dèkui, prasau, efkaristò, tak, takk, tack, multumesc, köszönöm for the add. Filippo and Jennifer from Esso Gallery in New York
Thanks for the add Slavoj. I love your technique of oscillating between high German Idealism and pop trash to produce the effect of genius and profundity in your quasi-political readings.
Thanks for answering the request. Now, there is just one question left which is utterly disturbing to us. Are you real? We would like to have more blogs from you in order to analyse them relative to the amount of authenticity they might or might not carry.
Zizek proffered the most trenchant critique of the Iraq War a full decade before it transpired....
“A shared lie is an incomparably more effective bond for a group than the truth. When, for example, the Leader is caught with his pants down, the solidarity of the group is strengthened by the subjects’ common disavowal of the misfortune that laid bare the Leader’s failure or impotence. Perhaps one should reread Hans Christian Andersen’s ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ along these lines: of course everybody knew that the emperor was naked, yet it was precisely the disavowal of this fact that held the subjects together – by stating this reality, the unfortunate child effectively dissolved the social link.”
– Slavoj Zizek, The Metastases of Enjoyment (1994), p. 58
Thanks for the add! I recently watched "The Pervert's Guide to the Cinema" and I enjoyed it immensely! "Welcome to the Desert of the Real" is one of my favourite reads!
Hvala za sprejem! Še vedno ne vem, ali je WC školjka ali samo dotična poza tista, ki iz glave na plano potegne gordijske misli, jih naseklja in rahlo začinjene servira v "bistvu", ki ga skrivajo platnice? LPm
jedna jedina prilika bila je da vas uhvatim (osim knjiga) kako pričate, a da to nije na engleskom, no to je bilo kod stankovića koji jadničak ne zna baš o čemu priča. pa me zanima - predajete li još u deželi?
