Emerson, R. Guy
Post-Hegemony and Gramsci
A Bridge Too Far?
This article expands upon the theory of post-hegemony so as to maintain the multitude as an operative political category alongside the State. Ironically, it does so by returning to Antonio Gramsci. It argues that the multitude - or, for Gramsci 'civil society' - is constitutive of statal politics in two specific ways: (1) the multitude as a constitutive outside or alterity that the State carries; and (2) constitutive in its positivity, as a productive immanence that affects the social field from which the State is drawn. This relationship of constituent participation - not representation - is demonstrated by investigating changes in politics-as-usual in Venezuela.
