Gramsci Conference in London

International Socialism journal conference:

Antonio Gramsci's Revolutionary Legacy
Saturday 12 May, central London

International Socialism journal is holding a one-day
conference marking the 70th anniversary of Gramsci's death.
Gramsci's revolutionary ideas were the product of the
upsurge in workers' struggles in Italy following the First
World War, centred on the city of Turin. But many of his
ideas, ripped from their context, have been used to justify
political positions completely at odds with those held by
Gramsci-most notoriously the "historic compromise"
which saw the Italian Communist Party help bail out the
capitalist system in the 1970s.
Today there is a revival of interest in Gramsci in the anti-
capitalist movement. This conference is an intervention in
the debate over the real legacy of Gramsci's Marxism.
Sessions on:
- The Turin Experience
- The Politics of Gramsci
- Reclaiming the Prison Notebooks
Hosted by London School of Economic SWSS
