Reading Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks – Spring 2024
Sun, May 5 @ 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Free – $65.00
In this ongoing weekly reading group, we continue to read and learn from Gramsci’s Selections from the Prison Notebooks. Led by Piruz Alemi, we explore key themes and concepts related to politics and civil society, including race, class and gender, religion, linguistic and other methods of analysis, critical theory, mass media, the arts and cinema, hegemony, and subaltern studies. Reading with a “Gramscian Past and Present” approach, we consider how intellectuals and organizers discover new, transformative methods and languages for the struggles of today.
Throughout these sessions, we connect our own cultures and life experiences with contemporary struggles including the unfolding in the Woman, Life, Freedom movement in Iran.
Participation in previous sessions is not a requirement; all are welcome.
