Looking Awry by Slavoj Žižek
An Introduction to Jacques Lacan through Popular Culture
A lively, provocative introduction to Lacanian psychoanalytic theory through readings of popular culture and film, arguing that everyday ideology is structured like a symptom: misrecognition, fantasy, and the split subject shape how we perceive reality. Using analyses of cinema, literature and political spectacle, it shows how desire, the unconscious and symbolic structures produce social meanings and sustain ideological fantasies, exposing how 'normal' cultural forms conceal underlying antagonisms and contradictions.
