Laclau is known for his long standing dialogue with Lacanian 'arch-Marxist' Slavoj iek. This dates back to at
least 1989, when Laclau wrote the introduction to ieks
rst book in English (The Sublime Object of Ideology).
iek is widely recognized as responsible for Laclaus increased acceptance of Lacanian ideas, and his essay 'Beyond Discourse Analysis,[10] which was published in Laclaus New Reections on the Revolutions of Our Time
(1990), provided a psychoanalytic critique of Laclaus
work. In 2000 Laclau, iek, and Judith Butler published the trialogue Contingency, Hegemony, Universality, in which each responded to the others works in a
three-essay cycle. Though iek and Laclau noted their
similarities and mutual respect, signicant political and
theoretical dierences emerged between all three interlocutors. Following several acrimonious publications in
the early 2000s Laclau wrote in 2005s On Populist Reason that iek had an impractical and confused approach
to politics, describing him as 'waiting for the martians.[9]
Their disagreement escalated in the pages of Critical Inquiry in 2006 where, in a spate of essays, the two argued
in an increasingly hostile manner about political action,
Marxism and class struggle, Hegel, populism, and the Lacanian Real.[11][12][12] More recently, in a 2014 interview
with David Howarth, Laclau stated that his relationship
with iek had deteriorated due to the latter adopting
a 'frantic ultra-Leftist stance, wrapped in a Leninism of
kindergarten'.[13]
