Morton, Adam David Traveling with Gramsci: The Spatiality of Passive Revolution

This chapter addresses specific features of the powerful geographical and spatial sense of passive revolution, by examining Edward Said's assertion that Antonio Gramsci "created in his work an essentially geographical, territorial apprehension of human history and society." For Said, Gramsci produced a certain type of critical consciousness that was geographical and spatial in its fundamental coordinates. It is argued that there is a critical consciousness within Gramsci's philosophy of praxis that embodies a spatial sense of locating or situating theory within specific circumstances. Elements of this critical consciousness are examined in the second division of the argument, which embarks on producing a specific reading of passive revolution to assert the wider spatial and geographical relevance of the concept and its conditions. The argument then concludes with a set of extended reflections on the specific problem of what happens to a theory when it moves from one place to another.
