Antonio Gramsci was an Italian marxist theorist and politician. He wrote on political theory, sociology and linguistics. He attempted to break from the economic detterminism of traditional marxist thought and so is considered a key Neo-Marxist He was a founding member and one-time leader of the communist party of Italy and was imprisoned by Benito Mussolini's fascist regime. Antonio Gramsci was born on January 22, 1891, in Sardinia, Italy. In 1915, he became a journalist for the Italian Socialist Party. In 1921, the party split into the Italian Communist Party, of which he was an active participant. In 1926, he was arrested for speaking out against fascism. He started his “Prision Notebooks" in 1929 and died still a prisoner on April 27, 1937, in Rome, Italy.
Gramsci is a great intellectual reference, because he was an advance to his time, broke with the traditional Marxism that at that time put the Stalinism. Also, he wrote his great work from prison, which makes his intellectual display even more meritorious. For me, Antonio represents the basis for thinking about how culture affects human beings.
oh gramsci was a very interesting character and specially because he wrote his great work from prison, I would like read his work <3
ResponderEliminarHi Bernardo, I had heard about Gramsci before, but I only knew his name, now I get a little better knowledge of him, and I can say that he was an Italian sociologist and a person who worked in prison, interesting!
