He is a senior researcher at the Institute for Sociology and Philosophy at the University of Ljubljana, Global Distinguished Professor of German at New York University, and international director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities. His work draws on an eclectic range of disciplines, including political theory, ontology, cultural studies, psychoanalysis, film criticism, and theology.Žižek first achieved international recognition as a theorist after the 1989 publication of his first book in English, The Sublime Object of Ideology, which drew largely on the work of G.W.F. Hegel and Lacanian psychoanalysis to develop a materialist conception of ideology as inescapable unconscious fantasy that structures social reality, departing from traditionalist Marxist interpretations of the term. His work became increasingly political in the 1990s, aligning him somewhat with contemporary Marxist thinkers such as Frederic Jameson and Alain Badiou, and presaged his increased public presence during the 2000s. A leftist critic of capitalism and neoliberalism, Žižek identifies as a political radical, while his work has also been characterized as challenging orthodoxies of the left-liberal academy. His prodigious body of work spans dense theoretical tomes, accessible shorter books, and documentary films; among his best known works are Welcome to the Desert of the Real (2002), The Parallax View (2006), and Living in the End Times (2010), and two film collaborations with director Sophie Fiennes, The Pervert's Guide to Cinema (2006) and The Pervert's Guide to Ideology (2012).Žižek's irreverent style, popular academic works, frequent magazine op-eds, and critical assimilation of high and low forms of culture have gained him international influence and a substantial audience outside of academia in addition to controversy and criticism. In 2012, Foreign Policy listed Žižek on its list of Top 100 Global Thinkers, calling him "a celebrity philosopher," while elsewhere he has been dubbed the "Elvis of cultural theory" and "the most dangerous philosopher in the West." Žižek's work was chronicled in a 2005 documentary film entitled Zizek! A scholarly journal, the International Journal of Žižek Studies, was also founded to engage his work."@en }
