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 fourth session will be on the third chapter (on Tarkovsky) and will take place exclusively online on September 7 (5–6 PM WEST). To join the session on Zoom, use this link (password: 923160).
