Gramsci, Antonio. Subaltern Social Groups: A Critical Edition of Prison Notebook 25. Ed. Joseph A. Buttigieg and Marcus E. Green. New York: Columbia University Press, 2021 (ISBN 978-0-231-19039-8)
Abstract: Antonio Gramsci is widely celebrated as the most original political thinker in Western Marxism. Among the most central aspects of his enduring intellectual legacy is the concept of subalternity. Developed in the work of scholars such as Gayatri Spivak and Ranajit Guha, subalternity has been extraordinarily influential across fields of inquiry stretching from cultural studies, literary theory, and postcolonial criticism to anthropology, sociology, criminology, and disability studies. Almost every author whose work touches upon subalterns alludes to Gramsci’s formulation of the concept. Yet Gramsci’s original writings on the topic have not yet appeared in full in English.Among his prison notebooks, Gramsci devoted a single notebook to the theme of subaltern social groups. Notebook 25, which he entitled “On the Margins of History (History of Subaltern Social Groups),” contains a series of observations on subaltern groups from ancient Rome and medieval communes to the period after the Italian Risorgimento, in addition to discussions of the state, intellectuals, the methodological criteria of historical analysis, and reflections on utopias and philosophical novels. This volume presents the first complete translation of Gramsci’s notes on the topic. In addition to a comprehensive translation of Notebook 25 along with Gramsci’s first draft and related notes on subaltern groups, it includes a critical apparatus that clarifies Gramsci’s history, culture, and sources and contextualizes these ideas against his earlier writings and letters. Subaltern Social Groups is an indispensable account of the development of one of the crucial concepts in twentieth-century thought.

Abstract: Starting from a critique of the core thesis in Nazih Ayubi’s Over-stating the Arab State (1995) that Arab states are “feeble” because they lack “hegemony” in the Gramscian sense, this article postulates that rule based on coercion alone is not sustainable beyond exceptional periods. It shows how Arab regimes have been deploying the whole range of hegemonic tools, including buying consent (corruption) and artificially inflating it (fraud). Whereas Ayubi expressed the view that “feebleness” was both a reason and a further cause behind the Arab regimes’ inability to implement the neoliberal restructuring of their economies, this article maintains that it is an erosion in the hegemonic aptitude of regional governments due to the socioeconomic consequences of their implementation of neoliberal recipes that set the scene for the revolutionary shockwave of the Arab Spring. The article also shows how Arab regimes have reacted to the shockwave by an intensified resort to their traditional tools combined with the Hobbesian covenant on the backdrop of regional civil wars. Yet, as recent upheavals in Sudan and Algeria show, there also are limits to this legitimation stratagem.
Antonini, Francesca. Caesarism and Bonapartism in Gramsci Hegemony and the Crisis of Modernity. Hardcover: Leiden ; Boston: Brill, 2021 (ISBN 978-90-04-32167-0) / Paperback: Chicago: Haymarket Books, 2021 (ISBN 978-1-64259-595-6).
Abstract: In Caesarism and Bonapartism in Gramsci, Francesca Antonini offers a fresh insight into Antonio Gramsci’s thought. Building on the achievements of recent Gramscian scholarship, she investigates his usage of the concepts of Bonapartism and Caesarism, both in his pre-prison writings and in the Prison Notebooks. The Caesarist-Bonapartist paradigm relates crucially to Gramsci’s reflections on hegemony and on its transformations across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. While this model is essential to Gramsci’s understanding of the interwar period and of the Fascist regime in Italy, it also sheds a meaningful light on other past and present scenarios, from the French Second Empire to the USSR of his time. Finally, Antonini’s analysis illuminates Gramsci’s approach towards the Marxian legacy.
Bianchi, Alvaro. Gramsci’s Laboratory: Philosophy, History and Politics. Trans. Sean Purdy. Chicago (Ill.): Haymarket Books, 2021 (ISBN 978-1-64259-421-8)
Abstract: Gramsci’s Laboratory provides a new reading of the relationship between philosophy and politics through an analysis of Gramsci’s famous Prison Notebooks. A milestone in the ever-evolving international reception of Gramsci, the volume argues that in order to understand the Gramscian unity of theory and practice, we must first appreciate the unity in his writings of philosophy, history, and politics. Bianchi argues that this unity was developed in the writing of the Prison Notebooks, written during Gramsci’s incarceration and thereby ‘determined in the last instance’ by politics. Reading Gramsci’s work through this lens, Bianchi argues that history and philosophy are constitutive elements of the political field.

