Laclau Ernesto - The Rhetorical Foundations Of Society - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: The essays collected in this volume develop the theoretical perspective initiated in Laclau and Chantal Mouffe's classic Hegemony and Socialist Strategy. Central to the argument of The Rhetorical Foundations of Society is the establishment of rhetorical tropes such as metaphor metonymy and catachresis as the non - foundational grounds of society. From this basis Laclau explores the state of social relations in today's heterogeneous society. Employing analytical philosophy from both phenomenological and structuralist traditions he seeks to locate an ontological terrain for interpersonal relationships. Further he investigates the definition of social antagonism in an increasingly globalized world where the proliferation of conflicts and points of rupture erodes crucial links between the social subjects postulated by classical social analysis.
