iek uses examples from popular culture to explain the theory of Jacques Lacan and
uses Lacanian psychoanalysis, Hegelian philosophy and Marxist economic criticism
to interpret and speak extensively on immediately current social phenomena, inc
luding the current ongoing global financial crisis. In a 2008 interview with Amy
Goodman on the New York City radio show Democracy Now! he described himself as
a "communist in a qualified sense" and in another appearance on the show in Octo

It was not until the 1989 publication of his first book written in English, The
Sublime Object of Ideology, that iek achieved international recognition as a socia

nal intellectual.
He writes on many topics including subjectivity, ideology, capitalism, fundament
alism, racism, tolerance, multiculturalism, human rights, ecology, globalization
, the Iraq War, revolution, utopianism, totalitarianism, postmodernism, pop cult
ure, opera, cinema, political theology, and religion.
