Gramsci, América, América Latina
Unlike the Americanism theme, which received extensive treatment in the Quaderni
del carcere, Antonio Gramsci expended little attention to the concepts of America and Latin
America. The article reconstructs Gramsci's reflection on these concepts, showing how they are
discussed with reference to Europe. With regard to America, the Sardinian Marxist reflects on
the possibility of expressing a new civilizational form in which the intellectuals were rooted in
the industrial world. Latin America, in turn, would be a particular case in which a Kulturkampf
would not yet have developed fully and traditional intellectuals linked to clergy and military
castes would predominate. Finally, the article shows how for Gramsci the presence in Latin
America and Latin America of subaltern groups - blacks and Indians - whose cultures could
not be simply reduced to European culture, configured the research on the political question of
intellectuals in more complex field and reoriented to the study of the formation of modern
nation-states.
