The 2019 Holberg Debate: "Why I am still a communist" with Slavoj Žižek and Tyler Cowen

Slavoj Žižek has been called the «the most dangerous philosopher in the West» and a cultural theorist superstar, as he mixes Marxism with pop culture and psychoanalysis. In an age where the principles of the free marked have become the driving force of both the economy, public services, foreign policy, and education, “communism” remains a dirty word among the political establishment. Three decades after the fall of «Communism» in Eastern Europe, so why does Žižek still call himself a communist? Programme: - Introduction by Ellen Mortensen, Academic Director of the Holberg Prize - Keynote adress by Professor Slavoj Žižek, Senior Researcher in Philosophy at the University of Ljubljana - Slavoj Žižek is interviewed by Professor Tyler Cowen, Holberg L. Harris Professor of Economics at George Mason University Q&A with video link participants and the live audience - End of event Time: 7 December, 2019 Venue: The University Aula in Bergen, Norway
