基本説明
Opera's Second Death explores the curious relationship between opera and psychoanalysis. Focusing on the notion of death as it affects both subjects, Zizek and Dolar consider the parallels between 'death in opera' and 'orgasm'.
Full Description
Opera's Second Death is a passionate exploration of opera - the genre, its masterpieces, and the nature of death. Using a dazzling array of tools, Slavoj Zizek and coauthor Mladen Dolar explore the strange compulsions that overpower characters in Mozart and Wagner, as well as our own desires to die and to go to the opera.
