Did Somebody Say Totalitarianism? Four Interventions in the (Mis)Use of a Notion
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: W W Norton & Co Inc
- Publish date: 11/01/2002
Description:
Totalitarianism, as an ideological notion, has always had a precise strategic function: to guarantee the liberal-democratic hegemony by dismissing the Leftist critique of liberal democracy as the obverse, the twin, of the Rightist Fascist dictatorships.
Expand description
Instead of providing yet another exposition of the history of this notion, Zizek's book addresses totalitarianism in a Wittgensteinian way, as a cobweb of family resemblances. He concludes that the devil lies not so much in the detail of what constitutes totalitarianism but in what enables the very designation totalitarian: the liberal-democratic consensus itself.
