Our fourth session will take place on Thursday 25th March in room GSB2, 2 Gower Street, between 1 and 3pm. We will be looking at an extract from Slavoj Žižek's First As Tragedy, Then As Farce (London: Verso, 2009).
Discussion points will be as follows:
- Is it ideology, stupid?
- Within global capitalism, is choice ever choice at all?
- 'The best indicator of the Left's lack of trust in itself is its fear of crisis.' Do you agree?
- How can critical theory and/or literature respond to crisis?
