Representaion Toward Books Selections from the Prison Notebooks (Quaderni del carcere #3)

Gramsci's notebooks are wide-ranging and not the easiest to read. I found the rambling nature of the notes hard to boil down to a general idea. So while I was reading these notes I made use of youtube to get what the important takeaway from Gramsci exactly is. The major thing to look for is his idea of cultural hegemony and counter hegemonies. A lot of our ideas we hold while we do our day to day stuff we just hold because someone usual quite a few people told us they are true or common sense. These ideas go unexamined and become habits without understanding why we hold to them. These ideas which people usually call common sense or the natural way of things. These ''Common Sense" ideas usually prop up the current social order and can be strikingly at odds with people's lived experience yet we believe these notions and not our eyes. Gramsci was working as a Marxist and he knew workers understood their lives were miserable and it was their bosses that were making it that way yet the cultural conservatism in religion and politics made acting on what they experience contrary to what their "common sense" told them. For Gramsci that is not an accident. The people in charge do their damnedest to make "common sense" work for the social order. The job of someone who wants to change things is to change common sense. Hence build a counter-hegemony. Once you get habits of thought you get a change on the ground. Anyway, I had a hard time extracting that from his notes. Thanks to youtube for helping me along.

Here is a video from Youtube on it. Less than 15 minutes.

Notice About Books Selections from the Prison Notebooks (Quaderni del carcere #3)

Selections from the Prison Notebooks by Antonio Gramsci reading this tome is enlightening and firms up my appreciation of Gramsci that is totally opposed to the liberal academic appropriation of the Italian communist thinker. Majority of Gramscis interpreters endorse a nebulous cultural politics of hegemony that is divorced from the class struggle and historical necessity and is used to justify parliamentarism and reformist politics. For sure, The Prison Notebooks coded writing and fragmented



The Italian fascist regime wanted to shut down Gramsci's brain when they imprisoned him. They failed.

this is a very pleasant book. it helps a lot if you read it while writing job applications. of course it also makes you want to go to prison but let's stop here.

Theres so much in Gramscis Prison Notebooks. Italian history, practical Marxism, a 1920's Italian perspective on American business. How could you not want to read it?Gramscis writings cover a wide ground. He interprets Machiavelli in a modern context, describing political parties as the modern Prince and explores the opportunities consequences that follow. He muses about Americas capitalistic spirit, its connection to Taylorism, and if Fords invasive approach to managing personal morality in

I browsed these lovely 3 volumes in the store last evening as a winter storm was gathering- does anyone have anything to say re: are these big things worth my time? They look so enchanting...

-this was my second read on part of it, first read on more than half though-i thought that the preface by the editors was really interesting and helpful-favorite part this time around was the section on conjunctural analysis as a method, except he doesn't call it that.
