Language and Hegemony in Gramsci introduces Gramsci's social and
political thought through his writings on language. It shows how
his focus on language illuminates his central ideas such as
hegemony, organic and traditional intellectuals, passive
revolution, civil society and subalternity. Peter Ives explores
Gramsci's concern with language from his university studies in
linguistics to his last prison notebook. Hegemony has been seen as
Gramsci's most important contribution, but without knowledge of its
linguistic roots, it is often misunderstood. This book places
Gramsci's ideas within the linguistically influenced social theory
of the twentieth century. It summarizes some of the major ideas of
Ferdinand de Saussure, Ludwig Wittgenstein, language philosophy and
post-structuralism in relation to Gramsci's position. By paying
great attention to the linguistic underpinnings of Gramsci's
Marxism, Language and Hegemony in Gramsci shows how his
theorization of power, language and politics address issues raised
by post-modernism and the work of Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida,
Chantal Mouffe, and Ernesto Laclau.
