Five Interventions In The (Mis) Use Of A Notion - Paperback","description":"Binding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nDescription: In some circles a nod towards totalitarianism is enough to dismiss any critique of the status quo. Such is the insidiousness of the neo - liberal ideology argues Slavoj i ek. Did Somebody Say Totalitarianism? turns a specious rhetorical strategy on its head to identify a network of family resemblances between totalitarianism and modern liberal democracy. i ek argues that totalitarianism is invariably defined in terms of four things: the Holocaust as the ultimate diabolical evil; the Stalinist gulag as the alleged truth of the socialist revolutionary project; ethnic and religious fundamentalisms which are to be fought through multiculturalist tolerance; and the deconstructionist idea that the ultimate root of totalitarianism is the ontological closure of thought. i ek concludes that the devil lies not so much in the detail but in what enables the very designation totalitarian: the liberal - democratic consensus itself.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Did Somebody Say Totalitarianism?
