Presenter about Žižek’s Ideology Critique at the Canon of Classics

19’th of June 2025: Invited by Professor Søren Askegaard at the University of Southern Denmark, I presented my take on the Slovenian philosopher Slavoy Žižeks’ importance in critical marketing studies and CCT (consumer culture theory). The weeklong course is a bi-annual PhD course which takes place in Odense, Denmark, and was exactly the same course as I took 2004 and has been a CCT’er since then. Thank you Søren, and everyone else who presented (@dannikjeldgaard, @jeffmurray, @ianwoodward, @olgakravets). And not least, thank you to all the students! So many and so bright!
