Abstract

Slavoj Žižek is a Post-Marxist sociologist, philosopher, and cultural critic. Žižek holds that Lacan’s ideas of the Real about antagonism overturn in 1980s the theory of classic Marxism, on which he argues and forms the theories of psychoanalytic ideology. In late 1990s, he departed from Post-Marxism, arguing for the concrete universality of politics and the act of philosophy, and criticized the ‘subject’ of philosophy with his theory. From 2000, Žižek began to interpret Leninism with Lacan’s theory, and gradually returned to classic Marxism in the aspects of class struggle and criticism of capitalism. In summary, Žižek’s theory is the psychoanalysis of Post-Marxism after Post-Structuralism, discussing the burning question of how to reformulate a leftist project in an era of global capitalism
