Gramsci

Summary

Dominique Pagani places Gramsci among the figures of Hegelian Marxism1 and cites him among the Marxist analysts of fascism. He takes up the phrase in which Gramsci called Lenin's revolution a "revolution against Capital"2. He also recalls that Gramsci edited the journal in which Togliatti wrote about Marx and Hegel. In discussing Clouscard, he draws on Gramsci's notion of the historical bloc, understood as the alliance of the propertied classes and the middle strata3. In his sessions on music, he takes up the translation of Volk as "national-popular," understood in a Jacobin and revolutionary sense4. A participant first quotes the sentence about the old world dying, the new one being slow to appear, and monsters arising. Pagani later takes it up himself to think of the present as an edge between past and future5. Finally, participants mention that the New Right has appropriated the concept of hegemony, as it has also appropriated Clouscard.
