Does Antagonism Precede Agonism in Challenging Neoliberalism? The Gezi Resistance in Turkey
Original language description
Mouffe argues that the effective way of challenging the power relations in liberal democratic capitalism is to embrace agonism, not antagonism. That is, the left should acknowledge the contingent character of the hegemonic configurations in liberal democracies, and in order to put liberty and equality into practice, it should similarly adopt hegemonic tactics. Such tactics include the disarticulation of existing practices as well as creation of new discourses and institutions. Yet, by stating that 'thetask of democracy is to transform the antagonism into agonism,' Mouffe also implies that antagonism should precede agonism and thus contradicts her very position of how to challenge the neoliberal order. Indeed, the anti-neoliberal movements that occurred in Latin American countries in 1990s as well as in New York, Greece, Spain, and elsewhere during the occupy movement in 2010s show that without the emergence of antagonism, there is no room for the development of democracy in an agonist
