[lbo-talk] Zizek, "Against the Populist Temptation"

[Carrol Cox]

There is an important article by Zizek in the issue of Critical Inquiry_
that just arrived (Spring 2006).  Its take-off point is the rejection by
France & the Netherlands of the new constitution, but it covers much
more -- it even has a quite interesting political analysis of the Fourth
Movement of Beethoven's Ninth. You can see the unedited rough copy of it
at the following URL:

The issue as a whole is quite rich. Perhaps most interesting is Lydia H.
Liu, "iSpace: Printed English after Joyce, Shannon, and Derrida."