Abstract: This article examines some of the first translations of Gramsci into Arabic by young, New Left figures associated with a short-lived group called “Socialist Lebanon.” Thinking à la Edward Said about the undertaking of translations of ideas from one context to another and one language to another as a potentially productive act of beginning, I argue that these first translations, undertaken as part of a revolutionary praxis of young, militant intellectuals, not only reveal some of the limitations and possibilities in the development of a Gramscian analysis of Lebanese politics. Rather, their efforts were central to the formation of a New Arab Left and the strands of those beginnings not only are detected in the later work of several of these activist-translators, even after they had moved beyond militant politics, but also remain visible in later revolutionary praxis in the region. By foregrounding the way in which each subsequent “Gramsci boom” (in the 1990s and after 2010) exists in relationship to an ongoing revolutionary praxis that reads and translates the Arab Left anew, I also seek to provide evidence of what Michele Filippini refers to in this issue as an “Arab provincialization” of Gramscian thought and what I prefer to highlight as a continuous tradition of Arab Left revolutionary praxis.
Carley, Robert. Gramscian Critical Pedagogy. New York: Dio Press Inc, 2021 (ISBN 978-1-64504-153-5)
Abstract: Gramscian Critical Pedagogy positions Antonio Gramsci’s thought both in and outside of the institutional context of education. This book connects Gramsci to various pedagogies: critical, activist, and political-party based by exploring the various organizational contexts: anarchist, syndicalist, socialist, and communist that inform Gramsci’s expansive experiences with pedagogy. Gramscian Critical Pedagogydoes not assume but explores the many ways that Gramsci’s thought speaks to the social and institutional limitations in capitalism. Finally, this book offers a methodology to embed students in the political project of critical pedagogy so that they may, when they leave the classroom, orient themselves in the world through collective action. Rather than teach a social justice orientation Gramscian Critical Pedagogyoffers a rudimentary framework to instill in the conscious lives of a generation the necessity of the struggle against a hegemony that supports or normalizes economic exploitation, sexism, homo- and Trans-phobia, and racism.
Carley, Robert F. Cultural Studies Methodology and Political Strategy : Metaconjuncture. Palgrave Macmillan, 2021. doi:10.1007/978-3-030-73212-7 (ISBN 978-3-030-73211-0)
Abstract: This book is an intervention into cultural studies’ theoretical and methodological foundations. It addresses a crisis in conjunctural analysis: that there is no theorized method for conjunctural analysis as it pertains to recognizing a conjunctural shift or the emergence of an organic crisis. This crisis is connected to the belief that the definition of the conjuncture is ambiguous in Gramsci’s work, but using a broader range of primary, secondary, and also untranslated sources on the conjuncture, Carley demonstrates that Gramsci has decisively settled that ambiguity. Through a philological approach to Gramsci’s original texts, this book alters the debate around conjunctural analysis and offers means to reinterpret cultural studies and its relationship to its founding thinkers.
Caterina, Daniela. “Gramsci in China: Past, Present, and Future of a Still Open Encounter.” Antipode 53.5 (2021): 1357–1376. doi:10.1111/anti.12731
Abstract: Assessments of the nature and trajectory of China’s political economy polarise into a highly controversial debate. The present paper aims to introduce Antonio Gramsci as a powerful ally in making sense of the specificities of the Chinese case by shedding light on the past, present, and future of the Gramsci-China encounter. Starting from an in-depth assessment of the reception of Gramsci’s textual legacy in Mainland China and of the main related problems, the paper promotes a philologically sound, diachronic approach to the potential of a Gramscian perspective in analysing China’s peculiar trajectory, such as the ability to focus on: (1) the constructed nature of Chinese hegemony; (2) the terrain of China’s integral state; (3) adopted strategies of passive revolution; (4) the materiality of Chinese hegemony; (5) its processual and contested nature across different times and scales; as well as (6) key links between intellectuals and the production of common sense.

Abstract: Explanations for the weakness and failure of the uprisings in the Arab world of 2011 range from the hard-power and structure-centred accounts of conventional political science to interactionist studies emphasizing micro-dynamics and relational mechanisms. Drawing on Gramscian perspectives, and fieldwork in Egypt, this article aims to open up an occluded line of investigation into the subaltern cultural politics of the uprising in Egypt as a way to make sense of revolutionary weaknesses and limits. While critical researchers have studied the political economy of the revolutionary process and the counter-revolution, considered activist organizational and strategic deficits, and studied the limits on the political vision of middle-class revolutionaries, less attention has been paid to subaltern cultural politics. This article argues that the study of popular good sense against the regime and common sense supporting the army can help explain revolutionary weakness in Egypt during 2011–13.

Abstract: This article sets out a Gramscian perspective on revolutionary weakness in the MENA. It aims not at a top-down analysis of how activists were crushed, but at a bottom-up analysis evaluating activist activity. Drawing on a reading of Gramsci, fieldwork in Egypt, and recent research on MENA protest, it adopts a Gramscian concept of transformative activity and applies it to the MENA since 2011. It argues that the basic elements of transformative activity in Gramsci include subaltern social groups, conceptions of the world, collective will, organisation, strategy/tactics, and historical bloc. It argues that transformative activity involves the organic articulation of these distinct moments in a complex, differentiated unity. On the basis of this view, the article shows how sense can be made of revolutionary weakness in the MENA since 2011 through a critical analysis of problems in the organic articulation of revolutionary mobilisation.

