« Ils ne savent pas ce qu'ils font » : telle est la définition la plus exacte que l'on puisse donner de la méconnaissance fondant toute idéologie. Une telle méconnaissance, pourtant, ne témoigne pas d'un aveuglement ou d'une ignorance. Au contraire, elle témoigne d'une jouissance – une jouissance qui naît paradoxalement de l'injonction de renoncer à toute jouissance. Là où on ne sait pas, on jouit – et là où on jouit, il y a « sinthome » (comme le disait Jacques Lacan), il y a symptôme de l'idéologie. Ainsi, par exemple, le Juif est-il le sinthome du nazi, ou le traître révisionniste le sinthome du stalinien. Des totalitarismes fasciste et soviétique jusqu'à l'économie libidinale de la prétendue postmodernité, les sinthomes idéologiques, ainsi que la jouissance louche qui les accompagne, sont partout. Dans Ils ne savent pas ce qu'ils font, Slavoj Žižek les traque avec sa virtuosité coutumière, passant sans vergogne d'Alfred Hitchcock à Woody Allen, de la tragédie du Titanic à celle de Tchernobyl, et de la théorie critique de l'École de Francfort à celle de Lacan. Un classique absolu, introuvable depuis vingt ans, et enfin réédité.

"This book examines the heritage of critical theory from the Hungarian Marxist philosopher Georg Lukács through the early Frankfurt School up to current issues of authoritarian politics and democratisation. Interweaving discussion of art and literature, utopian thought, and the dialectics of high art and mass culture, it offers unique perspectives on an interconnected group of left-wing intellectuals who sought to understand and resist their society's systemic impoverishment of thought and experience. Starting from Lukács's reflections on art, utopia, and historical action, it progresses to the Frankfurt School philosopher Theodor W. Adorno's analyses of music, media, avant-garde and kitsch. It concludes with discussions of erotic utopia, authoritarianism, postsocialism, and organised deceit in show trials - topics in which the legacy of Lukács and Frankfurt. School critical theory continues to be relevant today"-- Provided by publisher.

The term 'Frankfurt School' is used widely, but sometimes loosely, to describe both a group of intellectuals and a specific social theory. Focusing on the formative and most radical years of the Frankfurt School, during the 1930s, this study concentrates on the Frankfurt School's most original contributions made to the work on a 'critical theory of society' by the philosophers Max Horkheimer and Herbert Marcuse, the psychologist Erich Fromm, and the aesthetician Theodor W. Adorno.Phil Slater traces the extent, and ultimate limits, of the Frankfurt School's professed relation to the Marxian critique of political economy. In considering the extent of the relation to revolutionary praxis, he discusses the socio-economic and political history of Weimar Germany in its descent into fascism, and considers the work of such people as Karl Korsch, Wilhelm Reich, Walter Benjamin and Bertolt Brecht, which directs a great deal of critical light on the Frankfurt School.While pinpointing the ultimate limitations of the Frankfurt School's frame of reference, Phil Slater also looks at the role their work played (largely against their wishes) in the emergence of the student anti-authoritarian movement in the 1960s. He shows that, in particular, the analysis of psychic and cultural manipulation was central to the young rebels' theoretical armour, but that even here, the lack of economic class analysis seriously restricts the critical edge of the Frankfurt School's theory. His conclusion is that the only way forward is to rescue the most radical roots of the Frankfurt School's work, and to recast these in the context of a practical theory of economic and political emancipation.
