[foketesz]

la traicion al mercosur no la hace uruguay, la hace unasur

laclau es en salta montes, cuando se fue de argentina y se traiciono

I don´t agree. This guy supports Chavez, but he can have the freedom to write about what he thinks cause he lives in Europe.

But I agree with him that populism shouldn´t be just for left movements or governments

creo que kirchner tenia dos alternativas: o el modelo venezolano o el modelo brasilero, y la decisión la ha tomado sobre un seguidismo hacia brasil

i like reading laclau's work, too. if only this had english subtitles...

[ebauer]

One of the most, if not the most, important political theorists of our time. He and his wife Chantal Mouffe publish some of the most brilliant work to come out as of recent

Gracias

I agree. Theoretically, he´s extremely rigorous and sophisticated, yet his approach can be fruitfully applied empirically to political processes. I don´t know if you agree.

[foketesz]

@ebauer He's only doing wishful thinking. He's not analyzing but proselytizing. His descriptions of past historical processes are childishly modified to suit his wanted conclusions. To be taken at face value only.

[ebauer]

@foketesz While I agree that there are difficulties with the examples Laclau uses, especially his examination of Peronism, I definitely do not thing he is proselytizing. At the theoretical level, his utilization of continental philosophy is nothing short of brilliant, with particular emphasis on his Lacanian insights.
