CIPER Chile » Blog Archive » El provocador discurso de Nibaldo Mosciatti al recibir el Premio Embotelladora Andina 2010. Con cada palabra que leía Nibaldo Mosciatti, el rostro de la ministra secretaria general de Gobierno, Ena von Baer, se descomponía cada vez más. Lo mismo le pasó a Juan Claro, presidente del directorio de Embotelladora Andina que la acompañaba en la testera, y a los militares, empresarios y autoridades invitados. Era la 31ª versión de una ceremonia formal y protocolar, la entrega del Premio de Periodismo Embotelladora Andina 2010, donde el periodista de Radio Bío Bío era el invitado de honor, el galardonado por su trayectoria.
Pero el protocolo se esfumó apenas comenzó su discurso. Desde un comienzo, Mosciatti disparó contra la Universidad Católica, la Iglesia, la dictadura, los militares y los periodistas al servicio de las relaciones públicas y el poder. A éstos últimos los retrató desde “un rincón un poco humillante, como esas casuchas para los perros guardianes, que te guarece de la lluvia pero que incuba pulgas y garrapatas, pero allí nunca falta el tacho con comida”. Slavoj Žižek. "Žižek" and "Zizek" redirect here.
For the biographical documentary film, see Zizek!. Slavoj Žižek (Slovene pronunciation: [ˈslavoj ˈʒiʒɛk] ( ); born 21 March 1949) is a Slovenian Marxist philosopher, and cultural critic, a senior researcher at the Institute for Sociology and Philosophy, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, Global Distinguished Professor of German at New York University,[1] and international director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities. He writes widely on a diverse range of topics, including political theory, film theory, cultural studies, theology, and psychoanalysis. Žižek achieved international recognition as a social theorist after the 1989 publication of his first book in English, The Sublime Object of Ideology, which disputed a Marxist interpretation of ideology as false consciousness and argued for ideology as an unconscious fantasy that structures reality.
Žižek considers himself a political radical and critic of neoliberalism. Thought[edit] Criticism[edit] American Book Review :: Home. 1. Call me Ishmael. —Herman Melville, Moby-Dick (1851) 2.
