Abstract

‘There is no Other of the Other’ Symptoms of a Decline in Symbolic ˇ ˇ Faith, or, Zizek’s Anti-capitalism The premiss of the series is that the explosive combination of Lacanian psychoanalysis and Marxist tradition detonates a dynamic freedom that enables us to question the very presuppositions of the circuit of Capital.1 ˇ z So ends the 1994 policy statement of Slavoj Ziˇ ek’s Wo Es War series with Verso. For all his forays into German idealism and cultural ˇ z studies, this clarion call makes explicit Ziˇ ek’s central preoccupation with Lacanian psychoanalysis and Marxism, stretching back to at least the very beginning of his prodigious scholarly output in the English language. It may strike us as a bit curious, then, that those scholars ˇ z for whom Ziˇ ek serves as inspiration for social and political analysis have chosen to focus on his Lacanian interventions in multicultural, social movement, and sex debates, silently relegating his Marxism to a secondary and incoherent remnant of an outdated leftist project.
