The Parallax View is Slavoj Zizek's most substantial theoretical work to appear in many years; Zizek himself describes it as his magnum opus. Parallax can be defined as the apparent displacement of an object, caused by a change in observational position. Zizek is interested in the "parallax gap" separating two points between which no synthesis or mediation is possible, linked b...(展开全部)

What makes Steven Holl one of the most celebrated architects working today? As we learn in "Parallax, " his success comes from his sculptural form making, his interest in the poetics of space, color, and materiality, and his fascination with scientific phenomena.
