ZIZEK'S JOKES

The good news is that this book offers an entertaining but enlightening compilation of ¿i¿ekisms. Unlike any other book by Slavoj ¿i¿ek, this compact arrangement of jokes culled from his writings provides an index to certain philosophical, political, and sexual themes that preoccupy him. ¿i¿ek's Jokes contains the set-ups and punch lines--as well as the offenses and insults--that ¿i¿ek is famous for, all in less than 200 pages. So what's the bad news? There is no bad news. There's just the inimitable Slavoj ¿i¿ek, disguised as an impossibly erudite, politically incorrect uncle, beginning a sentence, "There is an old Jewish joke, loved by Derrida . . ." For ¿i¿ek, jokes are amusing stories that offer a shortcut to philosophical insight. He illustrates the logic of the Hegelian triad, for example, with three variations of the "Not tonight, dear, I have a headache" classic: first the wife claims a migraine; then the husband does; then the wife exclaims, "Darling, I have a terrible migraine, so let's have some sex to refresh me!" A punch line about a beer bottle provides a Lacanian lesson about one signifier. And a "truly obscene" version of the famous "aristocrats" joke has the family offering a short course in Hegelian thought rather than a display of unspeakables.
