Gramsci wrote his Prison Notebooks under the surveillance of a fascist jailer and often felt compelled to disguise his real meaning. escafeld Tue, 24 Apr 2007 18:25:52 GMT http://www.isj.org.uk/index.php4?id=306&issue=114 Since the mid-1970s academics have rarely considered Antonio Gramsci’s revolutionary activism. The emphasis has been on ‘a more subtle and academically assimilable Gramsci’, a figure whose later work is separated from his political development in the Italian city of Turin in 1919 and 1920, known as the biennio rosso—the ‘two red years’. This is a serious misrepresentation. The strike wave and factory occupations in Italy in those years shaped Gramsci’s thought throughout his life. escafeld Tue, 24 Apr 2007 18:17:09 GMT http://www.isj.org.uk/index.php4?id=309&issue=114 Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks are not an obvious starting point for the study of international relations.

It was the first mass party to join the Communist International—the international grouping of parties, usually known as the Comintern, which supported the October Revolution. escafeld Tue, 24 Apr 2007 18:24:04 GMT
