{"product_id":"9781350573161","title":"Liberal Fascisms","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eWith an apparently contradictory and characteristically makeshift term, 'Liberal Fascisms', Slavoj\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZizek captures the paradoxical nature of political populism.\u003c\/strong\u003eTo see this phenomenon as purely liberal\u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003edictatorially fascistic is to expose liberalism and fascism as two sides of the same coin. 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. 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\u003ci\u003ealways\u003c\/i\u003ebeen stacked, matryoshka like, inside of one another. 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?\u003ci\u003eLiberal Fascisms\u003c\/i\u003eis also available in audiobook format from audiobook retailers.","brand":"Slavoj Zizek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":48178141593822,"sku":"9781350573161","price":18.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0425\/4567\/6440\/files\/BNCImageAPI_9a96eb7f-eea5-43f4-80f0-540301525499.jpg?v=1777441529","url":"https:\/\/paragraphbooks.com\/products\/9781350573161","provider":"Librairie Paragraphe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
