Desc: Liebe Dein Symptom wie Dich selbst!: Directed by Katharina Höcker, Claudia Willke. With Slavoj Zizek, Jacques Lacan. Slavoj Zizek, born in 1949 in Ljubljana, psychoanalyst and professor of philosophy, started early on a group of theoreticians who sharpened their thinking of the theses of Jacques Lacan. The Slovenian Lacan School was a spiritual resistance nest in orthodox ex-Yugoslavia, and Slavoj Zizek emerged as a globally operating philosopher-entertainer.
