Abstract
For both Antonio Gramsci and Edward Said, culture is mediated by the notion of hegemony: they therefore strive to philologically articulate the kind of historical understanding expressed and promoted in cultural manifestations - novels, theatre, media, popular folklore - by virtue of their form and location. What also emerges from this process is a constant emphasis on the role of intellectuals in presenting, embodying and expressing a message to and for a specific audience. Last but not least, Said and Gramsci maintain that the intellectual’s specificity is an aspect of a more general reaction of modern criticism against a form of aesthetic temporality dating back to Hegel, nowadays supplanted by a powerful geographic sense. In turn, such a spatial sense of discontinuity is more appropriate for comprehending contemporary forms of disjunctive formations and experiences, such as women’s history and subaltern groups.Items in DSpace are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.
