Slavoj Žižek: The history of music in 3 minutes

Kinda glossed over everything before Bach lol

Wagner's centerpiece was a strong but lonesome Jew, loved that shit!

I get the impression from this man that every moment of his life not spent on camera or on a stage is spent partaking in delicious nose candy

Hahah lol.
Schoenberg was a romantic through and through, I might able to concede that his pupil Webern opened the door for what he is describing here, but I think most would agree more that the musical development towards fragmentation and ” dissolving the fabric of the universe “ is a later more postmodern activity. Takes ones thoughts towards liggeti and stockhausen.

The other guys at the table like " we should put a serious face atleast"

They're all wearing suits and Žižek is in a tan T-shirt

as a musician I'm very impressed, I didn't expect such deep level of knowledgeable about music and esthetic from a philosopher that usually speaks about society, economics and human behavior.

Babble. Is it the accent or weird affectations that make ppl think this guy some 'genius' or something ?

As if far richer and greater musical traditions of India and the rest of Asia, Africa etc never happened. Why is this scatterbrained idiot celebrated?

Being a genius and stupid at the same time is in itself a great talent

How did he not knock the glass of water over.

He just assumes everything.
Very unsystematic analysis if even it can be called that.
He assumes that reality dissolves. Well, I'm not so sure if reality is closed, reflexive or open.

Sylvester on drugs

Nos ne voyons pas d'autre explication

If I were sitting on the panel I would have been like "um... yeah... intresting point."

His tombstone will have written: "Slavoj Zizek and so on and so on"

This is why you should never wear a suit.

A squid eating dough
in a polyethylene bag,
is fast and bulbous, got me?

Pretty low-resolution view of musical history. I know he only has 3 minuets, but Shoenberg / Berg were merely pathfinders for modernism, and were not composers representative of that whole movement. They simply provided the elementary tools and harmonic language that much greater composers made much greater music with.

He forgot Gunnerz.

I love that he’s not wearing a suit or even looks generally presentable; that’s some main character shit.

The guys next to him look as if they were thinking "oh i remeber, back in high school there was a crazy guy like him constantly talking. And this guy here is still wearing the same shirt as in those days..."

Zizek is rude to women and has no idea what he is saying is rude. He said in his other videos 'the girl didn't want to ask him up for coffee, she really just wants to ask him to go up and fuck her' horrible character at this day and age! He also said, he thought Trump was stupid for 'marrying a Slovian Woman' horrible jokes, Trump is horrible full stop. Zizek is out of order, he is another Trump! We need to stop communism, only narcissistic characters wants to keep communism going, because they can dictate to people what they want and bully them into being communists! Marx was a narcissistic character! OMG! Stop going backwards, we need to go forward for humanity sake, not communism, communism does not create a good future, because it lacks the deep thinking in the human condition, it does not solve anything, it is cave man day ideas with Women as second class citizens!

(feeling Zizej with fascist superbreeder propaganda looming)

Auto captions are Italian lmao

“Sir, this is a Wendy’s”

If Zizek took heroic dose of acid, acid would trip balls on Slavon Zizek

turn the subtitles on and thank me later, it gets even deeper with the captions on and makes much more sense :P

His dressing style is like saying to the other guys "F*** your dressing code"

I love the mind of slavoj, but man he needs some shrooms to calm down.

If verbalism had a face

berg is his favourite? tell him to try and listen to bohuslav martinu. he will never listen to berg again. 😅

Europe centric version for history of music.

To much cocaine in his nose

Where is the FULL discussion? this is frustrating, can't find it on the channel or website

Oy. This is what you get when irrepressible egos think they can just merrily blabber on about science or music or painting. I'd be curious to know; can Zizek can even read a score?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha 😅

SZzizek is insane. He need's to get laid.

Thank you to my boyfriend for showing this to me UwU

"Sir, this is a Wendy's"

all male panel. wtf

And so on and so on…

T-shirt, Zizek? Next time wear what's appropriate, please - toga.

The subtitles, dear god the subtitles

nothing he said makes any sense whatsoever

Who even takes this idiot seriously?😂

This man is afraid of only one thing in the world. Stuttering.

He gets music history completely wrong tho but it's fascinating to listen to.

"sir, this is nexus institute"
