Challenging conventional theories, this book presents a Lacanian perspective on populism, distinguishing it from hegemony. It argues that populism and hegemony operate on fundamentally incompatible logics, offering a fresh interpretation that redefines how populism is understood in contemporary discourse.

A Lacanian Conception of Populism takes issue with traditional theories of populism, which seek to equate populism with hegemony, arguing that these are not only different but even incompatible logics.
