This podcast, titled "Žižek And So On," is dedicated to exploring the work of Slavoj Žižek and the Ljubljana School of Psychoanalysis. Episodes often revolve around concepts from psychoanalysis, philosophy, and cultural theory, as reflected in the frequent discussion of figures like Jacques Lacan and Hegel. A recurrent theme is the intersection of ideology, politics, and psychoanalysis, where concepts such as freedom, disavowal, alienation, and drive are explored in depth.
The episodes feature discussions and interviews with various philosophers and psychoanalysts, often focusing on upcoming books or recent publications. Guests such as Alenka Zupančič, Mladen Dolar, and Todd McGowan offer insights into psychoanalytic and philosophical topics, which are sometimes related to current socio-political issues like capitalism, conspiracy theories, and global crises.
Patreon-supported content often provides previews of episodes discussing Žižek’s latest ideas, as well as more exclusive in-depth sessions. This podcast entertains the serious themes with a sense of humor, often illustrated by references to cinema or pop culture, as seen in their discussions about films, jokes, and even topics like football through a psychoanalytic lens.
Listeners can expect an academic yet accessible approach to dense theoretical concepts, which are consistently linked to contemporary cultural phenomena and global issues. The podcast assumes a certain familiarity with Žižek’s work and the broader sphere of psychoanalytic and philosophical discourse, yet it is also designed to engage listeners who are keen to explore these complex themes. It combines theoretical rigor with cultural critique, aiming to uncover the underlying structures of ideology and human behavior.
