LACLAU ERNESTO

ΗΓΕΜΟΝΙΑ ΚΑΙ ΣΟΣΙΑΛΙΣΤΙΚΗ ΣΤΡΑΤΗΓΙΚΗ
Η Ηγεμονία και Σοσιαλιστική Στρατηγική δημοσιεύθηκε αρχικά το 1985 και από τότε βρίσκεται στο επίκεντρο πολλών σημαντικών θεωρητικο-πολιτικών συζητήσεων, τόσο στον αγγλοσαξονικό κόσμο όσο και αλλού. Πολλά πράγματα έχουν αλλάξει στη σύγχρονη σκηνή από τότε. Για να αναφερθούμε μόνο στις πιο σημαντικές εξελίξεις, είναι αρκετό να μνημονεύσουμε το τέλος του Ψυχρού πολέμου και τη διάλυση του σοβιετικού συστήματος. Σε αυτά πρέπει να προσθέσουμε τις δραστικές μεταμορφώσεις της κοινωνικής δομής, οι οποίες αποτελούν τη βάση νέων παραδειγμάτων για τη...

(P/B) ON POPULIST REASON
A philosophical and political exploration of the construction of popular identities In this highly original and influential work, Ernesto Laclau focuses on the construction of popular identities and how "the people" emerge as a collective actor. Skilfully combining theoretical analysis with a myriad of empirical references from numerous historical and geographical contexts, he offers a critical reading of the existing literature on populism, demonstrating its dependency on the theorists of "mass psychology," such as Taine and Freud. On Pop...

(P/B) HEGEMONY AND SOCIALIST STRATEGY
In this hugely influential book, Laclau and Mouffe examine the workings of hegemony and contemporary social struggles, and their significance for democratic theory. With the emergence of new social and political identities, and the frequent attacks on Left theory for its essentialist underpinnings, Hegemony and Socialist Strategy remains as relevant as ever, positing a much-needed antidote against 'Third Way' attempts to overcome the antagonism between Left and Right. (From the publisher)...

(P/B) CONTINGENCY, HEGEMONY, UNIVERSALITY
Expanding the frontiers of the philosophical Left, Judith Butler, Ernesto Laclau, and Slavoj Zizek collide in a fierce dialogue over the pressure points, burning questions, and black boxes of contemporary thought. At the heart of this experiment in intellectual synthesis is an effort to clarify differences of method and understanding within a common political trajectory. Through a series of exchanges on the value of the Hegelian and Lacanian legacies, the dilemmas of multiculturalism, and the political challenges of a global economy, Butle...

(P/B) EMANCIPATION(S)
Laclau argues that the changes of the late twentieth century have altered Enlightenment notions of emancipation. In Emancipation(s), Ernesto Laclau addresses a central question: how have the changes of the last decade, together with the transformation in contemporary thought, altered the classical notion of "emancipation" as formulated since the Enlightenment? Our visions of the future and our expectations of emancipation, have been deeply affected by the changes of recent history: the end of the Cold War, the explosion of new ethnic and n...

(P/B) POLITICS AND IDEOLOGY IN MARXIST THEORY
Ernesto Laclau is best known for co-authoring Hegemony and Socialist Strategy, with Chantal Mouffe. Politically active in the social and student movements of the 1960s, and a member of PSIN (Socialist Party of the National Left), Laclau's oeuvre links the working class and new social movements. Rejecting Marxist economic determinism and the notion of class struggle, Laclau instead urged for a radical democracy where antagonisms could be expressed. Frequently described as post-Marxist, Laclau's writings have focused on political movements. ...

(P/B) THE RHETORICAL FOUNDATIONS OF SOCIETY
The essays collected in this volume develop the theoretical perspective initiated in Laclau and Mouffe's classic Hegemony and Socialist Strategy, taking it in three principal directions. First, this book explores the specificity of social antagonisms and answers the question "What is an antagonistic relation?" - an issue which has become increasingly crucial in our globalized world, where the proliferation of conflicts and points of rupture is eroding their links to the social subjects postulated by classical social analysis. This leads La...

(P/B) HEGEMONY AND SOCIALIST STRATEGY
Hegemony and Socialist Strategy was originally published in 1985, and since then it has been at the centre or many important theoreticopolitical discussions, both in die Anglo-Saxon world and elsewhere. Many things have changed in the contemporary scene since that time. To refer just to the most important developments, it is enough to mention the end of the Cold War and the disintegration of the Soviet system. To this we should add drastic transformations of the social structure, which are at the root of new paradigms in the constitution o...

(P/B) NEW REFLECTIONS ON THE REVOLUTION OF OUR TIME
New Reflections on the Revolution of Our Time continues the innovative exploration of major issues concerning democracy and socialism which was staked out in Hegemony and Socialist Strategy. Examining the meanings of social struggle in the context of late capitalism, Laclau situates the re-making of political identities within a framework of democratic revolution. The critical method is one which describes major structural changes in the contemporary world-system at the same time as it theorizes a coherent and radical interpretative form. ...
