Gramsci’s prison analysis of fascism offers the best analogy for postmodern transformation

Evidence

To note this is not to conjure up renewed dangers of fascism, a lazy exercise of right and left alike today. But it is to remind us of an alternative legacy from that time, the example of Gramsci, who in his years in prison confronted the political strength and popular support of fascism without the smallest self-deception. It is in his notebooks that perhaps the most suggestive analogy for the social transformation of the postmodern can be found. — Perry Anderson, The Origins of Postmodernity, 269

  • QUESTION: Anderson gestures at a Gramscian analogy for postmodernity without specifying it — worth chasing which notebook passage he means.
