I think this statement is suspect. Zizek is a Slovene academic who writes for a largely English-speaking audience, who is a specialist on Lacan (who is a figure mainly read by Americans nowadays, I think), writes on themes of interest to Americans, and has an interest in Hitchcock. He's not a standard Slovene academic. Not that I know any. ;)
