Slavoj Zizek – Masterclass – day 1 – Notes Towards a Definition of Communist Culture: Utopias
The Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities
Event Date: Monday 15 June 2009
The master class analyses phenomena of modern thought and culture with the intention to discern elements of possible Communist culture. It moves at two levels: first, it interprets some cultural phenomena (from today’s architecture to classic literary works like Rousseau’s La Nouvelle Heloise) as failures to imagine or enact a Communist culture; second, it explores attempts at imagining how a Communist culture could look, from Wagner’s Ring to Kafka’s and Beckett’s short stories and contemporary science fiction novels.
