Pirms vieslekcijas lasu Žižeka 'Violence'. Tas ir labi, jo izbrīvēt laiku līdz šim nebiju atradis.
Lai nu kā ar maniem iemesliem, bet ar Slavoju garlaicīgi, laikam, nemēdz būt.
Starp slavinošo atsauksmju citātiem grāmatas pirmajā lapaspusē ir šāds no Jewish Chronicle:
"Žižek's thoughtfully provocative book examines violence, treating the reader to an enjoyable and dazzling display of intellectual pyrotechnics."
Salīdzinājums ar intelektuālo pirotehniku - salūtu iegūst savu nozīmi, ja iedomājamies par to, kas pēc tā paliek pāri. Tas noteikti nav brīnums - Žižeks raksta:
"One is tempted to speak here of a symptomal knot: is it not that, in the Israeli - Palestinian conflict, the standart roles are somehow inverted, twisted around as in a knot? Israel - officially representing Western liberal modernity in the area - legitimises itself in terms of its ethnic-religious identity, while Palestinians - decried as premodern 'fundamentalists' - legitimise their demands in terms of secular citizenship."
