SZ on "Seattle"

[Doug Henwood]

I'm just now transcribing my interview with Slavoj Zizek, which will 
appear soon in Punk Planet. A lot of it is about the movement often 
identified in the U.S. with the word "Seattle," and a lot of what he 
had to say sounded a bit antique after September 11. I asked him to 
comment on that, and here's his answer:


>I think it is PRECISELY NOW - after the WTC collapse - that the 
>"Seattle" task will regain its full urgency! After a period of 
>retaliation-enthuisiasm, there will be a new (ideological) 
>depression, and THAT point will be our chance!!!

Desperately seeking optimism,

Doug
