description: In this book, adopting Žižek’s own tactic of counterintuitive observation, Simmons reads the corpus of Alfred Hitchcock’s films and Žižek’s idiosyncratic citation of them in order to identify the core commitments that inform Žižek’s own work. From the practice of Hitchcock the author arrives at a theory of Žižek. To achieve this goal each chapter looks at a specific film by Hitchcock and explores a specific key concept crucial to the elaboration and core of Žižek’s ideas.
