Ernesto Laclau : el populismo y sus avatares

Abstract

This article offers a number of reflections inspired by a reading of Ernesto Laclau s works. I found particularly suggestive his reconsideration of the old topic of populism. As I understand it, Laclau has found a new way to approach not only this issue, but also politics tout court. My perspective on reading and evaluating Laclau's proposals is based on psychoanalysis, which for me constitutes the horizon of all possible social science reconstructions.
