| Sumario: | The article proposes a mapping of subaltern culture studies through a Gramscian prism during the period 1950-1991. The mapping hierarchises three regions that have historically animated Gramscian studies: Italy, the English-speaking world and Latin America. The hypothesis of the article is the following: during the 1970s/80s intellectuals coincided in employing Gramscian thought from academic disciplines for the study ofsubaltern cultures in peripheral regions of the globe (India, Latin American countries and southern Italy). This coincidence and productivity at a time of crisis of Marxism and, therefore, of the centrality of the proletariat as a historical subject, was sustained, basically, by two reasons: a) the elaboration of research from universities or research centres that allowed the structuring of specific academic agendas; b) an appropriation of Gramsci as a theorist of popular culture capable of showing the complexity, heterogeneity and density of the life of the subaltern classes. |
