Política, hegemonía y populismo: diálogos con Ernesto Laclau

Abstract

In this interview, academics Mauro Salazar and Alejandro Osorio talk with Argentine political theorist Ernesto Laclau, whose work has been of special relevance in understanding a wave of national-popular governments in Latin America in recent decades. In this respect, the scope of this interview deals with general and specific aspects of the (post-)Marxist tradition, but with an accent on the uses and abuses of the notion of hegemony, given the discursive nature of the approach in question. Thus, along with reviewing a diversity of political matters, Laclau’s notion of hegemony creates a space from which to think about the mixtures of populism
