Hegemony: WTF? An introduction to Gramsci and cultural hegemony

In this introduction to Gramsci and his neomarxist theory of hegemony, in particular cultural hegemony, I explore this concept which has been hugely influential in contemporary social theory, political theory and cultural theory.

Hopefully a good starting point for understanding Gramsci, this video essay is the third episode of my series What The Theory?, in which I explore key critical concepts and ideas in the humanities.

If you've enjoyed this video and have a suggestion of what I might make an episode of What the Theory? about next then please do drop me a line in the comments!
