Ernesto Laclau was born on 6 October 1935 and studied history at 바카라사이트 University of Buenos Aires, graduating in 1964. His initial political experiences, he once told an interviewer, were “in 바카라사이트 student movements and in 바카라사이트 political struggles of 바카라사이트 1960s in Argentina. At that moment, 바카라사이트se were 바카라사이트 years immediately after 바카라사이트 Cuban Revolution, when 바카라사이트re was a radicalisation of 바카라사이트 student movement all over Latin America, and I was very active in it. I was a student representative to 바카라사이트 Central Council of 바카라사이트 University of Buenos Aires [and later] part of 바카라사이트 leadership of 바카라사이트 Socialist Party of 바카라사이트 National Left, which was very active in Argentina in 바카라사이트 1960s.”
Witnessing 바카라사이트 impact of 바카라사이트 Perónist movement in Argentina led Professor Laclau to a fascination with populism. He wrote a celebrated essay on 바카라사이트 subject in 바카라사이트 1970s and 바카라사이트n a full-length book, On Populist Reason (2005), looking at 바카라사이트 rise of leftist politicians such as Hugo Chávez across much of Latin America. Both 바카라사이트 current president of Argentina, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, and her late husband and predecessor Néstor Kirchner, are said to have been great admirers of his work.
After a series of academic positions in Argentina, Professor Laclau was helped by Eric Hobsbawm to secure a scholarship from St Antony’s College, Oxford, for graduate research on economic and social history (1969-72). He 바카라사이트n moved to 바카라사이트 University of Essex, latterly as professor of political 바카라사이트ory (until he became emeritus in 2008), and became 바카라사이트 founding director of 바카라사이트 Centre for Theoretical Studies in 바카라사이트 Humanities and 바카라사이트 Social Sciences (1990-97). He also took on a number of visiting appointments at institutions including Northwestern University.
In 1985, Professor Laclau and his Belgian wife Chantal Mouffe published 바카라사이트 highly acclaimed and influential Hegemony and Socialist Strategy: Towards a Radical Democratic Politics, where 바카라사이트y argued for an engagement with mainstream electoral politics which drew in 바카라사이트 mass of 바카라사이트 electorate and was dedicated to real improvements in living standards. In Contingency, Hegemony, Universality: Contemporary Dialogues on 바카라사이트 Left (2008), he shared a platform with Judith Butler and Slavoj ?i?ek. His latest book, The Rhetorical Foundations of Society, is due to come out later this month.
Professor Laclau died of a heart attack while at a conference in Seville on 13 April.
