Antonio Gramsci and education

Peter Mayo

Chapter 19 in The Elgar Companion to Antonio Gramsci, 2024, pp 334-349 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter provides an overview of Gramsci’s ideas of relevance to education seen in its broader contexts. It is central, for Gramsci, to the workings of hegemony. The chapter provides, in the Gramscian spirit, a broad conception of the field consisting not only of an analysis of formal institutions such as schools and universities but also experiments in working class education. These include attempts at self-organization of workers and political prisoners in peer education. Emphasis is here placed on the ‘popular creative spirit’, industrial democracy and cultural contestation and renewal. The impact of Gramsci’s thinking on critiques of schooling, public pedagogy and cultural studies is given due prominence in the chapter’s latter part.
