Article: From Žižek's Monstrous Politics to the Political Theology of Kierkegaard's Housing Project

Just published: Marko Zlomislić (Conestoga College), "From Žižek's Monstrous Politics to the Political Theology of Kierkegaard's Housing Project" ("Toronto Journal of Theology", 27 [2], August 2011: pp. 175-88).

Quote: "Kierkegaard's philosophy provides us with a radical opening from which to re-think political theology from the position of the single individual to come. The program that Žižek upholds is not adequate for the transformation of society or self because it does not have a religious understanding of the individual. As such, Žižek's position is grounded in despair, not love."
