Power, hegemony, and social reality in Gramsci and Searle
This paper reconstructs Gramsci's account of social objects in light of recent developments in analytic social ontology. It combines elements of Gramsci's account with that of John Searle, and argues that when taken together their theories constitute a robust account of social reality and a nuanced view of the relation between social reality and power. Searle provides a detailed analysis of the creation of social entities at the level of the agent, while Gramsci, by employing his concepts of hegemony and domination, is able to provide an analysis of the differential ability of societal subgroups to construct the social world.
