September 2015 Gramsci and Foucault: Hegemony in the Global Episteme David Kreps

Antonio Gramsci Italian Marxist theoretician spent much time in prison. Most of what we know is in ‘Prison Notebooks’ Michel Foucault French poststructuralist philosopher and historian of ideas. Author of numerous books and academic lectures

Hegemony Force and consent used by the dominant to rule more effectively than with force alone Power/Knowledge Power is not located in those who exercise it - relations of power are everywhere, especially within ‘knowledge’

Culture Shifting alliances of different social groups vying for hegemony - more than just ‘economic necessity’ Discipline Selves constituted by the institutions, languages and practices we grow up with

Dissonance Gramsci: power over - macropolitics - state and social classes Foucault: power between - micropolitics - decentred individuals Consonance Foucauldian Gramsci: hegemony situated within discursive micropolitics Gramscian Foucault: resistance is possible through the collective revolution of the self

Hegemony in the Global Episteme ✤ / ˌ ep. ɪˈ sti ː m/ Foucault: the historical a priori that grounds knowledge and its discourses and thus represents the condition of their possibility within a particular epoch ✤ Gill: transnational historic bloc ✤ Hardt & Negri: Empire: (distributed/epistemic) neoliberal ascendancy

Hegemony in the Global Episteme ✤ Laclau & Mouffe: hegemony articulates (discursive) social identities ✤ Consumerised / financialised / virtualised social identities: a new transnational and distributed hegemonic governmentality ✤ Global episteme: hegemony and resistance: Google, Apple, Facebook, Monsanto, Nestle, TPP/TTIP vs Syriza, Podemos, Sanders and Corbyn.

✤ Leadership ✤ Newspaper barons and private education vs ‘Social media’ mediated social movements ✤ ‘Social media’ belong to corporate interests - a site of resistance where hegemony is fought for at the interpersonal level – the collective revolution of the self ✤ Arab Spring – leaderless – US:Sanders, Greece:Tsipras UK:Corbyn etc – heads of social movements organised online
