I cannot thank you enough for providing these videos - they have proved invaluable in clarifying some of the subject matter in the Violence book.

overall, though, i would say a good quote to take away from this lecture from zizek is, "contrary to what people think, the message from pyschoanalysis is precisely: "no, enjoyment is NOT the fundamental category of your existence."" zizek says so much of society is focused on enjoying ourselves. what is freedom in america? freedom to enjoy and consume? there is an ethical element here related to what i wrote (and zizek talked about) previously vis a vis levinas that is worth listening to again.

subtitles please!!!!!!!

No, because some things are not capable of being translated into simple terms in this world, and Zizek is not a fast food thinker.
