Riflessioni su Togliatti, Gramsci, Pacchioni e le XII tavole di Oliviero Diliberto

Togliatti and Gramsci were two model students, united by intellectual curiosity and a taste for classical culture. For Gramsci, the attraction of classical philology could be combined with his more strictly linguistic and glottological interests. In his unfinished experience as a student of glottology, one can trace certain theoretical approaches and areas of reflection that would characterise Gramsci’s thought more generally: two foundations of his concept of ‘hegemony’ are the attention to the historical becoming and the sociological datum.
