By analysing Žižek’s psychoanalytic discourse on Balkan identity structures we question the intellectuals and their alleged autonomy. The aim of the text is to show that every order is conditioned by its non-entirety, in the sense that in the assumed ‘whole’ there is always at least one element that is excluded yet, at the same time, it appears as a link which establishes this very system. |
