	Ernesto Laclau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ernesto Laclau is a political theorist often described as post-marxist.
		Laclau's most important book is Hegemony and Socialist Strategy, which he co-authored with Chantal Mouffe.
		Their thought is usually described as post-Marxist as they were both politically active in the social and student movements of the 1960s and thus tried to join working class and new social movements.

	CM2002 Article: Simon Critchley
		For Ernesto, the fullness of society, or the harmonisation of society with itself, is an impossible object of political desire which successive contingent decisions seek to bring about or, to use the term that Ernesto inherits, to ‘suture’.
		Firstly, Laclau grants that the theory of hegemony cannot be a strictly factual or descriptive affair, both because such a purportedly value-neutral description of the fact is impossible — all facts are discursive, and hence enunciative constructs — and because any apprehension of the facts is governed by normative elements.
		Ernesto writes: ‘I would say that hegemony is a theoretical approach which depends upon the essentially ethical decision to accept as the horizon of any possible intelligibility the incommensurability between the ethical and the normative, the latter including the descriptive’.

	Ernesto Laclau: "Politics and the Limits of Modernity" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		As for him, the 'social' itself is a discourse and it is in the form of discursive sequences that articulate linguistic and extra linguistic elements, which leads the society to plurality.
		Laclau continues his assertion of radically relational character of identity and further employs this conception to analyze politics.
		Laclau makes the concept of empty signifiers clearer and redefines the global emancipation by telling from the difference between the foundation and the horizon.

	Hegel and Postmodern Discourse Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		According to Laclau and Mouffe, the only alternative to the essentialist logic of a fundamental ground is that the limits of discourse are set by some constitutive beyond.
		Laclau and Mouffe are caught in the standard performative contradiction of postmodernism, namely, in the very gesture with which they deny the possibility of a shared universe of meanings they demonstrate that their argument relies on such a totality for its intelligibility.

	Agonism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since then, many of those people have come to the view that the 'materialist conception of history' [2] does not give sufficient reason for hope about a harmonious society to come.
		Chantal Mouffe and Ernesto Laclau are amongst those who have come to agonism from a background in Marxism and the social movements of the middle part of the last century [3].
		Thus, agonism can be seen as a response to the perceived failures of strands of idealism and materialism to accord with reality, and to provide useful responses to contemporary problems.

	Hegemony and Socialist Strategy by Laclau and Mouffe - Reviewed by Brian Precious
		The currents upon which Laclau and Mouffe draw emphasise that the meanings of the elements of such a system are not present outside such a system.
		Such an hegemony is termed by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe a “radical and plural democracy” based upon the principle of liberty and equality for all, in which all relations of subordination and exploitation are abolished – such as capitalism, racism and sexism etc.
		Far from painting a Camberwick Green picture of human society (a la the acolytes of “communitarianism”), HSS shows the human world for what it is: a historically specific construction which is riven with conflict and antagonisms, and the book generalises this field of conflict to all social relations without exception and without privilege-including class struggle.

	Vayrynen: Securitised Ethnic Identities
		As Ernesto Laclau argues, the multiplication of new identities as a result of the collapse of the places from which the universal subject spoke has produced the explosion of, for example, ethnic and nationalistic identities and, therefore, the sites of political mobilisation seem to appear in unexpected places (Feldman, 1991, pp.
		According to Laclau, the less the sedimented social practices are able to ensure social reproduction, the more new acts of political intervention and identification are socially required (1994, pp.
		This leads, as Laclau argues, to politicization (and securitization) of social identities as well as proliferation of particularistic political identities.

		Laclau says he assumed Zizek had a sophisticated political sense when he entered the collaboration but must conclude that he was wrong--Zizek is politically stupid, and Butler is a ranting, raving dyke--or so Laclau implies by referring to her first essay as a "war machine" or something.
		Laclau is very good, and Zizek has nuggets, but his Hegelian/Lacanianism is showing signs of wear and doesn't offer the opportunities for further theoretical developments and even research projects that the projects of Butler and Laclau offer.
		Zizek and Laclau are on their game and their detailed responses back and forth really help in understanding what is at stake.

	On Populist Reason
		Laclau’s analysis of populist experiences begins with a critique of current approaches to populism, illustrated by two essential cases: the formation of a popular identity in French Jacobinism, and the dissolution of such an identity in the aftermath of British Chartism.
		Finally Laclau examines a series of historical examples of populism, drawn mainly from American, Canadian, Argentinian and Turkish experiences.
		Ernesto Laclau is Professor of Political Theory at the University of Essex.

	Emancipation(s) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		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 national identities, the social fragmentation under late capitalism, and the collapse of universal certainties in philosophy and social and historical thought.
		Laclau here begins to explore precisely how our visions of emancipation have been recast under these new conditions.
		Laclau examines the internal contradictions of the notion of “emancipation” as it emerged from the mainstream of modernity, as well as the relation between universalism and particularism which is inherent in it.

		Rather than concentrate on the differences in Laclau's and Jameson's theoretical orientations, areas of convergence in their theoretical positions are studied.
		In addition, it is contended that Jameson's (1988, 1991) notion of totality and Laclau's (1990) concept of contingency possess similarities, and both thinkers exhibit a similar understanding of ideology.

		Ernesto Laclau (Government, University of Essex, UK) is currently working on the discursive construction of social antagonisms, the topic of his presentation at Georgetown.
		However, in contrast to more traditional discourse analysis (such as that of Michel Pecheux), Professor Laclau has also incorporated broad theoretical and philosophical inquiries into his work, a fact that has made his writing of interest to a wide range of disciplines.

		Certainly Gramsci was quite concerned about providing a philosophical dimension to his social reflection, but Laclau, Butler and, to a lesser extend Zizek, bury the social reflection under tons of excessive philosophical references.
		The lack of sociological dimension is particularly noticeable regarding Laclau's discussion of contigency.
		However, if you have read their works, or have a solid knowledge of these theoriticians, this book is excellent as a way to understand the similarities and differences between their theories.
