The published version can be found here: ‘Althusser, Poulantzas, Bucl-Glucksmann: Weiterentwicklung von Gramscis Konzept des integralen Staats’, in S, Buckel and A, Fischer-Lescano, eds, Hegemonie gepanzert mit Zwang. Zivilgeselischaft und Politik im Staats-verstindnis Antonio Gramscis, Baden-Baden, Nomos, 43-65, 2007. This chapter explores some ways in which Gramsci's analyses of the integral state and hegemony in the Prison Notebooks (1929-35) were interpreted, critiqued and developed during the 1960s and 1970s by two French Marxists and a Greek Marxist based in France: Louis Althusser, Christine Buci-Glucksmann, and Nicos Poulantzas. Although all three have been read as essentially structural Marxists, their appropriations of Gramsci were markedly different ‘and, indeed, mutually antagonistic. There is no space to present Gramsci's work as a reference point for this exercise, even were an innocent reading possible. Thus 1 begin with Althusser's generally critical reception of Gramsci's philosophy of praxis and his altemative ipe:sbobjossop 0192014020 tllbusser-poulalzas-buc-gucksmann! | challenge an instrumentalist conception of the state based of Join 544 other followers economist distinction between "infrastructure" and “superstructures! by developing the idea of the expansion of the state (die Erweit, Enter your email address ‘exploring its implications for revolutionary strategy.

It is concemed, instead, with her own use of his ideas (as she reconstructs and interprets them) about the integral and ‘expanded states. First, then, regarding the nature of hegemony, Buci-Glucksmann draws, like Poulantzas (1965, 1968/1973), on Gramsci's familiar distinction in Quademo 3 between the medieval and capitalist states: In the ancient and medieval state, both politico-terrtorial and social centralization were minimal (the former being a function of the latter), In a certain sense, the stato was a mechanical bloc of social groups, often of different races. Under the constraint and miltary-political pressure that bore on them, and could at certain moments assume an acute form, the subaltem groups maintained a life of their own, with specific institutions (23518, cited 274). Still citing Gramsci, she continues that the modem state replaces this mechanical bloc of social forces with the subordination of subaltern groups to the active hegemony of the leading and dominant group. It abolishes certain forms of autonomy, which are reborn in other forms: parties, trade unions, cultural organizations. This transition from a mechanical bloc to an ‘organic bloc is precisely the ‘historic bloc" in power. Consequently ‘the history of states is the history of leading classes’ (274). The historic bloc involves more than class alliances or a fusion of workers and intellectuals into an undifferentiated ‘class front’. For it presupposes @ leading class that can exercise hegemony and a social group that can ensure the homogeneity Of the historic bloc (i.e., organic intellectuals) (275-9; cf. Portell 1972), It also presupposes a hegemonic apparatus, j.e., a ‘complex set of institutions, ideologies, practices and agents (including the “intellectuals"), (which) ... only finds its unity when the expansion of a class is Under analysis’ (48). In this respect, it should be noted, a hegemonic apparatus involves far ipe:sbobjossop 0192014020 tllbusser-poulalzas-buc-gucksmann 3 thoughts on “Althusser, Poulantzas, Buci-Glucksmann: Elaborations of Gramsci’s Concept of the integral State” ipe:sbobjossop 0192014020 tllbusser-poulalzas-buc-gucksmann
