Antonio Gramsci was born in Sardinia in 1891, became the leader of the Italian Communist Party in his early 30s, was arrested by Mussolini’s police in 1927, and remained imprisoned until shortly before his death 10 years later. The posthumous publication of his Prison Notebooks established him as a major thinker whose influence continues to increase. Fiori’s biography enlarges upon the facts of Gramsci’s life through personal accounts, and through Gramsci’s own writings to relatives and friends.

Para la construcción de esta obra, Sacristán, posiblemente el más destacado intelectual español de izquierdas de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, sigue dos reglas: primera, no separar completamente los textos "personales" de Gramsci de los textos públicos, sino considerar que la cronología es más fuerte razón de homogeneidad que el género literario; y segunda, acentuar la temática en la que se realiza la unidad de la "obra", que no es otra que la literatura política.

First published in 1948, Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks is an important Marxist work that says we must understand societies both in terms of their economic relationships and their cultural beliefs. Gramsci wanted to explore why Russia had undergone a socialist revolution in 1917 while other European countries had not. So he developed the concept of hegemony, which is the idea that those who hold power in a society can maintain and use that power because of their own grip on cultural values and economic relationships.

«Entonces tal vez, será realidad el sueño de los muchachos muertos, de esa bella muchacha, edecán de la Olimpiada, caída ante las balas, con los ojos inmóviles y el silencio en sus labios que hablaban cuatro idiomas. Algún día una lámpara votiva se levantará en la Plaza de las Tres Culturas en memoria de todos ellos. Otros jóvenes la conservarán encendida.»

Antonio Mendez and his future wife, Jonna, were CIA operatives working to spy on Moscow in the late 1970s, at one of the most dangerous moments in the Cold War. Soviets kept files on all foreigners, studied their patterns, tapped their phones, and even planted listening devices within the US embassy. In short, intelligence work was effectively impossible. The Soviet threat loomed larger than ever. The Moscow Rules tells the story of the intelligence breakthroughs that turned the odds in America's favor.

The last twenty years have witnessed a proliferation of radical social and political movements around the world. From the International Women's Strike and Occupy, to #BlackLivesMatter and direct action against the climate emergency, a series of common questions have re-emerged as immediate and practical challenges. How should radical political movements relate to the state? What makes emancipatory politics fundamentally different from both technocratic and populist models of "politics as usual"?

Le "Lettere dal carcere" di Antonio Gramsci vennero pubblicate, su decisione di Togliatti, per la prima volta da Einaudi nel 1947 in una edizione costituita da 218 testi. Si trattava di una raccolta incompleta, che però per prima portava a conoscenza del grande pubblico l'opera di Gramsci. Il libro vinse il premio Viareggio di quell'anno. Nel 1965 uscì la nuova edizione Einaudi, a cura di Caprioglio e Fubini, con la pubblicazione di 428 testi. Le lettere hanno come destinatari principalmente i due nuclei familiari: la famiglia d'origine con la madre, Peppina Marcias, le sorelle, Teresina e Grazietta, e il fratello Carlo che vive a Milano e la famiglia acquisita, russa: la moglie Giulia Schucht, la cognata, Tatiana, i figli, Delio e Giuliano, e l'amico Piero Sraffa, professore di economia a Cambridge.

On November 8th, 1926 Antonio Gramsci, a newspaper editor, Marxist thinker, and elected member of the parliament for the Italian Communist Party was arrested by the Italian Fascist police despite his parliamentary immunity, and sent to the Special Tribunal for the Defense of the State. The party was outlawed by Benito Mussolini during his regime, and Mr. Gramsci was sentenced to twenty years in prison for subversive propaganda against the power of state. He was relocated from one penitentiary onto another for precautionary measures; Mr. Stalin himself made several attempts to negotiate ...

In this podcast we discuss Greg’s recent article in MLToday: “Antonio Gramsci: Theirs and Ours.” Gramsci, an Italian Marxist philosopher, theorized that ruling classes maintain power through cultural hegemony—controlling institutions like media, education, and religion to shape societal norms. Surprisingly, today’s far-right (e.g., Steve Bannon, Christopher Rufo, Marine Le Pen) has weaponized Gramsci’s ideas, using his playbook to dominate politics by attacking "wokeness," reshaping schools, and leveraging media. Meanwhile, the left has fragmented into identity politics, failing to...

