Thanks for the introduction, Andy.  The project on Laclau and Mouffe 
sounds great to me.

Well, the list should be whatever the list-members find useful.  Most 
similar lists, however, are combinations of discussion and more organized 
readings--which take time, and (in my experience) aren't amazingly 
rigorous, but provide a focus and a sense of continuity.  The moderators 
here suggested _Capital_ as a place to begin a discussion of Marxism.  But 
that project is up for grabs, and we would need some suggestion that at 
least some others on the list would be interested in following that reading.
