The originality and depth of Gramsci's theory of hegemony is now
evidenced in the wide-ranging intellectual applications within a
growing corpus of research and writings that include social,
political and cultural theory, historical interpretation, gender
and globalization. The reason that hegemony has been so widely and
diversely adopted lies in the unique way that Gramsci formulated
the 'problematics' of structure/superstructure, coercion/consensus,
materialism/idealism and regression/progression within the concept
hegemony. However, in much of the contemporary literature the full
complexity of hegemony is either obfuscated or ignored. Hegemony,
through comprehensive and systematic analyses of Gramsci's
formulation, a picture of hegemony as a complex syncretism of these
dichotomies. In other words, hegemony is presented as a concept
that is as much about aspiration and progressive politico-social
relations as it is about regressive and dominative processes. Thus,
the volume recognises and presents this complexity through a
selection of contemporary theoretical as well as historico-social
investigations that mark a significantly innovative moment in the
work on hegemony.
