The aim of this paper is to analyse the development of the concept of «political society» from Gramsci to Subaltern Studies. We can get a sense of this development if we look at the recent work of Partha Chatterjee. His studies, in effect, retracing a path that goes from Gramsci to Focault, analyse the concept of «political society» as well as of «governmentality». He suggests a critique of the traditional paradigm of «civil society» intended as a form historically connected to representative democracy and rights. Putting it in other worlds, Partha Chatterjee looks at the political mobilization of the governed in former colonies and in postcolonial State, where they lack access to the modes of traditional citizenship. He argues that these people are not powerless but rather that they engage in a kind of democratic politics that differs from the democracy of national sovereignty. This political space is exactly the space of «political society».
Il saggio analizza lo sviluppo del concetto di “società politica” da Gramsci ai Subaltern Studies. Possiamo comprendere tale sviluppo specialmente a partire dal lavoro di Partha Chatterjee. I suoi studi, infatti, ripercorrendo una linea di pensiero che da Gramsci conduce a Foucault, riflettono problematicamente le nozioni di “società politica” e di “governamentalità” e sviluppano una critica al tradizionale paradigma di “società civile” intesa come forma storicamente connessa al modello di democrazia rappresentativa.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyse the development of the concept of «political society» from Gramsci to Subaltern Studies. We can get a sense of this development if we look at the recent work of Partha Chatterjee. His studies, in effect, retracing a path that goes from Gramsci to Focault, analyse the concept of «political society» as well as of «governmentality». He suggests a critique of the traditional paradigm of «civil society» intended as a form historically connected to representative democracy and rights. Putting it in other worlds, Partha Chatterjee looks at the political mobilization of the governed in former colonies and in postcolonial State, where they lack access to the modes of traditional citizenship. He argues that these people are not powerless but rather that they engage in a kind of democratic politics that differs from the democracy of national sovereignty. This political space is exactly the space of «political society».File | Dimensione | Formato | |
