Chantal Mouffe

Chantal Mouffe ( born 1943 in Charleroi) is a Belgian political scientist and Professor of Political Theory at the University of Westminster in London.

Mouffe has, North and Latin America, taught at numerous universities in Europe and researched. She is a member of the Collège international de philosophie in Paris. She is currently working on a non- rationalist approach in political theory and participates in research projects on the rise of right-wing populism in Europe.

Your most important work, Hegemony and Socialist Strategy. For deconstruction of Marxism, she published in 1985, together with Ernesto Laclau. Among other things, the authors develop in this work the theory of hegemony Antonio Gramsci on. Hegemony and discourse theory of Laclau and Mouffe has become a central vanishing point of poststructuralist theory and numerous empirical studies of discourse research inspired and guided. In the center of the work of Laclau and Mouffe 's interest, social structures and processes and the associated power relations is to question and to disclose in their contingency, that is, to make it clear that these are always the result of political negotiation processes and thus in principle changeable.

Your thinking according to Mouffe is attributable to the Post-Marxism.

She is a member of the board of trustees of the " Solidarity Institute modernity."
