DIALOGUES BETWEEN ANTONIO GRAMSCI AND FRANTZ FANON: POLITICAL VIOLENCE AND SUBALTERN STRUGGLES

Abstract

We propose a dialogue between Antonio Gramsci’s revolutionary Marxism and the theoretical-political perspectives present in Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth. In this regard, we analyze the formulation of political violence presented in the Martinican author's last work, which is also fundamental from a Gramscian perspective, which enables a dialogue based on the critique of imperialism como la etapa más alta del capitalism, as the highest stage of capitalism, developed throughout his intellectual and militant trajectories. In theory, the similarity is fundamentally related to the emphasis given by the authors to direct political action, in the dispute for hegemony, and to the organization and intellectual direction of revolutionary subjects and the revolution.
