How is this live? I thought Assange is under house arrest of some kind...

I'm in a poli-sci department with a bunch of continental political theorists. I cannot stand Slavok Žižek. Probably the biggest living bullshit artist in political theory.

Yes, Zizek has very little respect for conventions of academia.

Nope, he's on bail. As long as he doesn't break the conditions of the bail, he can pretty much do what he wants.

I'm interested. Can you offer any source for this claim? I was considering of reading some of his writings but if he has to offer no value, I'd rather know in advance.

Relying on academics' opinions of their peers as a measure of value is not going to serve you well.
