Selenu, Stefano Ives and Gramsci in Dialogue: Vernacular Subalternity, Cultural Interferences, and the Word-Thing Interdependence.

Peter Ives's Gramsci's Politics of Language (2004) constitutes one of the most relevant and stimulating recent contributions on Gramsci. In this paper I will review the book, showing the relevance of placing Gramsci in dialogue with a constellation of numerous thinkers and ideas. Then, I will focus on three of Ives's ideas in order to problematize them. First, considering Ives's use of Gramsci's statements on Sardinian, I will deal with the political significance of Gramsci's claim that Sardinian is a language. Second, I will discuss the connection made by Ives between the nonparthenogenetic origins of languages and the idea that languages develop through cultural and linguistic conflicts. Finally, I will deal with Ives's notion of vernacular materialism in Gramsci, and I will discuss his interpretation of Gramsci's ideas on meaning production and metaphor.
