The Village Voice has called him “a one-person culture mulcher.” Slavoj Zizek is a Slovenian philosopher whose thinking is informed by politics, literature and culture. His latest book, “Violence” argues that western, peace-loving societies feed off of hidden forms of systemic violence. Zizek is senior researcher at the Institute of Sociology at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, and has been a visiting professor at Columbia University, Princeton and The New School.
