Antonio Gramsci Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

Antonio Gramscis Begriff der Subalternen ist im Kontext der Postkolonialen Studien von großer Bedeutung. In seinen »Gefängnisheften« entwickelt Gramsci diesen Begriff und verknüpft ihn mit der »Frage des Südens«, die sich auf die strukturelle Ungleichheit in Italien bezieht und die Hegemoniefrage territorialisiert. Der Reader enthält mehrere Frühschriften aus den Jahren 1919–1926, in denen Gramsci die politische Relevanz der Südfrage für die hegemoniale Strategie der italienischen Arbeiterbewegung analysiert. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der Aufsatz »Einige Gesichtspunkte der Südfrage« (1926), der eine Schlüsselrolle für sein Hauptwerk spielt. Er wird ergänzt durch Gramscis Beitrag zum III. Parteitag des PCI, die »Thesen von Lyon«, sowie Artikel aus dem Ordine Nuovo. Die kommentierte Neuübersetzung berücksichtigt den aktuellen Stand der Reflexion zu Gramscis Sprache und Begrifflichkeiten. Der zweite Teil des Readers enthält Auszüge aus den »Gefängnisheften«, in denen die Analyse der Südfrage vertieft wird, sowie zentrale Passagen zur Theorie der Subalternen. Diese verdeutlichen, dass der Begriff nicht lediglich das Proletariat bezeichnet und dass subalterne Gruppen nicht nur im Süden, sondern auch »an den Rändern der Geschichte« zu finden sind.

This volume presents the first complete translation of Antonio Gramsci's notes on the concept of subalternity, including the prison notebook devoted to the theme of subaltern social groups. It includes a critical apparatus that clarifies Gramsci's history, culture, and sources and contextualizes these ideas against his earlier writings and letters.

A collection of letters is also essentially a biography – here of a man recognized as one of the twentieth century’s leading thinkers. By translating and presenting for the first time many letters previously overlooked by other volumes, this collection greatly expands what the English-speaking world knows of him, both politically and personally. These extracts from his pre-prison correspondence—with his wife and her sister, international communist leaders, and fellow Italian revolutionaries—show his most important ideas at their beginnings, and give a well rounded picture of Gramsci’s political, intellectual, and emotional development. Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937) was a founding member of the Italian Communist Party, and among the twentieth century's most influential theorists.

"Credi che la corrispondenza mi preme molto: è il solo legame che mi unisce al mondo ed è ciò che rompe di tanto in tanto la mia segregazione e il mio isolamento" scriveva Antonio Gramsci (Ales, 1891 – Roma, 1937) alla cognata Tania nel maggio 1927 dal carcere. Gramsci era stato condannato a 20 anni nel 1926 per ordine del regime fascista. Durante la prigionia scrisse numerose lettere ad amici e familiari, fin quando gli fu concessa la piena libertà il 21 aprile 1937, per gravi problemi di salute che lo portarono alla morte una settimana più tardi. Questa raccolta comprende le lettere scritte tra il 1926 e il 1936, le quali offrono uno sguardo sul mondo intellettuale e privato di un personaggio chiave della storia italiana, tra aneddoti quotidiani e riflessioni morali, tra piccole gioie, come una rosa che fiorisce o un passerottino che si fa imboccare di briciole, e grandi dolori, come la malattia, l'isolamento o le incomprensioni e i rimproveri a coloro da cui Gramsci si sente sempre più abbandonato.
