This is just a misrepresentation, he rarely claims to reach conclusions, he continuously asks " What if?" instead. How can he, then, draw far-reaching conclusions about the ultimate building blocks of reality, which are, he claims, ‘less than nothing’? He, like many scientists, dismiss this as pure speculation and although I can't recall where ( Less Than Nothing maybe?), he accords the "many worlds" interpretation as pure Real and yet another attempt to locate the thing-in-itself in some fantasmic vision of the universe rather than on the side of the subject. What about Everett’s many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics? Zizek's jokes are never meant to be "funny", they are meant to put you in the uncomfortable position of irony. As for "vulgar, sexist and completely unfunny jokes", seriously? Shut the fuck up you idiot. Personally, I think the creative imagination of his broad brushstrokes outweigh the lack of detailed rigour (in terms of precise citations), in that they break new ground and encourage highly original thinking. Unlike the review, I (and others) found the unorientables the most enjoyable part, and pushing analogous limits like this is Zizek's forte - meanwhile, the accompanying criticisms of lack of academic rigour are pretty much a cliché amongst academics who are intimidated by the man's sheer breath and gravitas. The book contains many far-fetched analogies, and like many of Žižek’s works often makes vulgar, sexist and completely unfunny jokes. Weiss shows how Artaud’s "body without organs" establishes the closure of the flesh after the death of God how Cage’s "imaginary landscapes" proffer the indissociability of techne and psyche how Novarina reinvents the body through the word in his "theater of the ears." Going beyond the art historical context of these experiments, Weiss describes how, with their emphasis on montage and networks of transmission, they marked out the coordinates of modernism and prefigured what we now recognize as the postmodern.Not bad, concise, but a pretty blunt review, like an angry butcher cutting up the meat after his wife has just left him. Phantasmic Radio presents a new perspective on the avant-garde radio experiments of Antonin Artaud and John Cage, and brings to light fascinating, lesser-known work by, among others, Valère Novarina, Gregory Whitehead, and Christof Migone.
Weaving together cultural and technological history, aesthetic analysis, and epistemological reflection, his investigation reveals how radiophony transforms expression and, in doing so, calls into question assumptions about language and being, body and voice. Weiss explores the meaning of radio to the modern imagination. In this original work of cultural criticism, Allen S. The alienation of the self, the annihilation of the body, the fracturing, dispersal, and reconstruction of the disembodied voice: the themes of modernism, even of modern consciousness, occur as a matter of course in the phantasmic realm of radio.
