En Acontecimiento, Žižek toma un concepto que damos por sentado, el diario acontecer de millones de sucesos, situaciones, pensamientos, emociones, etc., y nos muestra que el hecho de que algo acontezca, por ejemplo el mundo, no es tan trivial ni evidente como quizá nos parezca. If--accidentially--an event takes place, it creates the preceding chain which makes it appear inevitable. After being left dazed and winded by Carlo Ginzburg's gumshoe pilgrimage, I needed a return to simply thinking. Žižek provided that sufficiently. He divines the philosophical substrata for the evolutionary entity of the Eventin a host of different realizations. All of his favorite influences are visited: Lacan, Hegel, Descartes and Marx. The text felt simply invigorating, as thinking was brought to the fore, apparently it exhales as well, brisk in the frozen air. We discussed Von Trier's Melancholia, Zero Dark-Thirty, Tree of Life and a great deal of Agatha Christie and G.K Chesterton. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Probably the most famous living philosopher, Slavoj iek explores the meaning of events in this short and digestible book An event can be an occurrence that shatters ordinary life, a radical political rupture, a transformation of reality, a religious belief, the rise of a new art form, or an intense experience such as falling in love. Taking us on a trip that stops at different definitions of event, iek addresses fundamental questions such as: are all things connected? How much are we agents of our own fates? Which conditions must be met for us to perceive something as really existing? In a world that's constantly changing, is anything new really happening? Drawing on references from Plato to arthouse cinema, the Big Bang to Buddhism, "Event" is a journey into philosophy at its most exciting and elementary. "From the Trade Paperback edition."
