Chapter 1Introduction: Performing Žižek: Hegel, Lacan, Marx, and the Parallax View

Mangold, Alex

Pages: 1 –12

[Slavoj Žižek is a cultural phenomenon. Throughout the last three decades, the Slovenian philosopher has become one of the most influential thinkers of our time. He has been described as ‘the most despicable philosopher in the west’ (Kirsch),1 the ‘Elvis of cultural theory’ (Taylor)2 and a ‘cross...

Chapter 2The Lacanian Performative: Austin after Žižek

Boucher, Geoff

Pages: 13 –32

[In this chapter, I am going to interpret the early work of Slavoj Žižek (between 1989 and 1994) as proposing what is in effect a theory of language as theatrical. That would be a theory of speech in which speaking was not only action, but also act, that is, an attempt to affect auditors by...

Chapter 3Kantor’s Symptom or Grotowski’s Fantasy? Towards a Theatre of the Political

Lease, Bryce

Pages: 33 –47

[It is a common misperception of psychoanalysis these days to expect a theorist to unearth the personal idiosyncrasies of an artist in order to reveal the ‘truth’ behind a particular work of art. The basic Žižekian intervention proposes the opposite task. In Lacan’s conception of the Symbolic...

Chapter 4Who’s Watching? Me!: Theatrality, Spectatorship, and the Žižekian Subject

Boenisch, Peter M.

Pages: 48 –60

[In the opening sentence of a 2012 essay for the British political and cultural magazine New Statesman, where he commented on the Occupy movement through the lens of the then latest output of the Batman movie trilogy, Slavoj Žižek expressly states his basic principle for analysing popular...

Chapter 5Žižek’s Death Drive, the Intervention of Grace, and the Wagnerian Performative: Conceptualising the Director’s Subjectivity

Katsouraki, Eve

Pages: 61 –77

[To talk about Wagner is to immediately invite controversy. Since Nietzsche, the case of Wagner has signified nothing less than a constant and highly spirited provocation. Pronounced as the triumph of appearance over essence, Nietzsche’s criticism is relentless.1 This later takes a more...

Chapter 6‘Even if we do not take things seriously … we are still doing them’: Disidentification, Ideology, and Queer Performance

Greer, Stephen

Pages: 78 –93

[The queer potential for drag is its willingness to take fantasy seriously: to stage fictions of gender, sexuality and the body to which we remain firmly attached, despite seemingly determined disavowal. Yet, as Slavoj Žižek argues, the nature of ideological interpellation is such that we persist...

Chapter 7The Performative Constitution of Liberal Totalitarianism on Facebook

Lushetich, Natasha

Pages: 94 –109

[The twenty-first century is often perceived as the century of personal freedom. Unlike the economic freedom of the nineteenth century and the political freedom of the twentieth century, this particular brand of freedom is seen as no longer confined to civic realms, political or bureaucratic...

Chapter 8Enjoyment as a Theatrical Object: The Actor as Neighbour

Wolfe, Graham

Pages: 110 –125

[When Peter Shaffer’s Equus was revived at London’s Gielgud Theatre in February 2007, The Daily Mail gave the following account of Daniel Radcliffe’s nude scene in Act Two: They [Radcliffe and his female co-star] kiss, cuddle, and pretend to have sex in the pretend hay, watched by pretend horses....

Chapter 9‘There are more of you than there are of us’: Forced Entertainment and the Critique of the Neoliberal Subject

Taylor, Linda

Pages: 126 –141

[There are striking similarities between some of the work produced by Sheffield based performance ensemble Forced Entertainment and the revolutionary theories of Slavoj Žižek. On the surface this comparison may seem unlikely and unsupported by the two jokes below, which appear, at first glance,...

Chapter 10Ideology and the True/False Performance of Heritage

Johnson, Paul

Pages: 142 –153

[Performance in a museum or heritage site1 operates within a complex set of interacting and sometimes conflicting jurisdictions: education and entertainment; objects and experiences; space and place; theatre and museum; visitor and audience; presentation and participation. It almost invariably...
