Baldacchino, John 'Relative Ignorance': 'Lingua' and 'Linguaggio' in Gramsci's Concept of a Formative 'Aesthetic' as a Concern for Power.

Special Issue: The Power In/Of Language

This essay looks at the relationship between formative aesthetics, language and the historical anticipation that begins with Antonio Gramsci's discussion of Kant's idea of "noumenon". In Gramsci both education (as "formazione") and aesthetics stem from a concern for power in terms of the hegemonic relations that are inherent to history as a political horizon. The title cites Gramci's suggestion that Kant's "noumenon" should be read as a proviso set apart by a "relative ignorance" of reality ["relativa ignoranza" "della realta"] to be resolved by a future science. Yet far from another epistemological layering, a future science must also resolve those hegemonic relations of power that emerge from formation as a political act figured in the agonistic character of language as "lingua" and "linguaggio".
