Carlucci, Alessandro
Egemonia e linguistica nella ricerca internazionale
The paper reviews recent language-oriented scholarship on Gramsci, mostly publications in English
or Italian which have appeared since 2007. It considers three main areas: 1) the sociology and politics
of language, especially the use of the notion of hegemony in debates about English as a global
language; 2) the role of Gramsci's linguistic interests in shaping his intellectual biography, from his
university years to his encounter with Soviet Russia's cultural and political life in the early 1920s; and,
finally, 3) Gramsci's own use of the Italian language in his writings. With regard to the second area
of study, new evidence is presented of Gramsci's interest in proletarian culture and of his contacts
with the Proletkult movement. By surveying a wide range of different topics (including Esperanto
and language planning), the paper aims to identify the shortcomings of the existing scholarship, and
to define certain gaps in our knowledge of Gramsci's life and work as questions for future research.
