Slavoj Žižek is a cultural theorist whose works addresses themes in psychoanalysis, politics, and popular culture. Through his works he keeps revolutionary political imagination alive. He perceives violence in the normalized symbolic order and thus pits his ideas against the fixation of human life to set rules and regulations. In the light of this ethical position, Žižek confronts the reigning ideology of multiculturalism and postmodernism which works on the ethical imperative to “love thy neighbour”(Violence 64) and in this way, limits the subject to its finite symbolic reality where ‘other’ is always respected. Ethics of the real, on the other hand, shows the possibility that the subject can free itself from the gaze of the Other in order to show fidelity to its own desire. For this reason, Žižek separates ethics from morality. In this paper the encounter between Objective Violence and Ethics of the Real will be explored which is a relationship not based on unity and coherence, but on contradiction and negation.
