The essays collected in this volume develop the theoretical
perspective initiated in Laclau and Mouffe's classic Hegemony and
Socialist Strategy, taking it in three principal directions. First,
this book explores the specificity of social antagonisms and
answers the question "What is an antagonistic relation?" - an issue
which has become increasingly crucial in our globalized world,
where the proliferation of conflicts and points of rupture is
eroding their links to the social subjects postulated by classical
social analysis. This leads Laclau to a second line of questioning:
"What is the ontological terrain that allows us to understand the
nature of social relations in our heterogeneous world?" This is a
task he addresses with theoretical instruments drawn from
analytical philosophy and from the phenomenological and
structuralist traditions. Finally, central to the argument of the
book is the basic role attributed to rhetorical tropes - metaphor,
metonymy, catachresis - in shaping the "non-foundational" grounds
of society.
