Radical Genre: Simon Critchley and Slavoj Zizek on the Comic
摘要
The comic genre is deeply invested in incongruities, disorder, and the upending of received hierarchies of being. As such, it is political to its core. Radical thinkers like Simon Critchley and Slavoj Zizek benefit substantially from the comic genre, using it as a powerful critical method to address political questions. Despite their profound disagreements across key strategic and ethical issues, their critiques of ideology in comic terms both seek to resuscitate the political in the depoliticizing climate of contemporary practices. Their arguments reveal how political knowledge is predicated on generic knowledge, suggesting that genre criticism can contribute to political judgments.