Cingari, Salvatore. “The term ‘populism’ in Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks.” International Gramsci Journal 4.2 (2021). doi:10.14276/igj.v4i2.4107
Abstract: The article opens by underlining that Laclau’s juxtaposition of Gramsci and populism is in part analogous to the operation carried out some decades ago by Alberto Asor Rosa and Rosario Romeo, although their evaluation was contrary to that of Laclau. We then attempt to demonstrate the limits of these interpretations, through a reconstruction of the national-popular theme in Gramsci: the correct interpretation of this category goes back not to the romantic imaginary of the Volkstum but to a development linked to the most enlightened circles of Russian culture. The national-popular thus alludes to a historically and nationally determined dimension, albeit one capable of universalization. This is confirmation of the non-“populist” nature of Gramsci’s argument. In his view, folklore has to be not idealized, but studied seriously, with the aim of superseding it in a paradigm that fuses together spontaneity and leadership, popular and high culture. As corroboration of this thesis we look at the ways in which the word “populism” is actually used in the Notebooks. The conclusion is that Gramsci, following Lenin’s example, referred “populism” to politico-cultural and literary phenomenologies unable to emancipate the people while, at the same time, he argued that it was necessary to understand and develop in a truly democratic perspective the social needs that populism expresses. This thesis is of great current relevance for those who believe that the social necessities lying behind the current “populist moment” must be understood in order to develop a higher “popular” perspective.
Colpani, Gianmaria. “Two Theories of Hegemony: Stuart Hall and Ernesto Laclau in Conversation.” Political Theory (2021): 00905917211019392. doi:10.1177/00905917211019392
Abstract: This essay stages a critical conversation between Stuart Hall and Ernesto Laclau, comparing their different appropriations of Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony. In the 1980s, Hall and Laclau engaged with Gramsci and with one another in order to conceptualize what they regarded as a triangular relation between the rise of Thatcherism, the crisis of the Left, and the emergence of new social movements. While many of their readers emphasize the undeniable similarities and mutual influences that exist between Hall and Laclau, this essay focuses on the differences between their theories of hegemony and locates the starkest contrast between them at the level of theoretical practice. While the main lesson that Hall drew from Gramsci was the privileging of conjunctural analysis, Laclau proceeded to locate the concept of hegemony at a higher level of abstraction, developing a political ontology increasingly indifferent to any specific conjuncture. The essay argues that this difference between conjunctural analysis and political ontology has a significant impact on Hall’s and Laclau’s respective understandings of two key political formations: populism and identity politics. Thus by focusing on these two formations, the essay argues that Hall’s work should not be read as a derivative or even undertheorized version of Laclau’s, for this tendency obscures substantial differences between their interventions as well as the fact that Hall’s theory of hegemony, as a theory of the conjuncture, ultimately possesses stronger explanatory power than Laclau’s political ontology.
Croeser, Eve. Ecosocialism and Climate Justice: An Ecological Neo-Gramscian Analysis. Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY: Routledge, 2021 (ISBN 978-0-367-89453-5)
Abstract: This book investigates the broader climate movement to contextualise the role played by its climate justice wing, focusing specifically on the theoretical and practical contributions of ecosocialists. Ecosocialism and Climate Justice provides an account of the shift from the Holocene to the Anthropocene in the context of the global spread of capitalist relations of production. Croeser begins by critically analysing the root causes of anthropogenic climate change and identifies the origins and development of the current climate movement within civil society. She then focuses on the climate justice movement, analysing the ways in which anthropogenic global warming may be challenged in a way that is socially just. Overall, this book provides further insight into the effectiveness of ecosocialist theory and activism in the context of existing global, national and local power relationships. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate justice, climate politics, critical global political economy studies and environmental activism.
Dal Maso, Juan. Hegemony and Class Struggle: Trotsky, Gramsci and Marxism. Palgrave Macmillan, 2021 (ISBN 978-3-030-75687-1)
Abstract: Leon Trotsky and Antonio Gramsci are two of the most important Marxist thinkers of the 20th century. This book explores the similarities and the differences between their philosophical and political theories. The first and second chapters deal with a still under-investigated aspect of Trotsky’s thought, i.e. his reflections on the issue of hegemony. The third chapter focuses on Gramsci’s critique of Trotsky in his Prison Notebooks, analysing Gramsci’s knowledge of Trotsky’s positions as well as the scope and limits of Gramsci’s critique. The fourth chapter consists of a critical rereading of Perry Anderson’s essay Antinomies of Antonio Gramsci, originally published in 1976 and republished in 2017 and an analysis of the book Gramsci and Trotsky in the Shadow of Stalinism by Emanuele Saccarelli. The result is an investigation that offers new insight into both Trotsky’s and Gramsci’s thought, while proposing a new point of view from which to interpret revolutionary theory and strategy in the contemporary scenario. One of the main topics addressed throughout the three essays is the specific position of the problem of hegemony in a theory of permanent revolution, demonstrating that Trotsky had a particular understanding of the question of hegemony and that Gramsci, in turn, introduced a concept of hegemony that is closely associated with an idea of permanent revolution, such that the dynamics of the relationship between democratic struggles and socialist struggles presented in both theories are very similar.

De Smet, Brecht. “‘Authoritarian resilience’ as passive revolution: a Gramscian interpretation of counter-revolution in Egypt.” The Journal of North African Studies 26.6 (2021): 1077–1098. doi:10.1080/13629387.2020.1801266
Abstract: After a renewed scholarly interest in the politics of revolution and societal transformation following the uprisings of 2011, the defeat of the revolutionary tide in the MENA region has drawn attention to the dynamic of counter-revolution and authoritarian resilience. I criticise binary approaches to the process of regime restoration in the region. I argue that ‘authoritarian resilience’ should be interpreted in terms of Gramsci’s concept of ‘passive revolution’. I explain that this concept should be used not as a regime typology, but as an analytical ‘criterion of interpretation’, revealing the capacities and constraints of elites to deflect popular initiative and restructure historical blocs from above. Through the prism of passive revolution ‘the regime’ appears not as the constant factor, but as one of the forces that constitutes and is constituted by revolutionary struggle. I look concretely at the process of revolution and counter-revolution in Egypt between 2011 and 2013, disentangling the 18 Days of the uprising from the subsequent ‘counter-revolution in democratic form’ and the coda of the military-led ‘counter-revolution from below’.
Denning, Michael. “Everyone a Legislator.” New Left Review129 (2021): 29–44.
Abstract: What is the principal legacy today of Gramsci’s writing on politics? Often taken to be a theory of the party as a ‘modern prince’ derived from Machiavelli, can this still be so in an epoch when political parties are everywhere in decline? Michael Denning argues that what now matters in Gramsci’s work is his theory of organizing as a premonitory form of democratic legislation.

