«The Ticklish Subject» is Slavoj Žižek's essay on political philosophy, published by Verso in paperback (409 pages, in English).
The book explores the place of the Cartesian subject in contemporary theory: it starts from the image of a spectre that runs through academia and develops a political ontology whose centre is an absence. Žižek articulates psychoanalysis, philosophy and ideology to show how that void structures subjectivity and the forms of the political.
The exact subtitle is 'The Absent Centre of Political Ontology'; the edition dates from June 2000 and the book falls within philosophy.
A work of interest for scholars of contemporary left-wing thought and for those following Slavoj Žižek's intellectual trajectory.
