Dexter

Sunday, April 13, 2008 — Adam Kotsko

Having watched both extant seasons of Dexter with my characteristic obsessiveness, one point jumps out at me, confirmed by Anthony and Brad: this show is the ideal object of Zizekian analysis. One might conjecture, then, that it is Zizek, not Deleuze, who in fact has the metaphysics of a serial killer.

    Having watched most of Dexter, I think I would disagree only because Nip/Tuck seems to be an even better case (of offering itself to an ‘ideal Zizekian analysis’).

    Was it the metaphysics or ontology of a serial killer? I always get the two mixed up.

    It’s metaphysics — presumably because a “bad” ontology is no ontology at all (hence my paper was against ontology as such, despite the fact that I endorsed Nancy’s so-called “ontology”).
