In this book, adopting iek's own tactic of counterintuitive observation, Simmons reads the corpus of Alfred Hitchcock's films?and iek's idiosyncratic citation of them in order to?identify the core commitments that inform iek's own work. From the practice of Hitchcock the author?arrives at a theory of iek. To achieve this goal each chapter looks at a specific film by Hitchcock and explores a specific key concept crucial to the elaboration and core of iek's ideas.
