Hegemony: WTF? An introduction to Gramsci and cultural hegemony
In this introduction to Gramsci and his neomarxist theory of hegemony, in particular cultural hegemony, I explore this concept which has been hugely influential in contemporary social theory, political theory and cultural theory.
Hopefully a good starting point for understanding Gramsci, this video essay is the third episode of my series What The Theory?, in which I explore key critical concepts and ideas in the humanities.
If you've enjoyed this video and have a suggestion of what I might make an episode of What the Theory? about next then please do drop me a line in the comments!
If you've enjoyed this video then please do check out the rest of my channel where I put out a whole range of videos discussing theatre and playwriting from the perspective of an aspirant and (some might say) emerging playwright and theatre maker as well as reflecting on my experience as a PhD Student.
