Where do we stand today and what needs to be done? This is the question Slavoj Zizek addresses in "Demanding the Impossible." In an interview conducted by Young-june Park, he discusses the Arab Spring, the global financial crisis, populism in South America, the rise of China, and the enigma of North Korea. Zizek connects his political and social analyses with those of Hollywood films, Venezuelan police reports, and Swedish crime literature. This original conversation serves as an accessible introduction to the world of one of the most important thinkers of our time. "Zizek is the greatest brilliant exponent of psychoanalysis, of cultural analysis in general, that Europe has produced in several decades." - Terry Eagleton. "Zizek is to today what Derrida was to the eighties: the thinker of choice for Europe's young intellectuals.".
