  • It is when we watched on TV screen the two WTC towers collapsing, that it became possible to experience the falsity of the "reality TV shows": even if this shows are "for real," people still act in them - they simply play themselves. The standard disclaimer in a novel ("characters in this text are a fiction, every resemblance with the real life characters is purely contingent") holds also for the participants of the reality soaps: what we see there are fictional characters, even if they play themselves for the real.

      Zizek seems to be arguing for a position from which specific events make manifest the constructedness of subjectivity--a kind of Althusserian "crack" in ideology, perhaps.

    Piece by Zizek in the days following 9/11/01 that shows amazing prescience--but relates in interesting ways to the need for a philosophy to be in place so that "bad" (for lack of a better term) decisions can be avoided.

  • "Technology is not neutral. We're inside of what we make, and it's inside of us. We're living in a world of connections - and it matters which ones get made and unmade."

      Nicely said--would fit well within any argument about distributed identities, I suspect.

  • “We all have multiple identities, and they can all be discriminated against. It’s the identities we carry that make us vulnerable here.”

    On choking in sports, but has info on stereotyping's effects on performance as well as the division of identity into separate parts. Identity Threat particularly interesting.
