Antonio GramsciThinkers

Articulation is a form of cultural analysis that emphasizes interactions between different elements or different modes of production.

Capitalism is totalizing in the sense that in order to sustain itself it is compelled to expand in space-time and to seek political dominance through the organization of hegemony.

Class is not a presupposed existence. Rather it comes into existence only when that class sees its role in terms of establishing its hegemony in the society.

Cultural hegemony is a 'domination or rule achieved through ideological means. The ability of a group of people to hold power over social institutions, and thus, to strongly influence the everyday thoughts, expectation, and behavior of the rest of society by directing the normative ideas, values, and beliefs that become the dominant worldview of a society.

Culture is a description of how people function (organize), imprint (document) and interact (socialize). Hence, culture is not static, but varies according to how it is used... that is, culture is non-referential (it cannot be held to one thing) and therefore is changeable.

Democracy is the narrowing of the distinction between the ruler and the ruled. 'Citizenship' (not limited to consent, but extended to participation) is widely instituted.

Elaboration is necessarily concerned as much with subordination, fracturing, diffusion, reproducing as is producing, creating, forcing, guiding.

Fascism is a particular form of the larger phenomenon of the passive revolution: A modernization that preserved residuals of parasitism, of corporativism, and a caste's privileges.

Fascism is, in Italy, not a sudden overhauling of the existing structure, but was made possible by the former structures of power in Italian society.

Fordism is the development of mass-production.
