Zizek is speaking in his native tongue, that is Slovenian. I tried to translate the talk as best I could, but at times the tempo is too fast, so the translation may miss something.
Anyway, this is a remarkable debate, I think. I wanted to translate everything, but I don't have the time to do it, and I think that the people of the world may find the full debate confusing. On the other hand, Zizek is always clear ;)
PS: please ignore grammatical errors, English is my second language...
