Zizek's Jokes: (Did you hear the one about Hegel and negation?)

Zizek's Jokes is a selection of Jokes from works (both published and unpublished) of Slavoj Žižek. Many are off-color and are often used to illustrate concepts in his works. The book can be repetitive - with slight variations of the same joke culled from different sources. The jokes can be used to tell "truths" of situations. They can properly criticize even when public criticism is not allowed. On the other hand, they can also give the feeling of criticism, and allow people to feel empowered even when they are not. Plenty of jokes cover feelings of those in the Eastern Block countries (where they may or may not have been created by those in power.) The book is short, but largely disappointing.
