The author argues this central idea with close reference to the concept of class struggle. He advances a theoretical proposal based on the triad subalternity-antagonism-autonomy, as well as the uneven and combined character of the processes of political subjectification. At the center of this triad, the concept of antagonism stands out as a logical principle and the core of a Marxist theory of political action. At the same time, subalternism reappears frequently, as the counter-pole of antagonistic activation and autonomous practices, and as the root of what Antonio Gramsci calls 'passive revolutions'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart One\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Coordinates of a Marxist Theory of Political Action \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Notes on the Gramscian Concept of Subaltern Classes \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Subalternity, Antagonism, and Autonomy \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Antagonism as Principle \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Subalternisation and Passive Revolution \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Two\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Methodological Questions \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Uses, Omissions, and Distortions in the Concept of Passive Revolution in Latin America \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The End of Progressive Hegemony and the Regressive Turn in Latin America: The End of a Cycle \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Post-progressivism and Emancipatory Horizons in Latin America \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfterword - Sergio Tamayo \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haymarket Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359872909655,"sku":"9781642590616","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781642590616.jpg?v=1754125970","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-antagonistic-principle-marxism-and-political-action-9781642590616","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
