The recent LRB articles by Benjamin Kunkel on Frederic Jameson and David Harvey are relevant here. I found the one on Harvey particularly useful:
On Harvey: http://www.lrb.co.uk/v33/n03/benjamin-k ... s-too-much
On Jameson: http://www.lrb.co.uk/v32/n08/benjamin-k ... e-big-tent
The above claims that Marx is passé or irrelevant are willfully ignorant and tragicomically self-satisfied.

I love the way the Post structures articles.
SOURCES SAY GAGA AND ZIZEK HUNG OUT AND TALKED HIGH CONCEPTS
ZIZEK CALLS GAGA "FRIEND" AND SPEAKS POSITIVELY ABOUT ELEMENTS OF HER WORK.
and then FINALLY at the very end:
Gaga's people declined to comment and Zizek said this is all made up and we're misinterpreting his blog post.

I think Zizek's comment that "it was all made up" refers to his possible romantic relationship with Gaga, no?
