First as Tragedy, then as Farce
£7.99 Add to basket
In this take-no-prisoners analysis, Slavoj Žižek frames the moral failures of the modern world in terms of the epoch-making events of the first decade of this century.
Slavoj Žižek provides a provocative and accessible analysis of the current global crisis from the tragedy of 9/11 to the farce of the financial meltdown. Marx argued that history repeats itself – first as tragedy, then as farce – and Žižek notes that the repetition as farce can be even more terrifying than the original tragedy.
