Looking Awry – An Introduction to Jacques Lacan Through Popular Culture

Ever wondered what Hitchcock, Lynch, and horror films have to do with psychoanalytic theory? Slavoj Žižek brilliantly decodes Lacan's notoriously difficult ideas through the lens of popular culture—from noir classics to sci-fi. This is theory made accessible without dumbing down, proving that the most profound insights often hide in plain sight. Perfect for psych students, cultural theorists, and anyone who's ever suspected their favourite films might be smarter than they seem.
