Slavoj Zizek

Philip Dodd is in conversation with Slovenian philosopher, cultural critic and Marxist scholar Slavoj Zizek.

The philosopher Slavoj Zizek is in extended conversation with Philip Dodd, discussing his new book Against the Double Blackmail: Refugees, Terror and Other Troubles with the Neighbours, in which he argues that Europeans are caught between (on the one hand) guilt at the suffering of migrants or (on the other) a determination to defend their way of life against a perceived threat. He suggests that alternatives are available - but that they require Europeans to make fundamental changes to their world view.
