"""Di Leo and Zalloua have put together an indispensable guide for understanding the centrality of modernity and modernism in Zizek's influential interventions in philosophy, politics, film studies, sexuality, psychoanalysis, music, and posthuman studies. This thought-provoking collection not only maps current conversations and debates in these terrains, but also explains the reasons leftists must still take Zizek's engagement with modernism seriously. In addition, this stimulating volume generously offers a glossary of major concepts that will appeal to both the knowbies and newbies in Zizekian studies"" --Jamil Khader, Professor and Dean of Research, Bethlehem University, Palestine ""From some of his earliest works, Slavoj Zizek has always been the champion of the theses that are still - perhaps more than ever - contemporaries of modern philosophy. This collection of wonderful essays, written by some of the leading Zizekian scholars in the world, explores practically every facet of Zizek's profound engagement with modernity as the name of an impasse that still haunts us."" --Gabriel Tupinambá, Postdoctoral Fellow, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and author of The Desire of Psychoanalysis: Exercises in Lacanian Thinking (2021) ""Undertanding Zizek, Underszandinng Modernism is an absolutely outstanding collection of essays on Zizek; wide in range, sharp in focus and remarkably vibrant in thought."" --Alenka Zupancic, Professor of Philosophy and Psychoanalysis, The European Graduate School, Switzerland"
