Philosopher, cultural critic, and agent provocateur Slavoj Zizek constructs a fascinating new framework to look at the forces of violence in our world.
Using history, philosophy, books, movies, Lacanian psychiatry, and jokes, Slavoj Zizek examines the ways we perceive and misperceive violence. Drawing from his unique cultural vision, Zizek brings new light to the Paris riots of 2005; he questions the permissiveness of violence in philanthropy; in daring terms, he reflects on the powerful image and determination of contemporary terrorists. Violence, Zizek states, takes three forms--subjective (crime, terror), objective (racism, hate-speech, discrimination), and systemic (the catastrophic effects of economic and political systems)--and often one form of violence blunts our ability to see the others, raising complicated questions. Does the advent of capitalism and, indeed, civilization cause more violence than it prevents? Is there violence in the simple idea of the neighbour? And could the appropriate form of action against violence today simply be to contemplate, to think? Beginning with these and other equally contemplative questions, Zizek discusses the inherent violence of globalization, capitalism, fundamentalism, and language, in a work that will confirm his standing as one of our most erudite and incendiary modern thinkers.Binding Type: Paperback

Good quality and value for my son!
Number of Items: 5, Color: Black/Sport Grey/Charcoal, Size: Large
I bought the Gildan Men’s Crew T-Shirts multipack on Amazon for my 12-year-old son, who is on the heavier side and thus sometimes difficult to shop for. Pre-teen kids grow fast and go through clothes quickly, so I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on basics he’ll probably outgrow in a year. These shirts are really affordable, especially for a multipack, and the quality is surprisingly good for the price.
The fabric is soft and comfortable, and my son says they feel good to wear all day at school. They’re lightweight and did not shrink after washing. I also like that the shirts don’t get stretched out like some cheaper T-shirts do.
The fit works well for him too. They’re simple, classic crew neck tees that can be worn on their own or layered under hoodies and jackets. We’ve used them for school and just everyday wear.
Another thing I appreciate is that they’re easy to care for. I just toss them in the wash and dryer and they come out looking fine every time.
Overall, these are a great value. If you need affordable, comfortable basic T-shirts for a growing kid (or an adult!), this pack is definitely worth buying.

My husband really likes the quality of these t-shirts. They fit nicely and dont have a sagging neckline as some t-shirts tend to have.
The colors are nice and they wash up well.
Not a heavy so comfortable for everyday use whether relaxing, doing yard work etc

Great t shirts
Number of Items: 5, Color: Navy/Heather Navy/Indigo Blue, Size: Large
Great t shirts. They fit great, and are very comfy as an under shirt or just a solid color shirt. Have washed them multiple times and they still hold up good, don’t wrinkle easy, and colors have stayed nice. The fit is great, can definitely be used for work, gym, whatever, just good comfy shirts
