coherence

is built upon that contradiction that if it implies domination (integration of practical and theoretical elements) then those subject to dominance find that their practices are characterized by incoherence and powerlessness.

Accordingly, coherence implies its own contradiction: if coherence implies domination and an 'integration of practical and theoretical elements that increase not only logical consistency, but also the capacity to act', those subject to dominance find that their practices are characterised by incoherence.20 The disorganisation of subordinate groups is often experienced as powerlessness. Because, for Grarnsci, coherence implies the ability to articulate sustained sets of actions, organisations, and languages, the obstacles facing subordinate groups are formidable. Even when these groups are able to participate politically, they often do so in ways that may advance some aspect of their interests, but reinforce the larger, systematic relationships that result in their powerlessness in the first place.

is definitionally lacking in subordinate groups (insofar as it is a historical form of power); thus, their political participation always often serves to reinforce the larger, systematic relationships that result in their powerlessness in the first place.

is not logical coherence as a formal property, but as historical and political connections that have only to be more stable than competing attempts to form alternatives.

Gramsci indicates something other than logical coherence; he is interested in coherence not as a formal property, but as historical and political connections that have only to be more stable than competing attempts to form alternatives.

is the ways in which, amid an ever-changing world, stability is created in ways that produce inequalities of power.
