Abstract :This article examines four key works by Slavoj Žižek: “Philosophy, the ‘Unknown Knowns,’ and the Public Use of Reason” (2006), “The Structure of Domination Today: A Lacanian View” (2004), “The Violence of Fantasy” (2003), and “A Leftist Plea for Eurocentrism” (1998). It maps the conceptual links and antinomies that structure his political theory. Through close readings, the article demonstrates how Žižek mobilizes Lacanian psychoanalysis, Marxism, and poststructuralist critique to argue that ideology persists through “unknown knowns” and fantasy, while contemporary domination shifts from the Master’s discourse to the University discourse of depoliticized expertise. The article critically evaluates Žižek’s call for a renewed universalism as an emancipatory project and identifies unresolved tensions around agency, the particular–universal relation, and postcolonial critique. Synthesizing these texts and their major criticisms, the article contends that Žižek offers a powerful diagnostic of neoliberal power and ideological attachment but leaves open the problem of operationalizing universalism into a viable political strategy. The contribution is twofold: a unified architecture of Žižek’s account of ideology–fantasy–domination, and a clarification of the antinomies that delimit his universalist horizon in contemporary political thought.