Abstract: Current reflections on practices of opposition are informed by the resistance/hegemony paradigm. The shortcomings of the resistance/hegemony paradigm are, as many critics have pointed, both a result of the wide extension and romanticization of resistance, and the mis-construal of hegemony as a top/down process of manipulating consciousness. The present article proposes to address some of the limitations of the resistance/hegemony paradigm by pondering when practices of resistance may be considered part of a counter-hegemonic struggle. To answer this question, it presents a typology of the different forms of resistance according to their relationship with counter-hegemony. This typology is based on the degree to which certain practices are incorporated or tolerated by the hegemonic model; how they articulate between challenges at the symbolic level and challenges to the production and distribution of material resources; and whether there is a process of articulation at play among different practices that may create a collective subject capable of putting forward claims to achieve political power.

Abstract: Since 2000, Gramscian concepts have been undergoing an unprecedented process of dissemination, and this process has occurred along two specific axes: The geographic axis and the disciplinary axis. This process, which is also a hybridization resulting in political innovation, often has been interpreted in terms of fidelity/infidelity to Gramsci’s ideas, and as a result has been interpreted as somewhat of a degenerative process. In contrast, my analysis focuses on the transit of Gramscian theory, that is, on what ideas transit, on how they transit, and why they transit rather than starting with a presupposed ‘original’ theory or the arrival points of ‘corrupted’ or ‘translated’ theory. By looking beyond an essentialist notion of his theory, this inquiry into Gramscian concepts ends up discussing the problems of contemporary history and politics rather than simply the revival of interest in a Sardinian Marxist.
Finelli, Roberto. “Marx, Spinoza and the New Technologies.” International Gramsci Journal 4.2 (2021). doi:10.14276/igj.v4i2.4106
Abstract: The purpose of this essay is to investigate the nature of the ideology that is developing from new information technologies. The basic thesis is that there is a confusion between the accumulation and mathematical processing of “information” on the one hand and “knowledge” on the other. While knowledge, it is argued, is always based on the world of life, as a set of problems that arise from the materialistic, biological, emotional reproduction of a living human body, information represents the most abstract and formal version of it, which can be accumulated and calculated, but whose true meaning always depends on the meaning and reproductive intention of an organic-human life. Those who think of information as knowledge without a foundation in a materialistic and non-linguistic sense, fall into the ideology of conceiving the world as a massive information process and, consequently, of conceiving the human mind as a calculating machinic structure similar to the way a computer works. In this perspective, the essay, taking up the fundamental intuitions expressed by Gramsci in Americanism and Fordism, analyzes the origin of the term “Technology” in Marx’s Capital, its distinction of meaning from the term “Technique” and the likely influence exercised in this field on the Marx’s thought from German Technologie, as a fundamental teaching discipline of the 18th century German Cameralism.
Gervasio, Gennaro, and Patrizia and Manduchi. “Introduction: reading the revolutionary process in North Africa with Gramsci.” The Journal of North African Studies 26.6 (2021): 1051–1056. doi:10.1080/13629387.2020.1801264
Abstract: This special section is based on part of the papers presented at the ‘Gramsci in the Arab World’ conference, held at the Università degli studi di Bari (Italy), in late 2017. Academic writings of Arab societies have been scarce and fragmented until the 1990s, when with the crisis of the Arab State and the end of the Cold War, Gramsci became one of the most cited European thinkers in the Arab region. Eventually, the ‘Gramscian moment’ in the MENA had a sudden ‘explosion’ at the time of the Arab Uprisings. Indeed, from 2011 onwards Arab and non Arab scholars have increasingly resorted to Gramsci’s analytical categories to read the ongoing revolutionary events. The rationale of this special section is to contribute to this debate, with a special focus on Egypt and Tunisia. Contextualized by an historical introductory article, the special section is composed of five contributions, analyzing the pre and post-2011 situation in Egypt and Tunisia, through a Gramscian lens.

Abstract: Some Gramscian concepts proved to be relevant for a better and a worthwhile understanding of the current changes and of the political and social upheavals in Tunisia since winter 2010/2011. In particular, I will approach the ongoing political crisis as a crisis of hegemony. By emphasising the social and economic content in the hegemony of the Tunisian state, the article will focus on its construction during the Habib Bourguiba era, by showing how elites emerged after the independence, through their alliance with the workers’ union (UGTT), won the people’s support by working on two main issues: first, economic growth, second, social recovery thus fairly benefited different social classes, according to meritocracy. I will then look at how President Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali tried to apply the same ‘hegemony formula’ and how despite his agreement with the trade unions, he nevertheless lost that hegemony due to two major evolutions during the 2000s: the transformation of Tunisian capitalism into a crony capitalism and the end of meritocracy. Eventually, the article will show that the current political and socio-economic crisis can be read as the consequence of the crisis of hegemony, since old and new elites have not yet succeeded in providing answers to the main social and economic questions raised by the 2011 Revolution.
Gómez López-Quiñones, Antonio. “The Gramscian Moment of the Spanish Crisis.” boundary 2 48.3 (2021): 55–86. doi:10.1215/01903659-9155732
Abstract: One of the surprising outcomes of the 2008 economic crisis in Spain has been the emergence of Antonio Gramsci as a fashionable figure. This “all-purpose Gramsci” forces us to regain some historical perspective on the Spanish reception of his ideas. In the 1970s, different clans within the camp opposing Franco’s regime came up with their own self-serving—liberal, Leninist, autonomist, Eurocommunist—versions of Gramsci. The theoretical discussion about these uses and abuses of Gramsci gravitated around the Italian communist’s idealist epistemology and the role of “ideology” and “culture” within it. Since 2008, we find two different approaches to this same Gramscian issue: one that peddles a political theory of discursive rearrangement of a semi-emptied and adjustable social landscape; and a second one that embraces a movementist, horizontal, and anti-state organizational work on the ground. The political efficiency of these two approaches is significantly impaired by the lack of a sober historical explanation of why the rapprochement with Gramsci only during times of economic turmoil and political rupture is highly paradoxical.

