Gramscian friends, help me out here: I can’t find the reference to an article on the German translation of the Prison Notebooks, probably published in the International Gramsci Journal.

Do you remember it?

Jamaican-British cultural theorist Stuart Hall in his posthumous memoir recalled that while collaborating with the Universities and Left Review in the 1950s, ‘there was a notion of hegemony operating there already […] although none of us had yet read a word of Gramsci’.

Farage ha vinto con parole d’ordine di sinistra, sostenute però da una piattaforma di destra radicale (servizi ai soli britannici, nazionalizzazione in funzione militare).

Mentre capisco, e magari un po' condivido, quell'atteggiamento del "io-ve-lo-avevo-detto" nei confronti del partito laburista che ha subito una bella batosta alle elezioni locali,
