Oct 21, 2024
Slavoj Žižek, a renowned Slovenian philosopher and cultural critic, dives deep into pressing social divisions in this thought-provoking discussion. He argues that we're facing critical points in the global liberal democratic system as new forms of apartheid arise. The conversation reflects on the staggering inequalities revealed through innovative perspectives, like drone photography. Žižek also critiques how visual representation can distort societal issues and debates the relevance of communism through the lens of the global commons in today's political landscape.