Abstract: This article presents the results of a descriptive case study of the Union School of the Chilean nongovernmental organization (NGO) Alejandro Lipschutz Institute of Science (ICAL-Spanish acronym). The study contributes to the field of adult education by providing a contemporary example of what Gramscian pedagogy can look like. Theoretically, this case contributes Latin American social movement-based analysis of neoliberalism, and its impact on the nature of work for working-class people. The study presents an example of educational praxis; the dialectical relationship between theory and educational practice that emerges from ICAL’s efforts to advance the Chilean union movement’s struggle to challenge neoliberalism through educational and leadership development work.

Abstract: Kant and the Enlightenment 1500 to 1800 is an interesting read even for philosophical nonprofessionals because ... - the philosophy of the Enlightenment is presented in comprehensible language and embedded in the 300-year struggle for the liberation of the bourgeoisie against feudalism, - the importance of reason in our knowledge, in the sciences, and in the democratic republic is elaborated based on Kant’s writings, - in times of threat with Kant’s philosophy a reassurance can be made regarding the foundations of the democratic republic and the worldwide spread of this form of government since the First French Republic, - Kant’s “categorical imperative” must be reinterpreted as a fundamental political norm of the democratic republic, if his ethics is understood as a “German theory of the French Revolution” (Marx), - countering the postmodern discrediting of the philosophy of history by placing the current struggle for the democratic republic in the context of Kant’s goal of history, which called for a democratically organized and federally unified humanity on the grounds of reason.
Liguori, Guido. “Common Sense / Senso comune: Gramsci Dictionary.” International Gramsci Journal 4.2 (2021). doi:10.14276/igj.v4i2.4111
Abstract: This is an abstract of the entry on “Common sense” (translated into English) published in the Dizionario gramsciano (Gramsci Dictionary). There exist more than one “common senses” distinguishable by area, social stratum and period, continually enriched with scientific notions, and standing in-between folklore and the philosophy of the scholars. It is a “disorderly aggregate of philosophical conceptions” in which “whatever one likes” may be found. It must be subjected to critique, since it is often connotated by the various forms of conservatism. It is a social group’s most wide-spread and often implicit ideology, and dialectically related to philosophy, meaning that a social group that aligns itself with the subalterns must enter into a dialectical relation with common sense in a mutually transformative way. Differently from Bukharin’s approach, the critique of common sense, Gramsci states, must be one of the starting points for a compendium of Marxism: forcing the introduction of new truths into common sense is proof of its capacity for expansion. At stake is the transformation of the subalterns’ conception of the world, by and through launching a struggle for hegemony involving a new common sense, culture and philosophy which, together, form a mass ideology which rendering politically possible the intellectual progress of the mass.

Philology, the “methodological expression of the importance of particular facts”, underlies Gramsci’s writings in the Notebooks and lies at the centre of various reflections; it is indispensable for reconstructing an author’s thought and, indeed, the past. Gramsci drew inspiration for his own antipositivist approach, con-trasted to that of Bukharin, in part from Ernst Bernheim’s outline of historical method . Reading a text or situation, and knowing how not to read too much into it (a refusal to “importune” [sollecitare] the text), is essential to objective, dispassionate understanding. In these terms the interpretation of the present is “living philology”, where “human nature is the totality of historically determined social relations”. This “philology of history and politics” form part of Gramsci’s critique of determinist Marxism. Through the interpretation of a situation by a “collective organism”, i.e. through “living philology”, the essential link is formed “between great mass, party and leading group” in order to “move together as ‘collective-man’”.

