Historical Materialism Book Series386- Hegemony, Strategy, Organisation: Reading Gramsci Today

In the work of Antonio Gramsci, a potential hegemony of the subaltern emerges as an antagonistic practice of politics. This refers to the possibility that, through the resistances, struggles, and collective aspirations of labor, new forms of production can emerge that are egalitarian, sustainable, and democratically coordinated, based on the collective knowledge, experience, and ingenuity of the subaltern. It also refers to the potential for new popular cultures, constantly interacting with high culture, and the reclaiming of everything within it that is emancipatory and critical. Achieving this requires new forms of collective organization conceived as experimental sites for the production of new intellectualities, subjectivities, and strategies.
