DESCRIPTION:Day one (24 May):\n\nFrom 3pm-4pm Keynote introduction (Neelam 
 Srivastava)\n\nFrom 4pm-5pm Luca Sollai introduce the history of Antonio G
 ramsci\n\nFrom 5pm-7pm Screening of the movie Gramsci 44\n\nFew thinkers e
 njoy as much posthumous notoriety as Antonio Gramsci. Due to their origina
 lity and versatility\, his concepts have had an extraordinary afterlife\, 
 exerting a profound influence in fields as diverse as late critical theory
 \, post-Marxism\, subaltern studies\, cultural studies\, postcolonialism\,
  and intellectual history. As a theorist of revolution\, he developed a un
 ique approach\, capable of apprehending the dynamic interrelations between
  State and civil society\; coercion and consent\; domination and hegemony\
 ; traditional and organic intellectuals\; and subaltern and ruling classes
 . These contributions went a long way toward overcoming the rigidity of th
 e orthodox Marxist formulations of the Second International and setting th
 e theoretical foundations for what is today known as Western Marxism. Furt
 hermore\, they have been taken up in a variety of contemporary disciplines
  and social movements to confront power struggles in today’s world. In sho
 rt\, key Gramscian concepts like hegemony have achieved a hegemonic status
  on a global level within both popular and intellectual spheres of influen
 ce\, together with other concepts like subalternity and organic public int
 ellectuals. To what degree\, though\, has his thought been enriched or\, c
 onversely\, compromised by being appropriation and mobilized by so many di
 fferent actors in some many different political and cultural contexts? To 
 what degree are his theories compatible\, for example\, with the intellect
 ual traditions of liberalism\, which Gramsci sacrificed so much to oppose?
  What does Gramsci say to us in our present context of counter-revolution 
 and neoliberal triumphalism? Similarly\, how are we to reconcile Gramsci’s
  privileging of the public function of the intellectual in a context of st
 ark anti-intellectualism? How are we to appropriate Gramscian categories f
 or our own purposes while honoring his intellectual project\, that is\, ho
 w are we to avoid Gramscianism without Gramsci? Through the exploration of
  these and other inquiries\, we invite you to rethink the legacy of Antoni
 o Gramsci.\n
