As part of The Marx Lounge Alfredo Jaar engages speakers from the world of political theory and art to think about the ongoing significance of Marx in their work and in the world.

Chantal Mouffe is Professor of Political Theory at the University of Westminster. She authored numerous books among which are (with Ernesto Laclau) Hegemony and Socialist Strategy: Towards a Radical Democratic Politics (1985), The Return of the Political (1993), The Democratic Paradox (2000) and On the Political (2005). She is currently elaborating a non-rationalist approach to political theory, formulating an ‘agonistic’ model of democracy, and engaged in research projects on the rise of right-wing populism in Europe and the place of Europe in a multipolar world order.
