Críticas
"The ferociously productive Slovenian philosopher now takes up one of those heavy, predictable, unpromising topics--totalitarianism--and manages to produce a whirling carnival of political critique, cultural interpretations, and ornery bombast."--"New Political Science""As an alternative to the current post-modernist cult of cynicism and retreat into islands of privacy and nihilism ... the five essays making up "Did Somebody Say Totalitarianism?" insist on the social link and offer the visionary strength for resistance against all forms of totalized explanations."--"World Literature Today""This attempt to rethink the conditions of radical political action is one of a number of signs that, after the doldrums of the 1980s and 1990s, left-wing thought is beginning to revive. It will be fascinating to follow where the flood of eloquence and imagination next sweeps Slavoj i ek."--"Times Literary Supplement"" i ek is an entertaining writer who would command attention if he were just describing how to mix cement. He wastes no time in tilting at the taken-for-granted ... i ek wants to find the cracks in the notion of totalitarianism and fill them with dynamite."--"Times Higher Education Supplement"
Reseña del editor
Totalitarianism, as an ideological notion, has always had a precise strategic function: to guarantee the liberal-democratic hegemony by dismissing the leftist critique of liberal democracy as the obverse, the twin, of the rightist Fascist dictatorship. Slavoj Zizek, addresses the prevalence of the consensus-view of totalitariansim, which invariably focuses on one of four things: the Holocaust as the ultimate, diabolical evil; the Stalinist gulag and the alleged truth of the Socialist revolutionary project; the recent waves of ethnic and fundamentalism to be fought through multiculturalist tolerance; or the deconstruction idea that the ultimate root of the totalitarianism is the ontological closure of thought. In exploring this cobweb of family resemblances, Zizek concludes that the Devil lies not so much in the detail of what constitutes totalitarianism but in what enables the very designation.
