Laclau and Mouffe - Discourse Theory - Hegemony, Antagonism and Dislocation

In this video I present you Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory. Discourse theory questions existing knowledge regimes and power structures. It is a radical deconstruction of the neutrality of our social reality. The theory is very complex I hope you will enjoy it. Laclau and Mouffe’s main work is called ’Hegemony and Socialist Strategy’ and was published in 1985. It is mainly on this work that the content of the video is based. These are the chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:57 Discourse and Social Reality 08:15 Logic of Discourse: Equivalence and Difference 12:15 Antagonism 15:55 Hegemony 22:08 Dislocation If you want to read more, I recommend: Laclau, E., & Mouffe, C.
