Required Reading
The Sublime Object of Ideology by Slavoj Zizek.
Fittingly the final book on my theory comps list. Definitely my favorite of the bunch.
It has totally changed two papers I've been keeping on the backburner for the last couple of months (though I need to put them on the front burner soon as I'm giving one of them this month). I guess I just never got Lacan before (though I lived with Cal, who's got a PhD in Lacan from Buffalo, for two years in Athens).
For some utter enjoyment - check out the clip from "perverts' guide to cinema" on youtube. Zizek sits on a couch in Dorothy Valens apartment as Frank attacks her, analyzing what goes down.
Can't wait to see the rest of this movie as it naturally turns out that he talks about all my favorite movies - The Birds, Vertigo, The Conversation, Blue Velvet, Psycho etc.
I should figure out how to post youtube things on the blog.
