  Bet365 lotto review Zizek uses detective novels as a way of thinking,Examining Lacan’s psychoanalytic concepts through detective novels。Detective novels revolve around the real world,But ultimately avoids the real world、Return to the original order,And in this way give readers "residual pleasure"。Classical detective novels and hard-boiled detective novels avoid the real world by "anchoring the evil in one criminal" and "avoiding the femme fatale who represents the 'death drive'" respectively。Zizek insists on "de-concealing" the real world in detective novels: he points out the falsity of the "truth" revealed in classical detective novels at the level of desire,And discover the ethical dimension and action potential from the femme fatale image in tough guy detective novels。
