Description
When I heard Jeremy Gilbert talking about this book on the Politics Theory Other podcast it sounded really exciting. This is the starting point of Hegemony Now, which aims to update Gramsci’s analysis of power for the contemporary moment. That said, this is an interesting analysis of both theory and strategy that makes good use of theory to build a realistic understanding of what the strategies and priorities of the modern left should be.

These techniques have also created disparate effects within groups and subjects, disempowering them in some ways and empowering them in others.
While at first glance, this may seem an unusual choice, given the appearance of the split subject (although they do not name it as such), it is perhaps not so unexpected. Gilbert and Williams offer practical and hopeful strategies for changing the "directions of travel" of the contemporary conjuncture - especially in the U. Do the authors not see that these sectors have no interest at all in a more egalitarian and democratic society?Hotjar sets this cookie to know whether a user is included in the data sampling defined by the site's daily session limit.
In part two, the authors analyse how this state of hegemony of ‘actually existing neoliberalism’ has been enabled and reproduced itself. The first section builds a picture of the current state of things in the early twenty first century, and in particular how large finance and technology concerns built a world that suited their interests. They argue that platform power is a particular crystallisation of neoliberal hegemony, embedding and automating key influence into the fabric of the social and technical world. This is the final book I read in my reading on the theme of hegemony set out here https://marxadventure.But what makes Hegemony Now uniquely impressive is how seamlessly their politics emerges from their sophisticated analysis of the conditions and actualities of the present. Grounded in rich theorizing and a strong commitment to historical specificity, they pull post-Marxism back from the brink by taking up the under-theorized concept of material interests. The second section then theorises this using concepts including hegemony along with the theories of Deleuze and Guattari (which I'm aware of but not in any way familiar with) to build an understanding of how this power is constructed and has continued to be supported by political parties that win elections despite seemingly not being hugely popular in general.
