Artikler

Marxisten man kunne invitere med hjem til sin mor. Af Carsten Jensen (Solidaritet.dk, 26. oktober 2021)
“Han ville opbygge et masseparti, der kunne arbejde inden for parlamentariske rammer. Som optakt til Selskabet for Arbejderhistories festival på lørdag, skriver Carsten Jensen om Antonio Gramsci, der var med til at opbygge det italienske kommunistparti, men døde i fængsel efter fascisternes magtovertagelse.”
Se replik fra Alfred Lang: Antonio Gramsci, Amadeo Bordiga og lokalvalget i Italien (Ibid., 2. november 2021). “Koblingen mellem de nyligt overståede lokalvalg og Gramsci’s revolutionære politik virker misvisende i en ellers god og informativ artikel.”

Gramsci kendte hverken til velfærdsstat eller klimakrise. Af Carsten Jensen (Solidaritet.dk, 22. november 2020)
“Velfærdsstaten, de nye demokratiske krav og klimakrisen var ikke på Gramscis dagsorden. Læs og brug ham derfor ud fra nutidens sammenhæng.”

De venstreorienterede, magten og klimakrisen: Om Antonio Gramscis politiske aktualitet (Solidaritet.dk, 24. juni 2020)
“Det kan godt være, det ikke er populært på venstrefløjen at snakke om, at man ‘ønsker magt over andre’. Det bliver man dog nødt til at komme sig over, hvis man vil udrette noget på klimaspørgsmålet, mener Carsten Jensen. Han peger på den italienske filosof, Antonio Gramsci som et godt sted at studere det spørgsmål.”

Gramsci er vaccine mod et sygt system. Af Lars Henrik Carlskov (Socialistisk Arbejderavis, nr.380, 25. maj 2020)
“Nutidens aktivister kan lære af Antonio Gramscis  idéer om vejen fra protest til social revolution.”

Bevar roen og læs Gramsci. Af Carsten Jensen (Kritisk Debat, 15. juni 2018; online på Internet Archive)
“En kommenteret reportage fra en udstilling af originalerne til Antonio Gramscis Fængselsoptegnelser og et oplæg af arbejderhistorikeren Donald Sassoon på det italienske kulturinstitut i London, december 2017.”

Kulturelt hegemoni og postdemokrati (pdf). Af Gert Sørensen (Dkp.dk). Oplæg på Marxismekonference (9. september 2017, 7 s.)
“Man finder dog ikke hos Gramsci en udbygget teori om demokratiet. Hvad han lægger vægt på, er, at det er en styreform, der sikrer en større grad af social mobilitet og deltagelse nedefra og dermed også en større og hyppigere udskiftning af ‘de ledende grupper’.”

Antonio Gramsci: liv og værk (pdf). Af Claus Bryld (Kritisk Debat, 15. april 2016, 11 s.; online på RUC)
“Som tænker bevægede Gramsci sig frit mellem republikaneren Niccolo Macchiavelli, socialisten Karl Marx og den liberale italienske filosof Benedetto Croce. På dette grundlag udformede han sin særlige ‘praxisfilosofi’ og sin særlige politikopfattelse, der vender sig mod eliternes indbyggede tendens til magtfudkommenhed.”

Antonio Gramsci – ikke kun for begyndere. Af David Helin (Solidaritet, nr.3, december 1998, s.10-16; online på Internet Archive)
“Antonio Gramsci anses som tilhørende rækken af de betydeligste marxistiske og socialistiske teoretikere, og måske den største siden Lenin. Han udgør ihvertfald efter min mening et meget vigtigt supplement til Marx, Engels og Lenin …”

Antonio Gramsci – hvad kan vi lære? Af Mette Moltke (International Socialisme, nr. 1, februar 1992, s.33-36; online på Socialister.dk)
“I 100-året for Antonio Gramscis fødsel udkom på dansk et udvalg af den italienske revolutionæres fængselsoptegnelser. Bogen er et vigtigt bidrag for enhver, der vil forstå historien og marxismens teoretiske fundament.”

Antonio Gramsci’s fængselsoptegnelser: En befriet marxisme. Af Karsten Ditlevsen (Giraffen, nr.5, 1991, s.26-28; online på Modkraft.dk)
“Gramsci’s ‘praksisfilosofi’ beskæftiger sig med mennesket i historien. Hans tanker er derfor et frontalt opgør med stalinismens dogmatisering af marxismen, skriver Karsten Ditlevsen i denne introduktion til Gramsci’s ‘Fængselsoptegnelser’.”

