In this video I discuss Zizek's understanding of the subject as the "little piece of the Real" that both grounds and escapes the "correlational circle" of subjective experience. For Zizek, subjectivity is not an "extra layer" of spiritual reality on top of the material world, but is itself inscribed into the world of objects in the form of objet a.

Preface to Aphesis: The Impossibility of Subjectivity
Aphesis is a philosophical journey through hell, ending with a brief–perhaps even miraculous–glimpse of salvation. Many readers of the first edition were quick to note that the transition from the atheistic philosophy of subjectivity to the meditations on Christian theology were sudden and did not naturally follow from the reasoning of the previous chapters, but is this not the very way in which the grace of God operates? It is often when the sinner is most lost in this world–totally unconcerned with anything beyond themselves–that the Spirit of God descends into their hearts and shatters all of their prior assumptions and misconceptions.
I found Christ through this book. When I wrote the first word of Aphesis in the summer of 2019, I was a staunch (Nietzschean) atheist, and I wrote the final chapter as a catechumen in the Orthodox Church. When I say that I found Christ through this book, I mean it in the most literal sense. My “moment of conversion” occurred while I was shooting hoops in my driveway, in deep and troubled thought over my inability to complete the final chapter of this book, one which would overcome, or at least provide a reconciliation with, the “impossibilities of subjectivity.” And suddenly, as if a veil had been lifted from my eyes, I perceived the profound truth that the Christian story of salvation provides a “narrow path” out of every paradox and contradiction I found myself lost in. I dropped the ball, and the coincidences I perceived “made me suddenly stand still.”
