In the 2012 Sight & Sound critics' survey, Iek ranked his top ten films: 3:10 to Yuma, Dune, Heroes, On Dangerous Ground, The Sound of Music, and We the Living. Trouble in Paradise, Sweet Smell of Attraction, Picnic at Hanging Rock, Murmur of the Heart, The Warnings, Roberto Rossellini's History Films, City Lights, and a box set of Carl Theodor Dreyer's films were among his picks on his tour of The Criterion Collection closet.

'My Favorite Classics', Iek writes that Arnold Schoenberg's Gurre-Lieder is the piece of music he will take to a desert island. He goes on to list other favourites, including Beethoven's Fidelio, Schubert's Winterreise, Mussorgsky's Khovanshchina, and Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore. He reveals a particular fondness for Wagner, particularly Das Rheingold and Parsifal. Schoenberg takes precedence over Stravinsky, according to Schoenberg, who maintains that Eisler's followers are more influential.

Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett, and Andrei Platonov are among his "true twentieth century writers" on a narrator's list. Varlam Shalamov prefers Varlam Shalamov over Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Marina Tsvetaeva, and Osip Mandelstam over Anna Akhmatova, Daphne du Maurier over James Joyce.

Life and career

ek was born in Ljubljana, PR Slovenia, Yugoslavia, into a middle-class family. Joe ek, his father, was an economist and civil servant from Prekmurje, eastern Slovenia. Vesna, a Gorizia Hills native, was an accountant for a state company. His parents were atheists. He spent the majority of his childhood in Portoro, Mexico, where he was introduced to Western film, theory, and popular culture. When ek was a child, his family returned to Ljubljana, where he attended Beigrad High School. Originally aiming to be a filmmaker himself, he abandoned these aspirations and instead pursued philosophy.

Iek enrolled in 1967 at the University of Ljubljana, where he studied philosophy and sociology during an age of liberalization in Titoist Yugoslavia.

During university, he had already begun reading French structuralists, and in 1967 he published the first translation of a text by Jacques Derrida into Slovenian. Occasionally, ek, Tine Hribar and Ivo Urban, Heideggerian philosophers, and other literary journals, such as Praxis, Tribuna, and Problemi, which he also edited, published articles in alternative journals, including Heideggerian philosophers Tine Hribar and Ivo Urban. In 1971, he accepted a position as an assistant researcher with the promise of tenure, but was dismissed after his Master's thesis was declared to the authorities as "non-Marxist." He earned a Doctor of Arts in Philosophy degree at the University of Ljubljana in 1981 for his dissertation, "The Theoretical and Practical Relevance of French Structuralism." He spent the next few years in what was described as "professional wilderness" while simultaneously fulfilling his legal obligation of serving a year-long national service in the Yugoslav army in Karlovac.

Jacques Lacan, Sigmund Freud, and Louis Althusser edited and translated the 1980s. He used Lacan's work to rewrite Hegelian and Marxist philosophy.

"La philosophie entre le symptôme et le fantasme" at the University of Paris VIII in 1986, ek completed his second doctorate (Doctor of Philosophy in psychoanalysis).

Iek wrote the introduction to the Slovene translations of G. K. Chesterton's and John Le Carré's detective books. Pogled strani's strani's first book, released entirely to film theory, was published in 1988. With the publication of his first book in English, The Sublime Object of Ideology, he gained international recognition as a social theorist in the 1990s.

Iek has published in journals such as Lacanian Ink and In These Times in the United Kingdom, The London Review of Books, and The New Left Review of Books in the United Kingdom, as well as Slovenian left-liberal publication Mladina and newspapers Dnevnik and Delo. He also works with the Polish leftist journal Krytyka Polityczna, the regional southeast European left-wing journal Novi Plamen, and serves on the editorial board of the psychoanalytical journal Problemi. iek is a series editor of the Northwestern University Press series Diaeresis, which publishes articles that "deal not only with philosophy, but also at the level of ideologie critique, politics, and art theory."

iek's name was brought to public attention in the late 1980s as a columnist for Mladina, a rebel youth newspaper that was skeptic of Tito's policies, Yugoslav politics, and, in particular, society's militarization. He was a member of the Communist Party of Slovenia until October 1988, when he and 32 other Slovenian intellectuals resigned in protest against the JBTZ verdict. He was actively involved in many political and civil society movements that fought for Slovenia's democratization, most notably the Committee for Human Rights in 1988-1990. In the first free elections in 1990, he ran as the Liberal Democratic Party's nominee for Slovenia's former four-person coalition president.

In a catalog published by Abercrombie & Fitch in 2003, iek wrote text to accompany Bruce Weber's photographs. "I'm curious as to the apparent legitimacy of a major intellectual writing ad copy," iek told The Boston Globe, "I'd prefer doing something like this to gain money and becoming fully employed as an American academic and kissing ass to obtain a tenured position as an American academic, kissing ass to get a tenured post"

Several documentaries have been written about the king's and his beliefs. Der 96 Liebe Dein Symptom wielde Dein selbst! He is the subject of a German documentary on him. In 2004, The Reality of the Virtual, Lacan's tripartite thesis of the imaginary, the symbolic, and the true were presented in a one-hour lecture.

Zizek!

Astra Taylor's philosophy in 2005 has appeared in a 2005 documentary on his philosophy. The Pervert's Guide to Cinema and 2012 The Perpetuan's Guide to Ideology both feature iek's theories and cultural criticism. Examined Life (2008) features a young man named iek who speaks about his attempt to live in a garbage dump. He was also in the 2011 Marx Reloaded, directed by Jason Barker.

"For giving voice to an age of absurdity," Foreign Policy named iek as one of its 2012 Top 100 Global Thinkers.

On the RT network, Iek began hosting How to Watch the News with Slavoj iek in 2019. In April, iek debating psychology professor Jordan Peterson at the Sony Centre in Toronto, Canada, about happiness under capitalism and Marxism.