Antonio Gramscis ‘praksis-filosofi’ (pdf). Af Jens Hoff (Politica, årg.20, nr.3, 1988, s.330-346)
“I denne artikel søges det påvist, at Gramsci er den ‘klassiske’ marxistiske tænker, som på det teoretiske plan er mest konsekvent og mest original i analysen ‘samfundsmæssig praksis’.”

Antonio Gramsci – en politisk biografi (pdf). Av Quintin Hoare (Lund, Arkiv, 1983, 116 s.; online på Marxistarkiv.se, 10. april 2018)
“En kortfattad men fyllig biografi över Gramscis politiska bana – från de politiska ungdomsåren i Turin kring första världskriget, över perioden som ledare för det italienska kommunistpartiet och fram till tiden i Mussolinis fängelser 1926–37.”

Motsägelser hos Antonio Gramsci (pdf). Av Perry Anderson (Marxistarkiv.se, august 2018, 90 s.)
Artikel ur New Left Review (nr.100, november-december 1976, s.5-78) (i nyutgåva 2017),  där Anderson diskuterar Gramscis hegemonibegrepp, och de motsägelser Anderson ser i Gramscis texter.”

The misuses of Gramsci (Weekly Worker, Issue 1336, 25 February 2021)

Happy birthday, Antonio Gramsci. By Lorenzo Alfano (Jacobin, January 22, 2020)
“Antonio Gramsci is remembered as a great theorist of modern politics and culture. But he didn’t think big ideas were just a matter for intellectuals — and he insisted that workers must become the leaders of their own organizations.”

The revolutionary ideas of Antonio Gramsci. By Alessandro Giardiello (In Defence of Marxism, 17 January 2020)
“Who was Gramsci? All manner of weird and wonderful answers have been given to this question, with plenty of distortions, if not outright historical falsifications, from petit-bourgeois academics and intellectuals, to revisionists in the labour movement.”

Antonio Gramsci and the Modern Prince. By Paul Le Blanc (Links: International Journal of Socialist Renewal, December 1, 2018)
“An examination of one of his best known works, ‘The Modern Prince’, highlights Gramsci as a theorist focused on practical revolutionary politics.”

Antonio Gramsci: Towards an Intellectual Biography. By Franco Manni (Marx & Philosophy Review of Books, 13 October 2018). Review of Alastair Davidson’s book (Haymarket Books, 2018, 344 p.)
“[The book] was originally published in 1976 and while this new edition does not contain any updated material, it comes with a new introduction in which the author claims the book to be the latest major English-language biography of Gramsci. Despite the title, it is not only an intellectual, but also a psychological, sociological and political biography.”

Morbid symptoms: What did Gramsci mean and how does it apply to our time? By Gilbert Achcar (International Socialist Review, Issue 108, Spring 2018)

The legacy of Antonio Gramsci (RS21: Revolutionary Socialism in the 21st Century, June 23, 2017)

“Rosengarten’s explicit purpose in this volume is to restore Gramsci to his rightful place in the revolutionary milieu of the Third International of the 1920s with its unwavering commitment to the necessity of a coercive toppling of the capitalist state.”

Trotsky and Gramsci on revolutionary strategy (Left Voice, September 15, 2016). Review of Emilio Albamonte and Mathias Maiello, Gramsci and Trotsky: Strategy for the Revolution in the West (Left Voice, 2016, 158 p.)
“Marxist historian Doug Greene discusses the main topics presented in a new book by two national leaders of the Partido de los Trabajadores Socialistas (PTS) … this book should be eagerly read by revolutionaries in preparation for the battles ahead.”

Antonio Gramsci: academic or revolutionary? By Bob Fotheringham (International Socialism, Issue 151, Summer 2016, p.214-216). Review of George Hoare and Nathan Sperber, An Introduction to Antonio Gramsci: His Life, Thought and Legacy (Bloomsbury, 2015, 272 p.)
“For a student … Hoare and Sperber’s book will prove a useful, though flawed, introduction. Those of us, on the other hand, interested in what Gramsci has to offer in understanding and changing the world as part of a revolutionary strategy will need to look elsewhere.”

Gramsci for communists. By Doug Enaa Greene (Links: International Journal for Socialist Renewal, June 22, 2015)
“Gramsci has been claimed by academics who spin out the latest in obstructionist ‘theory’ with no relation to revolution, Eurocommunists who need a ‘left’ cover for their revisionism, ex-radicals who think Gramsci’s ‘war of position’ means working within the US Democratic Party, and cultural critics who sneer at any and all forms of Marxism.”

