  • Summary

  • Alright, we’re ⁠Living in the End Times⁠ and this is the FOURTH and FINAL episode in our series on The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, or as Žižek sometimes puts it, the Four Riders of the Apocalypse.

    So far in our series we’ve taken a look at the economy focussing on intellectual property, the biogenetic revolution, nature and the ideology of ecology, and today we’ll look at the fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse, the one Žižek locates in the space of the global commons of humanity, what he describes as the explosive growth of social division or new forms of apartheid, new walls and slums...

    Žižek says we are approaching a whole series of critical points, and the question is: can the global liberal democratic system – the capitalist system – deal with them or not?

    A special thank you to everyone who has been reaching out to us about this new series, it's been much appreciated!

    See you in Paris!