"Arrestato alle ore 22,30 dell'8 novembre 1926, davanti all'ingresso di via Morgagni 25, dimora dei Passarge, l'onorevole Gramsci venne tradotto al carcere di Regina Coeli. In quella manciata di minuti fu decretata la fine, o quasi, dell'attività politica di un militante appassionato e coraggioso, anche se si aprì la strada all'opera di un gigante del pensiero, politico, ma non solo." Angelo d'Orsi racconta questa storia dall'infanzia in Sardegna agli studi a Torino, da Mosca a Vienna, da Roma al carcere di Turi, fino alla clinica romana dove spirerà il 27 aprile 1937.

Queste brevi ma intense pagine sembrano scrite ai giorni nostri e rappresentano una seppur minima ma fondamentale radice di tutto il pensiero gramsciano.

Fiabe dei fratelli Grimm è un audiolibro proposto da Alfaudiobook. Antonio Gramsci tradusse, con l'intenzione di mandarle ai suoi nipoti, alcune favole dei fratelli Grimm mentre si trovava in carcere. Pubblicate oggi per la prima volta in versione audio, le famose favole di Cappuccetto Rosso, La bella addormentata nel bosco, Biancaneve e Cenerentola, sono non solamente un'incantata raccolta per bambini ma, grazie alla traduzione dell'autore, una suggestione per gli adulti, un'opera paragonabile per valore simbolico ai racconti di Hoffmann e di Poe.

Tra i fondatori del Partito Comunista d'Italia, Antonio Gramsci trascorse gran parte della propria vita politica da recluso, accusato di marxismo e antifascismo. Il 25 aprile 1937, nel giorno in cui sarebbero state sospese le misure di detenzione nei suoi confronti, Gramsci venne colpito da un'emorragia cerebrale, rimanendo semiparalizzato. Morì due giorni dopo, lasciandosi alle spalle un numero di quesiti irrisolti e testimonianze contraddittorie.

In recent decades, many philosophers and cognitive scientists have declared the problem of consciousness unsolvable, but Antonio Damasio is convinced that recent findings across multiple scientific disciplines have given us a way to understand consciousness and its significance for human life. In Feeling & Knowing, Damasio helps us understand why being conscious is not the same as sensing, why nervous systems are essential for the development of feelings, and why feeling opens the way to consciousness writ large.

One of Silicon Valley’s most audacious chaos monkeys is Antonio García Martínez. After stints on Wall Street and as CEO of his own startup, García Martínez joined Facebook’s nascent advertising team. Forced out in the wake of an internal product war over the future of the company’s monetization strategy, García Martínez eventually landed at rival Twitter. In Chaos Monkeys, this gleeful contrarian unravels the chaotic evolution of social media and online marketing and reveals how it is invading our lives and shaping our future.

The Strange Order of Things is a pathbreaking investigation into homeostasis, the condition that regulates human physiology within the range that makes possible not only the survival but also the flourishing of life. Antonio Damasio makes clear that we descend biologically, psychologically, and even socially from a long lineage that begins with single living cells; that our minds and cultures are linked by an invisible thread to the ways and means of ancient unicellular life and other primitive life-forms.

Why do well-intentioned plans for improving the human condition go tragically awry? Author James C. Scott analyzes failed cases of large-scale authoritarian plans in a variety of fields. Centrally managed social plans misfire, Scott argues, when they impose schematic visions that do violence to complex interdependencies that are not - and cannot - be fully understood. Further, the success of designs for social organization depends upon the recognition that local, practical knowledge is as important as formal, epistemic knowledge.

In this timely and explosive book, philosopher and YouTuber Jonas Čeika (a.k.a. Cuck Philosophy) reinvigorates socialism for the 21st century. Leaving behind its past associations with bureaucracy and state tyranny, and its lifeless and drab theoretical accounts, Čeika instead uses the works of Marx and Nietzsche to reconnect socialism with its human element, presenting it as something not only affecting, but created by living, breathing, suffering human individuals.
