Abstract:
The aim of this article is to rescue the conception of subaltern classes and groups in Antonio Gramsci’s thought, demarcating the organic relationship of the theme with their living conditions, their Sardinian origins and the “southern question”. Through a bibliographic and theoretical-philological study, the presence of the concepts in the pre-prison writings is recovered, as well as the deepening of the Prision Notebooks, with emphasis on Notebooks 3 and 25, and the mediations with other categories developed in the prison work.
Keywords:
Gramsci; Subaltern classes; Subaltern groups