Abstract: From a long-term perspective, a Gramscian analytical approach can help us have a better reading of revolutionary processes in MENA countries, expecially if we consider them as the apical moment of a political crisis, originating in the mid-1970s. The most useful Gramscian concepts for this kind of analysis are ‘hegemony’ and ‘civil society’, obviously connected with other categories such as ‘organic/traditional intellectual’ or ‘revolution/passive revolution’, or even ‘modern prince’. Egypt and Tunisia, for their importance in the context of the so called ‘Arab Spring’ but also because they are the first Arab countries in which Gramsci’s knowledge has spread at the beginning of the 1970s, offer very interesting case studies. By comparing by a Gramscian approach some Arab reflections in the 1970s and the ones interpreting 2011 upheavals and their complex and often dramatic consequences, it is possible to demonstrate how a Gramscian analysis can be useful in this ongoing, not yet concluded debate.
Marchi, Alessandra. “Molecular Transformations: Reading the Arab Uprisings with and beyond Gramsci.” Middle East Critique 30.1 (2021): 67–85. doi:10.1080/19436149.2021.1872862
Abstract: The increasing interest in Antonio Gramsci’s thought constitutes an important source of inspiration in the study of the Middle East and North Africa, particularly in the post-2011 Arab uprisings period. The popularity of the Italian Marxist thinker is to be found in the original applications and uses of Gramscian categories, which have given rise to a growing secondary literature, especially outside Italy and Europe, beyond Gramsci’s immediate background and beyond the context of his own historical and political analysis. The revolutionary moment of 2011, the crisis of hegemony, and thus the crisis of ‘the State as a whole’ (stato integrale), is present in different ways in Arab countries, where many groups within civil society live, work, compete and protest tirelessly. This article draws attention to the less explored Gramscian concept of the “molecular” and argues for the importance of reading molecular, even fragmented, ways to resist the manufacturing of consent and the dominant hegemony during revolutionary moments, such as the pre- and post-2011 periods. The concept of the ‘molecular’ (molecolare) is fundamental to shedding light on the potentially transformative implications of everyday contentious actions and helps us to scrutinise what kind of hegemony is possible in Arab-Mediterranean countries today. Furthermore, Gramsci enables us to confront multiple, singular experiences of ‘others’ – which already are shaping contemporary history in different world regions while being intertwined with global history. This article shows how the theoretical, methodological and political potential of Gramscian interpretations is vital to – and can be enriched and renewed by – a promising, ongoing interdisciplinary dialogue.

Abstract: Critical Pedagogy Under Siege in Palestine looks at formal and non-formal education in Palestine through the theoretical lens of critical pedagogy, viewing education and social and political struggles as interconnected issues. While the core focus of the book is Palestine the authors also refer to other localities where issues of decolonization and segregation exist such as Kosovo, Kurdish populated zones of Turkey, Iraq and Cyprus, drawing conclusions and comparisons about education in conflict areas. The authors use ideas from a range of theorists including Paulo Freire, Nadira Shalhoub-Kerkovian, Ibrahim Abu Loghod, Nahla Abdo and Edward Said, and draw on case studies to ground the theoretical discussion. The case studies include accounts of the struggle against the building of an Israeli apartheid wall in Battir village in Bethlehem, and radical theatre shows as sites of transformative education in Palestine.

Abstract: My paper focuses on Gramsci’s discussions of the Southern Question to derive insights for an understanding of some current dynamics in politics and culture in the Mediterranean region and to explore appropriate educational strategies in this context. I start by providing some general considerations regarding different conceptions of the Mediterranean that is viewed in the context of a broader conception of the South. Drawing on Gramsci’s own reflections, I attempt to avoid romanticising the Mediterranean and the South in general, and to capture some sense of the region’s complexity. I give important consideration, in this context, to the issue of dominant belief systems, referring, in the process, to Gramsci’s own views on religion. This leads to questions concerning ethnicity and religious beliefs in Southern Europe, the geographical area that constituted the focus of Gramsci’s attention. The paper foregrounds one of the major challenges for social solidarity facing people of this region, namely the challenge posed by massive migration from the South to the North in the context of the intensification of globalisation. I take up the Gramscian theme of regional solidarity, for a revolutionary socialist politics based on knowledge and understanding, and the related themes of misplaced alliances and internal colonialism. The paper draws on Gramsci’s discussion on North-South solidarity (proletariat and peasantry), in the context of a nation state, to explore possibilities for a broader and trans-national form of North-South solidarity, rooted in political economy and an understanding of colonialism, connected with the issues of migration and inter-ethnic solidarity. Educational strategies, for this purpose, are identified.