Gramsci and Trotsky. By Martin Thomas (Solidarity, 3/211, 8 July 2011)
“Gramsci and Trotsky were both revolutionary Marxists. Yet Gramsci was not a Trotskyist, and Trotsky was not a Gramscian. What were their differences, and what can we learn from them?”

In the shadow of orthodox Trotskyism. By Joseph Choonara (International Socialism, Issue 122, Spring 2009). Review of Emanuele Saccarelli, Gramsci and Trotsky in the Shadow of Stalinism (Routledge, 2008)
“Books culled from doctoral theses are rarely page-turners but this work by unashamed Trotskyist Emanuele Saccarelli is better than most. Saccarelli attempts to rescue Antonio Gramsci and Leon Trotsky from the slander, misappropriation, distortion and, especially in Trotsky’s case, silencing that academia has subjected them to.”

Revolution and the party in Gramsci’s thought: A modern application. By Dan Jakopovich (International Viewpoint, Issue 406, November 2008)
“The central thread of this work is an evaluation of Antonio Gramsci’s fundamental contributions to the theory of revolutionary social transformation, particularly incorporating the role of the revolutionary party as the central institution of revolutionary conflict …”

Antonio Gramsci’s revolutionary legacy (International Socialism, Issue 114, Spring 2007)
“Antonio Gramsci is one of the most cited political thinkers of the 20th century. He is also one of the most misused. Thirty years ago socialists in favour of class conciliation treated him as their own; today ‘post-Marxist’ academics do the same. But Gramsci was a revolutionary with much to teach revolutionaries today.”

Trotsky and Gramsci: a posthumous dialogue. By Emilio Albamonte and Manolo Romano (Estrategia Internacional, No.19, 2003)
“In this article, we dwell on what we believe are the shortcomings in Gramsci’s views, but we are nevertheless aware that as much as Stalinism does not represent in the least a continuity with Bolshevism, but its counter-revolutionary degeneration, so current followers of Gramsci cannot claim to be his legitimate heirs.”

Antonio Gramsci and C.L.R. James: some parallels and similarities. By
Frank Rosengarten (International Gramsci Society, August 2002)
“… a brief review of writing on James in which Gramscian terms and concepts play an important role. But before doing that, let me indicate a few of the themes in relation to which parallels and similarities between Gramsci and James are especially noteworthy.”

“How can questions raised by an Italian Communist in his wartime prison cell help us understand Thatcherism?”

The Gramsci-Trotsky Question (1922-1932) (pdf). By Frank Rosengarten (Social Text, No.11, Winter 1984-85, p.65-95; online at Academia.edu)
“I would argue, however, that a balanced view of Gramsci requires that we not only acknowledge his contribution to current “cultural radical” discourse, but that we also situate him unequivocally in the context of the revolutionary struggle to build a new society in accordance with the principles of Soviet socialist democracy.”

Gramsci versus Eurocommunism, Part 1. By Chris Harman (International Socialism, No.98, May 1977, p.23-26; at Marxists Intet Archive) + Part 2 (No.99, June 1977, p.10-14)
“In the first part of this article, Chris Harman rescued Gramsci’s thought from the distortions it has suffered at the hands of the Eurocommunists. In the second and final part he critically examines Gramsci’s strategy for revolution in Western Europe.”

Gramsci and Lenin 1917-1922. By Alastair Davidson (Socialist Register, 1974, p. 125-150)
“It seems from a historical reconstruction that the leninism which Gramsci knew before 1921, and accepted, was a ‘sovietist’ leninism (or, as critics would have it, a ‘syndicalist’ deviation) which stressed that a revolution is made from below by masses of men learning in the practice of organizing themselves for united action.”

Gramsci and Marxism. By V.G. Kiernan (Socialist Register, 1972, p.1-33)
“Antonio Gramsci … was, thanks to an intense absorption in and then forcible isolation from political life, a pioneer, the first outstanding one perhaps, of a new kind of Marxism or, more exactly, of fidelity in a new age to the spirit of early Marxism, enquiring and speculative as well as purposeful, truly catholic or world-embracing, after the great schism and the onset of its rigid disciplines.”

Theory and practice in Gramsci’s Marxism. By John Merrington (Socialist Register, 1968, p.145-176)
“Gramsci has recently been called ‘the theoretician of revolution in
the west’. Certainly it is true that no Marxist has confronted with
such lucidity the problem of organizing and sustaining a socialist movement
in the conditions of advanced capitalism.”
