Slavoj Žižek: What Happens When the Rules Break Down? 

Žižek & So On Podcast
LISTEN: www.tinyurl.co...
A podcast for people who are interested in the philosophy of Slavoj Zizek, and are looking for an entry point into his work. The hosts discuss his interventions in philosophy, culture, politics, and art-with special attention paid to his most recent books, and the evolution of his thinking.
This video is PART ONE of a series of interviews with Slavoj Žižek from 2003 wherein he discusses Hardt and Negri, Mikhail Bakhtin's carnival, strip poker, the rejection of any spontaneous trust that moments of carnival suggest as a priori redemptive or emancipatory events, and the stalinist purges.
Why is carnival deeply ambiguous? Why more often than not as a rule is it the ultimate strategy of ruling ideology,? Žižek goes on to discuss James Bond and the disappearance at the level of philosophy maintaining the marxist tradition of the site of labour as the collective intensive process as a potential site of liberation, emancipation and solidarity.