Mayo, Peter. “The Turn to Gramsci in Critical Studies in Education in North America.” International Gramsci Journal 4.2 (2021). doi:10.14276/igj.v4i2.4108
Abstract: This article explores the impact of Gramsci’s writings (in particular pedagogy as a hegemonic relation) on Critical Studies in Education (CSE) in North America. CSE focuses among other things on education for social justice and ecological questions. It refuses the separation of culture from power relations, and attempts to reconstruct knowledge to serve social needs through its insertion in the interstices of social reproduction, schools included. Indeed the classroom is one site for a war of position. But the school – and the university – are not the only institutions of and for education, which takes place as a lifelong process during which subaltern groups can use their critical learning capacities within and outside dominant class-based forms of knowledge. This locates the intellectuals produced by the subaltern groups in a two-way relationship with teachers, considered in their position as organic and potentially transformative intellectuals: in short there is a pedagogical relation that characterizes every form of hegemony and which here can form part of an alternative hegemony to that of the dominant classes. And in establishing an alternative hegemony, taking Freire and Gramsci each in their own way as reference points, one has to move from popular experience to then go on to movements or parties and the wider social context.
Merone, Fabio. “Analysing revolutionary Islamism: Ansar al-Sharia Tunisia according to Gramsci.” The Journal of North African Studies 26.6 (2021): 1122–1143. doi:10.1080/13629387.2020.1801268
Abstract: This article offers a reading of Ansar al-Sharia Tunisia, a radical Salafist movement active in Tunisia between 2011 and 2013, as a revolutionary Islamist movement. Although referring to different theological sources, such radical movements end up reproducing the same model of radical Islamist politics traditionally associated to the Muslim Brotherhood (MB)-inspired movements. The article draws on a Gramscian Islamist framework of revolutionary politics first employed in Thomas Bukto’s 2004 article ‘Revelation or revolution: a Gramscian approach to the rise of Political Islam’. The objective of using such an analytical frame is to comprehend the revolutionary logic of radical Islamism. Although the Islamist/Salafi discourse is rooted in religious language and ideology, this article argues that it is no less revolutionary-minded, in the modern sense of the term, than the one of non-Islamist radical movements. Islamism is in fact able to provide the alternative worldview (ideology) necessary for revolutionary movements to oppose the dominant structure of power.
Mirshak, Nadim. “The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt: A Gramscian re-examination.” Current Sociology (2021): 00113921211039273. doi:10.1177/00113921211039273
Abstract: Regarded as Egypt’s most influential oppositional force, the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) was analysed from a Gramscian lens that projected it as a counterhegemonic force par excellence. Its all-sufficient Islam, cohesive organisational structure and ability to wage a war of position were considered to represent parallels to Gramsci’s revolutionary methodology. This article contests this narrative by focusing on the MB’s inability to deal with state coercion, its intellectual inertia and failure in governance, and its passive revolutionary and neoliberal tendencies. Against the backdrop of resurgent authoritarianism and the MB’s downfall, it has become imperative to rethink our dominant understandings of (counter)hegemony and resistance. The article concludes by arguing that the MB’s failure to fundamentally challenge the hegemonic order and instigate social change should not deter other movements from continuing to do so. Instead, lessons from the MB’s limitations must be heeded with Gramsci remaining key in aiding such endeavours.
Montalbano, Giuseppe. “Gramsci in Amsterdam: a critique and re-appraisal of the Neo-Gramscian transnationalism.” Globalizations 0.0 (2021): 1–15. doi:10.1080/14747731.2021.1889770
Abstract: The so-called Amsterdam School has been a pioneer in developing a theoretical framework for the transnational class dimension of the hegemonic world orders based on Gramscian core concepts and motives. Surprisingly, however, a dedicated analysis and assessment of the use of Gramsci’s key concepts by the School of Amsterdam still lack in the available literature, including the most recent comprehensive reviews. This contribution thus aims at adding a missing piece in the mosaic of the Neo-Gramscian approaches. As it is maintained here, a lacking conceptualization of the relationships between political power and transnational class agency constitutes the main shortfall in the Amsterdam School’s approach. A critical engagement with the Prison Notebooks’ hegemonic theory is thus needed to recast the Neo-Gramscian conceptualization of the transnational and to overcome the dichotomy between the globalization and inter-State approaches, by resolving the main theoretical flaws of the Amsterdam School theorization.
Mustè, Marcello. Marxism and Philosophy of Praxis: An Italian Perspective from Labriola to Gramsci. Marx, Engels, and Marxisms. Palgrave Macmillan, 2021. https://www.palgrave.com/us/book/9783030725587 (April 6, 2021) (ISBN 978-3-030-72558-7)
Abstract: This book will offer a full reconstruction of the history of Theoretical Marxism in Italy between 1895 and 1935, based on a rigorous philological method. The starting term (1895) is marked by the publication of Antonio Labriola’s first essay on historical materialism (In memory of Communist Manifesto); the final term coincides with the conclusion of the “Prison Notebooks” written by Antonio Gramsci. This book analyses the original character of the Marxist philosophy in Italy, which emerged by distinguishing itself from the “orthodoxy” of the Second and Third International. By delineating a significant chapter in the history of Marxism, the book will also propose a specific contribution to the history of Italian Philosophy, which is here studied in relation to the developments of European philosophy, beyond the traditional subdivisions of Positivism, Idealism and Marxism.

