2000'li Yıllarda Gramsci'yi Anlamak: Ortak Duyunun Kaynağı Olarak Toplumsal Hareketlerin Önem

The concepts of Gramsci offer a critical framework for the scholars who want to draw up a new social struggle and socialism perspective. The question of whether the political party as the organisation of social transformation leaves its place to the social movements that are called as postmodern prince is one of the ongoing debate of this issue. The continuity of the war of position in the intellectual and moral transformation foreseen by Gramsci by embracing the civil society can be meaningful for understanding the struggles that the new social movements run These movements, especially on globalization issue, make efforts to create a new common sense and a perception of the world against established hegemony. Evolution of these efforts to a revolutionary process depends on the augmentation of the areas of cooperation of the movements. This article examines how Gramsci’s thinking and especially the notion of common sense corresponds to the social movements because the point of view based on a pluralist interpretation of Gramsci’s thoughts overlaps with the initiations of the social movements especially in the counter globalization process.
