How can universality be reformulated now that its spurious versions have been so thoroughly criticized? In this ground-breaking project, Judith Butler, Ernesto Laclau and Slavoj Žižek engage in a dialogue on central questions of contemporary philosophy and politics. Their essays, organized as separate contributions that respond to one another, range over the Hegelian legacy in contemporary critical theory, the theoretical dilemmas of multiculturalism, the universalism-versus-particularism debate, the strategies of the Left in a globalized economy, and the relative merits of post-structuralism and Lacanian psychoanalysis for a critical social theory. While the rigor and intelligence with which these writers approach their work is formidable, \u003ci\u003eContingency, Hegemony, Universality\u003c\/i\u003e benefits additionally from their clear sense of energy and enjoyment in a revealing and often unpredictable exchange.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith Butler, Ernesto Laclau, Slavoj Zizek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1844676684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844676682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.77h x 5.24w x 1.00d","brand":"Judith Butler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989500264703,"sku":"9781844676682","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ae85474-2383-4282-b113-f6a06da553be.jpg?v=1683299866","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contingency-hegemony-universality-judith-butler-9781844676682","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
