The concept offers a glimpse into the murky landscape of half-lies and double-truths that Zizek enters in this latest collection of urgent essays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e From the economy and politics to ideology, these short texts work through the different faces of liberal fascisms, structured around a trio of the universal, the particular, and the singular: our global predicament; Europe and the Middle East; Trump's America. Peeling back the inadequate labels we hasten to pin on the phenomena that terrify us - like 'post-truth'- to peer at the seeping wounds beneath them, these writings reveal the uneasy mixture of hypocrisy, self-deception and what is real that have always been stacked, matryoshka like, inside of one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e With no cure in hand, but a refusal to dispense with thought that is muddled and murky, these interventions are both timely and resolute. From the so-called \"death of truth\" opens up the possibility for a new authentic truth... or for an even bigger lie. And ultimately we must ask - what forms of justice are made possible by this disorder?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Liberal Fascisms is also available in audiobook format from audiobook retailers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Slavoj Zizek (Birkbeck Institute for Humanities, University of London, UK)","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":49290017603827,"sku":"9781350573161","price":19.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9781350573161.jpg?v=1782244819","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/liberal-fascisms-slavoj-zizek-birkbeck-institute-for-humanities-university-of-london-uk-9781350573161","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
