PANDEMIC! 2 - SLAVOJ ZIZEK KARTONIERT (TB)

What do sex doll sales  locust swarms and a wired-brain pig have to do with the coronavirus
pandemic? Everything--according to that Giant of Lubliana  the inimitable Slovenian philosopher
Slavoj ?i?ek. In this exhilarating sequel to his acclaimed Pandemic!: COVID-19 Shakes the World
?i?ek delves into some of the more surprising dimensions of lockdowns  quarantines  and social
distancing--and the increasingly unruly opposition to them by response fatigued publics around
the world. ?i?ek examines the ripple effects on the food supply of harvest failures caused by
labor shortages and the hyper-exploitation of the global class of care workers  without whose
labor daily life would be impossible. Through such examples he pinpoints the inability of
contemporary capitalism to safeguard effectively the public in times of crisis. Writing with
characteristic daring and zeal  ?i?ek ranges across critical theory  pop-culture  and
psychoanalysis to reveal the troubling dynamics of knowledge and power emerging in these viral
times.
