The Prince, the Pope, the Ideologue, the Booger

V knjigi O glasu Žižkov sidekick Mladen Dolar detektira “srečno okoliščino”, po kateri je besedo pojem v slovenščini mogoče prebrati na tri načine: pôjem – pójem – pojém. Potem ko smo se spoprijeli s prvim (The Great Pretender) in iznašli drugega (montaža distrakcij), triado zaključujemo z razširjenim, a omaloževanim prehranskim dopolnilom.

So Smetnjakove Žižek Studies s tem pri koncu? Nič ne obljubljamo.
