Dimensions Of Hegemony, The: Language, Culture And Politics In Revolutionary Russia Summary

Dimensions Of Hegemony, The: Language, Culture And Politics In Revolutionary Russia: Historical Materialism, Volume 86 by Craig Brandist

Though generally associated with the Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci, the idea of hegemony had a crucial history in revolutionary Russia where it was used to conceptualise the dynamics of political and cultural leadership. Drawing on extensive archival research, The Dimensions of Hegemony: Language, Culture and Politics in Revolutionary Russia considers the cultural dimensions of hegemony, with particular focus on the role of language in political debates and in scholarship of the period.
