Laibach and Enjoy: Slovenian Theory and Practice

Abstract

The writings of Slavoj Žižek have a disorienting effect on readers, and attempts to understand and utilize his ideas in cultural theory have often come to grief. One way into an interpretation of what Žižek is up to is to trace the cultural–political interventions of some fellow travellers still active in the production and disturbance of our ideological enjoyment. This commentary follows some of the contours of the landscape of Slovenian theory.
