Studioso di marxismo, idealismo tedesco e psicanalisi lacaniana, è divenuto celebre per la sua capacità di affrontare questioni di stringente attualità, unendo tradizione filosofica e cultura popolare. A partire dal 1989, anno di pubblicazione del suo primo libro in inglese, ha raggiunto, con il suo stile provocatorio e irrispettoso delle posture accademiche, una popolarità internazionale.

Nella sua prolifica produzione ha spaziato attraverso un grande numero di tematiche, come l'ideologia, il fondamentalismo, il populismo, la globalizzazione, la religione, l'ecologia, i diritti umani , la tolleranza, il multiculturalismo, la teologia, il cinema, l'opera, le scienze cognitive. Nei suoi scritti si è confrontato in modo critico con numerosi pensatori moderni e contemporanei, come Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Schelling, Marx, Lenin, Mao Zedong, Heidegger, Deleuze, Guattari, Derrida, Agamben, Negri, Hardt, Butler, Rancière, Balibar, Laclau, Jameson, Nietzsche, Sorel e Fanon.

Personalità di spicco dell'opposizione del regime esistente prima del '89 in Slovenia negli anni ottanta , nel 1990 è stato il candidato della Democrazia Liberale Slovena alle prime elezioni presidenziali libere del Paese.

Attualmente, Žižek è uno strenuo ed appassionato critico del modello economico e sociale neoliberista, proponendo altresì un ritorno allo spirito originario del comunismo - a quella che Alain Badiou definisce "ipotesi comunista" - in polemica contrapposizione con i teorici di sinistra della cosiddetta Terza via. Žižek è stato o è un collaboratore regolare di numerosi giornali e riviste, fra cui New Left Review, London Review of Books, Critical Inquiry, The Guardian e In These Times.

È protagonista di due pellicole cinematografiche di Sophie Fiennes, The Pervert's Guide to Cinema e The Pervert's Guide to Ideology , in cui illustra i legami tra cinema, psicanalisi e ideologia. Gli sono stati dedicati due documentari, Liebe Dein Symptom wie Dich selbst! e Žižek! . È comparso anche in Examined Life , firmato da Astra Taylor, e in Marx Reloaded di Jason Barker. Per lo studio della sua opera è stato fondato nel 2007 l'International Journal of Žižek Studies. Nel 2012 Foreign Policy lo ha incluso nella sua lista dei cento migliori "Global Thinkers". Nel 2013 la Royal Opera House ha commissionato quattro opere ispirate al suo lavoro. Wikipedia

Slavoj Žižek: Frasi in inglese

“We feel free because we lack the very language to articulate our unfreedom.”

"Introduction: The Missing Ink", in Welcome to the Desert of the Real!: Five Essays on September 11 and Related Dates (2002), p. 2

“Insofar as the gap between essence and appearance is inherent to appearance, in other words, infsofar as essence is nothing but appearance reflected into itself, appearance is appearance against the background of nothing - everything appears ultimately out of nothing.”

Origine: Less Than Nothing (2012), Chapter One (The Drink Before), Vacillating The Semblances
Contesto: The implicit lesson of Plato is not that everything is appearance, that it is not possible to draw a clear line of separation between appearance and reality (that would have meant the victory of Sophism), but that essence is "appearance as appearance,"that essence appears in contrast to appearance within appearance; that the distinction between appearance and essence has to be inscribed into appearance itself. Insofar as the gap between essence and appearance is inherent to appearance, in other words, infsofar as essence is nothing but appearance reflected into itself, appearance is appearance against the background of nothing - everything appears ultimately out of nothing.

“Darcy wants to present himself to Elizabeth as a proud gentleman, and he gets from her the message 'your pride is nothing but contemptible arrogance.' After the break in their relationship each discovers, through a series of accidents, the true nature of the other - she the sensitive and tender nature of Darcy, he her real dignity and wit - and the novel ends as it should, with their marriage. The theoretical interest of this story lies in the fact that the failure of their first encounter, the double misrecognition concerning the real nature of the other, functions as a positive condition of the final outcome: we cannot say 'if, from the very beginning, she had recognized his real nature and he hers, their story could have ended at once with their marriage.' Let us take a comical hypothesis that the first encounter of the future lovers was a success - that Elizabeth had accepted Darcy's first proposal. What would happen? Instead of being bound together in true love they would become a vulgar everyday couple, a liaison of an arrogant, rich man and a pretentious, every-minded young girl… If we want to spare ourselves the painful roundabout route through the misrecognition, we miss the truth itself: only the working-through of the misrecognition allows us to accede to the true nature of the other and at the same time to overcome our own deficiency - for Darcy, to free himself of his false pride; for Elizabeth, to get rid of her prejudices.”

Slavoj Žižek libro The Sublime Object of Ideology

67
The Sublime Object of Ideology (1989)

“The famous MacGuffin, the Hitchockian object, the pure pretext whose sole role is to set the story in motion but which is in itself nothing at all - the only significance of the MacGuffin lies in the fact that it has some significance for the characters - that it must seem to be of vital importance to them…”

Slavoj Žižek libro The Sublime Object of Ideology

that's a MacGuffin, a pure nothing which is non the less efficient... what Lacan calls object petit a: a pure void which functions as the object cause of desire.
183
The Sublime Object of Ideology (1989)

“Prohibition of desire leads to desire for prohibition.”

“What cannot be described should be inscribed into the artistic form as its uncanny distortion.”

Origine: Less Than Nothing (2012), Chapter One (The Drink Before), Vacillating The Semblances
Contesto: The horror of the Holocaust cannot be represented; but this excess of represented content over its aesthetic representation has to infect the aesthetic form itself. What cannot be described should be inscribed into the artistic form as its uncanny distortion.

“I found there, on the central square (Václavské náměstí), a café that miraculously worked through this emergency. I remember they had wonderful strawberry cakes, and I was sitting there eating strawberry cakes and watching Russian tanks against demonstrators. It was perfect.”
