Professor Chantal Mouffe talked to 500 curious listeners at Ovnhallen

The 24th of April 2013 the prominent Professor Chantal Mouffe visited the CBS Public-Private Platform and the Danish left-wing think-thank Cevea for a public lecture about the left-wing's ideological and theoretical challenges from which, according to her, the center-left should throw away the center and just stay "left".

Tickets to the event at Ovnhallen were completely sold-out and after a brief welcome by Academic Director at the Public-Private Platform Paul du Gay, Mouffe took her audience through her world of politics, democracy and challenges within the left wing especially shedding light on her resistance towards the dominating rational political thinking in the western democracies.

Denmark as a country is often considered as being at the forefront when it comes to re-arrangement and political readiness to reform. Due to this new actors and institutions has occurred within being specific attached to either the public or private. New collaborations unfold between the different parts based more on consensus and compromises then political struggle. Mouffe explains these tendencies as partly causable for what currently redefines the way we understand politics, democracy and the public space in what she determine the post-political democracy.
