Slavoj Žižek (1949–)

Filósofo, psicanalista e crítico cultural esloveno, pesquisador sênior no Instituto de Sociologia e Filosofia da Universidade de Liubliana e professor visitante internacional. Principal expoente da Escola de Psicanálise Teórica de Liubliana, Žižek articula a dialética hegeliana, a teoria psicanalítica de Jacques Lacan e a crítica da economia política de Karl Marx para analisar a ideologia, a cultura de massa e as crises do capitalismo contemporâneo.

Núcleo Teórico em 4 Pontos

1. Ideologia e Fantasia: A ideologia opera na prática inconsciente, e não na ignorância. O sujeito cínico sabe o que faz, mas continua fazendo porque a fantasia sustenta a realidade social perante o Real lacaniano. 2. Hegel via Lacan: O Sujeito hegeliano não é uma totalidade absoluta, mas a fratura ontológica da própria substância; o “Saber Absoluto” é o reconhecimento da incompletude e da negatividade intrínseca do Ser. 3. Ontologia da Paralaxe: A realidade não constitui um todo harmonioso; ela é cindida por um antagonismo estrutural irredutível que inviabiliza fechamentos metafísicos ou sínteses finais. 4. Universalismo Universal contra o Capitalismo: Recusa dos paliativos neoliberais e da fragmentação identitária em favor da reconstituição de uma práxis política emancipatória universal.
