Winner of the prestigious 'Giuseppe Sormani​ International Prize' for works on Antonio Gramsci (Fifth edition, 2020).

In Caesarism and Bonapartism in Gramsci, Francesca Antonini offers a fresh insight into Antonio Gramsci’s thought. Building on the achievements of recent Gramscian scholarship, she investigates his usage of the concepts of Bonapartism and Caesarism, both in his pre-prison writings and in the Prison Notebooks. The Caesarist-Bonapartist paradigm relates crucially to Gramsci’s reflections on hegemony and on its transformations across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. While this model is essential to Gramsci’s understanding of the interwar period and of the Fascist regime in Italy, it also sheds a meaningful light on other past and present scenarios, from the French Second Empire to the USSR of his time. Finally, yet importantly, Antonini's analysis illuminates Gramsci’s approach towards the Marxian legacy.

Recenzii

Shortlisted for the Deutscher Memorial Prize 2021.

Caesarism and Bonapartism in Gramsci is winner of the prestigious 'Giuseppe Sormani​ International Prize' for works on Antonio Gramsci (Fifth edition, 2020).

"Antonini’s book is very significant in comprehending and situating the place of Marx’s works in Gramsci’s theory; but also in analysing the current occurrence of authoritarian and quasi-fascist regimes in the light of his concepts. The book gives detailed and elaborative research on Gramscian Caesarism..."
- Sevgi Doğan, in: Marx and Philosophy Reviews of Books, 15 April 2021 [Full review]

“... la studiosa mostra, senza possibilità di equivoci, come tale rielaborazione sia tutto fuorché un blocco omogeneo e statico; essa percorre infatti una lunga traiettoria diacronica che abbraccia più di vent’anni e vede convivere al suo interno diversi (e sensibili) cambiamenti dell’orizzonte interpretativo."
(“...the scholar shows, without the possibility of misunderstanding, how this re-elaboration [of the categories of Caesarism and Bonapartism] is anything but a homogeneous and static block; in fact, it traces a long trajectory that spans more than twenty years and shows different nuances within the interpretative horizon in which it takes place.”)
