ABSTRACT
Chapter 5 shows how the Slovenian or Ljubljana School is today the heir of the best of Hegel’s thought, passed through Lacan’s psychoanalysis, and allows us to understand a human being at the height of the event; very different from other schools of thought such as those of Essex or Frankfurt where sexuation and with it a theory of the real is not thought from the contingent itself. And so we can see its great thinkers such as Žižek, Zupančič, Dolar and others, reflecting the human from Lacan’s own formulas of sexuation (Seminar 20: Aun, 1972–1973), however always in this work of the Slovenians, although it is very novel, it starts from a certain structural and, at the same time, Kantian feature (a Real with something of the “thing in itself”), which does not let us see the richness of Hegel’s own thought and which is a thought with a plasticity that gives us to understand this Dionysian human at the same time: gay, trans, abject, monstrous, mestizo, emancipatory, that is, queer. And that is why Žižek’s permanent attempt to find this human escapes him, because his theoretical starting point prevents him from doing so and he is always too late to find the monstrous queer.
