Slavoj Žižek – Hegel, Historicity, Kafka retroactively creating his own influences

"[Jorge Luis Borges] claim about Kafka, not only Kafka but truly great artists, is not simply that they didn't have any predecessors but that a truly great author creates his own precursors [retroactively]. [...] William Blake, Dostoevsky, Edgar Allen Poe [...] His point is we can see the way these guys had influence on Kafka only once Kafka is already here. It is Kafka himself with his achievement who put back into Poe, Dostoevsky etc. as it were, the possibility of Kafka. Again, an event retroactively creates its own possibility. That's what Hegel calls 'Totalizing' [...] Totalizing means radical open contingent history." From 9 hours of lecture on Hegel (meaning definitely worth listening to it ... twice)    • Slavoj Žižek - On G.W.F. Hegel   #snippet
