Thatcher

Summary

Dominique Pagani mentions Margaret Thatcher only occasionally, always as a political reference point rather than as a subject of study. In 2012, while discussing Michel Clouscard, he lists her among those who took over the Gramscian concept of hegemony1. He also mentions a film announced about her, in connection with parity among leaders2. In 2018, he uses her to illustrate "liberismo," which he contrasts with "liberalismo"3. In 2021, in a Musicosophie session and then in "Monde d'avant, Monde d'après," he uses her as an example set against bourgeois feminism: a generation earlier, he says, she "set the tone" for it45. Finally, in 2023, he uses her as a historical point of comparison for social movements: even under Thatcher, he says, strikes did not have the global character of those of the present moment6. For him, then, she serves mainly as a reference figure for discussing economic liberalism, hegemony, and the relationship between feminism and power.