Abstract: The aim of this chapter is to investigate Antonio Gramsci’s interest in the so-called “Jewish question”, and more specifically to explore whether the founder of what would become the biggest Communist Party in the West, had reflected on the topic beyond the epistolary comments he exchanged with Tatiana Schucht and Pietro Sraffa.
Ramaioli, Massimo. “The Making of a Minority: Subalternity and Minoritisation of Jordanian Salafism.” In Minorities and State-Building in the Middle East: The Case of Jordan. Ed. Paolo Maggiolini and Idir Ouahes, 201–222. Minorities in West Asia and North Africa. Cham: Springer International Publishing, 2021. doi:10.1007/978-3-030-54399-0_9 (ISBN 978-3-030-54399-0)
Abstract: This chapter describes the process whereby the Jordanian regime has endeavoured to make the local Salafi movement into a politico-religious minority. It does so by making reference to the Gramscian concept of subalternity. The concept of subalternity allows to elaborate upon the relational, dynamic and constructed nature of a minority status. Salafism is a particularly rigid and dogmatic approach to Sunni Islam, whose adherents, while it is hard to establish their exact numbers, represent a numerical minority in the kingdom. However, their activism, proselytism and regional ties make them an important social actor. The regime intends therefore to relegate this trend, in its various manifestations, in a position of political and ideological marginality above and beyond their sheer numbers. In addressing different manifestations of Salafism, the Jordanian regime has deployed a combination of tactics to achieve this goal: the construction of an officially sanctioned discourse about Islam; a bureaucratic management of Salafism; and last, its outright repression. The chapter finally contends that, in line with Gramscian theory (in particular the concept of ‘double-siege’), the current success of the regime may not be considered permanent, especially when considering the vitality and reach of Salafism as a sociocultural phenomenon.
Rosset, Eva. The notion of subaltern classes in the thought of Antonio Gramsci. Our Knowledge Publishing, 2021 (ISBN 978-620-4-09309-3)
Abstract: The notion of “subaltern classes” is one of the notions on which Antonio Gramsci reflects in his Prison Notebooks, a collection of notes he wrote during his years in captivity between June 1929 and 1935. Our work aims at reconstructing what the notion of “subaltern” is, what its meaning is and what its stakes are for Gramsci. It is a question of discerning its place in the economy of the Notebooks, its overall importance within a project of almost seven years, but also its relationship with the other concepts present in the notes. First of all, it seems to us that the concept that Gramsci arrives at in Notebook 25 is that of “subaltern classes” or “subaltern groups”. For this reason, we will speak of “subaltern classes” and not of the “subaltern” in relation to Gramsci’s notion.
Safieddine, Hicham. “Mahdi Amel: On Colonialism, Sectarianism and Hegemony.” Middle East Critique 30.1 (2021): 41–56. doi:10.1080/19436149.2021.1876397
Abstract: This article explores how the Arab Marxist, Mahdi Amel (1936–1987), conceptualized hegemony in a colonial and sectarian context. I explore Amel’s articulation of ideology as class struggle in relation to Gramsci and other leftist intellectuals of his generation. My aim is to expand our understanding of how hegemony is transformed when it travels into anti-colonial, Arab Marxist thought in general and its Lebanese communist variant in particular. The first part of the article looks at Amel’s articulation of Arab bourgeois hegemony under colonialism and its manifestation in political rather than civil society. The second part details Amel’s theorization of sectarian bourgeois hegemony in Lebanon. In Amel’s thought, the relationship between class, sect and state, which I explore, gave rise to a chronic and sectarian hegemonic crisis that has haunted the Lebanese bourgeoisie from the time of independence until the present.
Sotiris, Panagiotis. “Gramsci and Althusser Encountering Machiavelli: Hegemony and/as New Practice of Politics.” Jus Cogens 3.2 (2021): 119–139. doi:10.1007/s42439-020-00030-1
Abstract: Antonio Gramsci and Louis Althusser encountered Machiavelli’s work and they both attempted to rethink the very possibility of political practice through their respective readings of the Florentine thinker. In a certain way for both Gramsci and Althusser, the reading of Machiavelli was the experimental site where they elaborated their own conceptions of politics, either in the form of Gramsci’s quest for the ‘modern Prince’, the political and organizational form of a potential hegemony of the subaltern, or in the form of Althusser’s constant redefinition of a potential new practice of politics in a communist perspective. The reading of Machiavelli was for Althusser also one of the terrains upon which he attempted to confront Gramsci, something that is particularly evident in a series of Althusser’s texts in the 1970s from Machiavelli and Us to the recently published Que faire? The aim of this article is to do a comparative reading of the approaches to Machiavelli offered by Gramsci and Althusser, focusing in particular on the tensions running through Althusser’s reading of Gramsci’s writings on Machiavelli. In particular, I will offer a reading of Althusser’s extensive criticism of Gramsci in 1977–1978, linking it to his critique of Eurocommunism. Then, I will go back to Gramsci, and in particular Notebook 13, in order to bring forward not only the aspects of Gramsci that Althusser tended to overlook but also how Gramsci is in fact thinking the very question that Althusser attempted to pose, namely that of a new practice of politics for communism.
Vacca, Giuseppe. Alternative modernities: Antonio Gramsci’s twentieth century. Trans. Derek Boothman and Chris Dennis. Cham, Switzerland: Palgrave, 2021 (ISBN 978-3-030-47670-0).
Abstract: Antonio Gramsci lived the Great War as a “historic break,” a profound experience that left an indelible mark on the development of his political thought. Translated into English for the first time, Alternative Modernities reconstructs and analyses this critical period of Gramsci’s intellectual formation through a systematic analysis of his writings from 1915 to 1935. For Gramsci, Soviet Communism, “Americanism,” and the “new” Fascist State were the principle responses to the crisis of the old world order. He portrayed them as the three protagonists of twentieth-century modernity, alternatives destined to tragically clash in the worldwide struggle for hegemony. Among the arguments in his Prison Notebooks, Gramsci casts doubt on the political strategy of Soviet Communism and the theoretical underpinnings of “official Marxism.” Instead, he suggests a radical revision of Marxism by breathing life into a new interpretation whose fundamental concepts are: politics as the struggle for hegemony, the “passive revolution” as a historical paradigm of modernity, and the philosophy of praxis as the welding between visions of the worlds, historical analyses, and political strategies. Gramsci’s intuitions culminate in a new theory of the political subject, supported by a reflection upon the 20th century that still speaks to us today, pointing the way toward a new narrative of world history.
Zucchetti, Emilio, and Anna Maria Cimino, eds. Antonio Gramsci and the Ancient World. Abingdon; New York: Routledge, 2021 (ISBN 978-0-367-19314-0).
Abstract: Antonio Gramsci and the Ancient World explores the relationship between the work of the Italian Marxist thinker Antonio Gramsci and the study of classical antiquity. The collection of essays engages with Greek and Roman history, literature, society, and culture, offering a range of perspectives and approaches building on Gramsci’s theoretical insights, especially from his Prison Notebooks. The volume investigates both Gramsci’s understanding and reception of the ancient world, including his use of ancient sources and modern historiography, and the viability of applying some of his key theoretical insights to the study of Greek and Roman history and literature. The chapters deal with the ideas of hegemony, passive revolution, Caesarism, and the role of intellectuals in society, offering a complex and diverse exploration of this intersection.With its fascinating mixture of topics, this volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of classics, ancient history, classical reception studies, Marxism and history, and those studying Antonio Gramsci’s works in particular.
