During the 1980s Žižek was actively involved in the democratic opposition to the independent socialist regime in Yugoslavia, of which Slovenia was then a part. While in Paris he also underwent psychoanalysis with Lacan’s son-in-law and intellectual heir, Jacques-Alain Miller. In the early 1980s he studied psychoanalysis at the University of Paris VIII, receiving a second doctoral degree (1985) for an unorthodox Lacanian interpretation of G.W.F. In the late 1970s his interests shifted from the social theory of the Frankfurt School, which provided him with a psychoanalytic and Marxist critique of ideology, to the psychoanalytic theory of Jacques Lacan. Žižek studied philosophy at the University of Ljubljana, where he obtained bachelor’s (1971), master’s (1975), and doctoral (1981) degrees and served as researcher and professor from 1979. He was one of the most prominent public intellectuals of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The broad compass of Žižek’s theorizing, his deliberately provocative style, and his tendency to leaven his works with humour made him a popular figure in the Western intellectual left from the 1990s.
