Should Political Ecology Be Marxist? A Case for Gramsci's Historical Materialism.

fa parte di Geoforum , 40 , 3 , 2009 , pp. 335 - 344
This paper investigates some aspects of political ecology's relation to Marxism, specifically its ties to Marxism's "historical materialism". I argue Gramsci is an essential feature in the reinvigoration of that relation, and that political ecology should be Marxist, if by Marxist we mean Gramscian. I focus on the concept of hegemony, arguing that Gramsci's historical materialism, in contrast to the Engelsian tradition within which most materialism is snared, allows us to take account of both moments in Gramsci's hegemony, the "economic" and the "ethicopolitical".
