His work traverses the fields of philosophy, psychoanalysis, theology, history and political theory, taking in film, popular culture, literature and jokes--all to provide acute analyses of the complexities of contemporary ideology as well as a serious and sophisticated philosophy. His recent films \u003ci\u003eThe Pervert's Guide to the Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eŽižek \u003c\/i\u003e reveal a theorist at the peak of his powers and a skilled communicator. Now Verso is making his classic titles, each of which stand as a core of his ever-expanding life's work, available as new editions. Each is beautifully re-packaged, including new introductions from Žižek himself. Simply put, they are the essential texts for understanding Žižek's thought and thus cornerstones of contemporary philosophy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Sublime Object of Ideology\u003c\/i\u003e Slavoj Žižek's first book is a provocative and original work looking at the question of human agency in a postmodern world.
