Enjoy Your Symptom!: Jacques Lacan in Hollywood and Out
Jacques Lacan in Hollywood and Out
Slavoj Zizek
In Enjoy Your Symptom! Slavoj Zizek argues for the accessibility and ultimate simplicity of Lacanian theory by linking it with popular Hollywood film. Enjoy Your Symptom! is divided into five chapters, each elucidating some fundamental Lacanian notion or theoretical complex - letter, fantasy, woman, repetition, phallus, father - through a reference to Hollywood and the popular culture which forms the background of our common experience. Each chapter is then divided into two parts. In the first part, Lacan is in Hollywood, ie the notion or complex in question is explained by way of examples from Hollywood or popular culture in general. In the second division, we are out of Hollywood, ie the same notion is elaborated as it is in its inherent context.
