Reading group on Žižek’s Lacrimae Rerum

Slavoj Žižek’s essays on Kieślowski, Hitchcock, Tarkovsky, and Lynch, among other filmmakers, are the perfect way to begin with Žižek’s approach to psychoanalysis, ideology, and cinema. This reading roundtable invites all researchers, professors, students, artists, and psychoanalysts interested in the ‘littoral’ space between psychoanalysis and cinema.


The fifth and final session will be on the fourth chapter (on David Lynch) and will take place exclusively online on October 12 (5–6 PM WEST). To join the session on Zoom, use this link (password: 923160).
