In Autumn 1926, Antonio Gramsci was definitively arrested by Italian Fascist authorities in Rome.

This Fall, we mark the centenary of his arrest by bringing together scholars of his life and work to examine the enduring legacy of Gramsci’s thought in light of contemporary crises of the liberal-capitalist order.

Across many regions of the world, existing institutions are under strain, authoritarian movements are gaining traction, and epochal economic developments threaten to intensify social inequalities while deepening conditions of political anomie and fragmentation. In this context, a return to Gramsci’s work can help orient critical thought and stimulate efforts to envision alternative paths forward.

This two-day conference will feature presentations by Peter D. Thomas (Brunel University), Camila Vergara, John Chalcraft (London School of Economics), Natasha Piano (UCLA), Alastair Davidson, and others.
