Rothenberg’s chapter on guess who …

Molly Anne Rothenberg’s chapter on Žižek, particularly her discussion of Žižek’s theory of the political Act, deserves a friendly rejoinder from Žižek himself.   I get the impression Žižek didn’t read this chapter closely enough before he submitted his foreward to her book to the publisher.  His foreward celebrates R’s call for retroversive causality, but it is in the name of this very concept that Rothenberg takes Žižek to task.
