In this highly original work Ernesto Laclau continues the
philosophical and political exploration initiated in Hegemony and
Socialist Strategy. Here he focuses on the construction of popular
identities and how "the people" emerge as a collective actor.
Skillfully combining theoretical analysis with a myriad of
empirical references from numerous historical and geographical
contexts he offers a critical reading of the existing literature on
populism, demonstrating its dependency on the theorists of "mass
psychology" such as Taine and Freud. He demonstrates the relation
of populism to democracy and to the logic of representation, and
differentiates his approach from the work of Zizek, Hardt and
Negri, and Ranciere. This book is essential reading for all those
interested in the question of political identities in present-day
societies.
