Esta coletânea reúne artigos que tratam do pensamento de A. Gramsci considerando suas interações com a produção intelectual e o ambiente político que lhe eram contemporâneos. Nos textos ora apresentados, o tempo histórico de Gramsci - imperiosamente marcado pela guerra, imperialismo, ascensão dos nacionalismos e do fascismo, a experiência dos bolcheviques e de criação dos partidos comunistas - ganha materialidade nos diálogos que o marxista estabeleceu com intelectuais que pertenciam, com maior ou menor exatidão, à sua geração e que produziram nas primeiras décadas do século XX. Os artigos aqui reunidos tratam da produção gramsciana acentuando seu esforço de dialogar com as questões de seu presente e as perspectivas abertas para o futuro, discutindo as respostas que eram então elaboradas.
Antonio Gramsci morreu em 1937, depois de passar mais de dez anos nos cárceres do fascismo. Perante o tribunal que o condenou, o procurador fascista responsável pela acusação exclamou: "É preciso impedir este cérebro de funcionar por vinte anos". Apesar disso, o prisioneiro continuou seu trabalho intelectual e político na prisão. Sua obra, composta de artigos para a imprensa comunista, documentos partidários e dos enigmáticos cadernos de anotações que redigiu na prisão revelou-se com o tempo rica de significados para interpretar a crise da sociedade contemporânea e estimular movimentos de emancipação. Traduzido mundialmente, esse rico pensamento assumiu contornos particulares...
This anthology brings together key articles translated into English for the first time from Italian debates concerning Antonio Gramsci's writings on language and translation as central to his entire social and political thought. It includes recent scholarship by Italian, German and English-speaking scholars providing important contributions to debates concerning culture, language, Marxism, post-Marxism, and identity as well as the many fields in which Gramsci's notion of hegemony has been influential. Given the growing literature on the role of language and so-called 'global English' within process of globalisation or cultural and economic imperialism, this is a timely collection. Franco Lo ...
A feel-good novel for fans of A Man Called Ove and The Rosie Project, about an eccentric, language-loving bachelor and the cat that opens his eyes to life’s little pleasures The Silver Linings Playbook author Matthew Quick: “A delightfully absurd, life-affirming celebration. I literally stood up and cheered as I read the last page.” When Samuel, a lonely linguistics lecturer, wakes up on New Year’s Day, he is convinced that the year ahead will bring nothing more than passive verbs and un-italicized moments—until an unexpected visitor slips into his Barcelona apartment and refuses to leave. The appearance of Mishima, a stray, brindle-furred cat, becomes the catalyst that leads Samue...
Drawing on the rich recent season of Gramscian philological studies, this book offers a reconsideration of Gramsci's theory of the state and concept of philosophy, arguing that a renewal of the 'philosophy of praxis' constitutes a necessary element in the contemporary revitalisation of Marxism.
Unravelling Gramsci makes extensive use of Antonio Gramsci’s writings, including his much-overlooked pre-prison journalism, prison letters, as well as his prison notebooks, to provide a fresh approach to understanding his contemporary relevance in the current neoliberal world order. Adam Morton examines in detail the themes of hegemony, passive revolution and uneven development to provide a useful way of analysing the contemporary global political economy, the project of neoliberalism, processes of state formation, and practices of resistance. The book explores the theoretical and practical limitations of how Gramsci’s ideas can be used today, offering a broad insight into state formation and the international factors shaping hegemony within a capitalist framework.
