Lo político en Ernesto Laclau. Sobredeterminación y pluralidad en la constitución de las identidades políticas

Abstract

This work tracks the way in which the notion of the political is presented in certain texts of Ernesto Laclau (“Towards a theory of populism”, Hegemony and Socialist Strategy, “New reflexions on the revolution of our time”; Emancipation(s) and On Populist reason.). The aim is to detect the signifiers with which this notion is articulated, different status that are awarded and their linkages to the binomial contingency/necessity. It seeks as well, to offer elements that enrich the political discourse theory as analytical corpus for empirical researches on the constitution of political identities.
