Part 1 of “I’m watching you” at International Author’s Stage The Slovenian star philosopher Slavoj Žižek in the first of two conversations on surveillance with  interviewer Paul Holdengräber, director of Public Programs at the New York Public Library. Copenhagen, Admiral Hotel

“In 2011, we were witnessing (and participating) in a series of shattering events, from the Arab Spring to the Occupy Wall Street movements, from the UK suburban protests to Breivik’s ideological madness. 2011 was thus the year of dreaming dangerously, in both directions: there were emancipatory dreams mobilizing protesters in New York, on Tahir Square, in London and Athens–and there were the obscure destructive dreams propelling Breivik and other racist populists all around Europe. What is the meaning of these explosions? Do they have a common root?” –Slavoj Žižek, Spring 2012 New York Public Library

Slavoj Zizek argues that the neoliberalism died twice: first as a political doctrine in the tragedy of the attacks of 9/11; then its farcical collapse as an economic theory when the meltdown at the end of 2008 brought an end to the utopia of global market capitalism. Has this crisis now offered a vital opening for the left to seize the reins of politics and the state? LSE, the London School of Economics and Political Science
