žižek's Jokes by Slavoj Žižek
Did you hear the one about Hegel and negation?
A compact collection of political, ethnic, and bawdy jokes is curated and annotated to reveal the hidden mechanics of ideology and desire; each gag is unpacked through psychoanalytic and dialectical lenses to show how humor exposes uncomfortable truths about power, belief, sexuality, and everyday life, with special attention to the post-socialist Balkans. Part joke book and part philosophical primer, it argues that laughter offers a privileged route to truth and a subversive critique of common sense.
