DESCRIPTION:Day two (25 May):\n\nFrom 9am-5pm Conference Talks\n\nFew think
 ers enjoy as much posthumous notoriety as Antonio Gramsci. Due to their or
 iginality and versatility\, his concepts have had an extraordinary afterli
 fe\, exerting a profound influence in fields as diverse as late critical t
 heory\, post-Marxism\, subaltern studies\, cultural studies\, postcolonial
 ism\, and intellectual history. As a theorist of revolution\, he developed
  a unique approach\, capable of apprehending the dynamic interrelations be
 tween State and civil society\; coercion and consent\; domination and hege
 mony\; traditional and organic intellectuals\; and subaltern and ruling cl
 asses. These contributions went a long way toward overcoming the rigidity 
 of the orthodox Marxist formulations of the Second International and setti
 ng the theoretical foundations for what is today known as Western Marxism.
  Furthermore\, they have been taken up in a variety of contemporary discip
 lines and social movements to confront power struggles in today’s world. I
 n short\, key Gramscian concepts like hegemony have achieved a hegemonic s
 tatus on a global level within both popular and intellectual spheres of in
 fluence\, together with other concepts like subalternity and organic publi
 c intellectuals. To what degree\, though\, has his thought been enriched o
 r\, conversely\, compromised by being appropriation and mobilized by so ma
 ny different actors in some many different political and cultural contexts
 ? To what degree are his theories compatible\, for example\, with the inte
 llectual traditions of liberalism\, which Gramsci sacrificed so much to op
 pose? What does Gramsci say to us in our present context of counter-revolu
 tion and neoliberal triumphalism? Similarly\, how are we to reconcile Gram
 sci’s privileging of the public function of the intellectual in a context 
 of stark anti-intellectualism? How are we to appropriate Gramscian categor
 ies for our own purposes while honoring his intellectual project\, that is
 \, how are we to avoid Gramscianism without Gramsci? Through the explorati
 on of these and other inquiries\, we invite you to rethink the legacy of A
 ntonio Gramsci.\n
