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

none of this work has been translated into English nor have the
debates that it spawned. Lo Piparo's specific thesis concerning the
"non-Marxist roots" of Gramsci's originality and the critical
responses to it have been almost unknown to non-Italian readers.
These debates paved the way for important recent Italian work on
the role of the concept of 'translation' in Gramsci's thought.
While translation has become a staple metaphor in discussions of
multiculturalism, globalization, and the politics of recognition,
until now, Gramsci's focus on it has been undeveloped. What is at
stake in this literature is more than Gramsci's understanding of
language as one of the many themes in his writings, but the core of
his central ideas including hegemony, culture, the philosophy of
praxis, and Marxism in general. This volume presents the most
important arguments of these debates in English in conjunction with
the latest research on these central aspects of Gramsci's thought.
The essays this volume rectify lacunae concerning language and
translation in Gramsci's writings. They open dialogue and
connections between Gramscian approaches to the relationships among
language, culture, poli
