Slavoj Zizek Quotes

A Dispassionate Conceptual Development Of The Typology Of Violence Must By Definition Ignore Its Traumatic Impact. Yet There Is A Sense In Which A Cold Analysis Of Violence Somehow Reproduces And Participates In Its Horror. A Distinction Needs To Be Made, As Well, Between (factual) Truth And Truthfulness: What Renders A Report Of A Raped Woman (or Any Other Narrative Of A Trauma) Truthful Is Its Very Factual Unreliability, Its Confusion, Its Inconsistency. If The Victim Were Able To Report On Her Painful And Humiliating Experience In A Clear Manner, With All The Data Arranged In A Consistent Order, This Very Quality Would Make Us Suspicious Of Its Truth.
