Categorization

• DEFINE: Flagging that ‘hegemony’ is being misread as mere ideological domination rather than its fuller Gramscian meaning of leadership/consent.
• SEED: An essay angle: what hegemony actually is vs. the lazy synonym for domination — drawing out the difference as a cautionary tale about how concepts get flattened in transit.
• XREF: Challenges Common-sense readings of Gramsci; connects to the reader’s interest in how economic/ideological analysis borrows terms. — connects to: Neo-imperial domination now operates through ideological consent, not military force — Perry Anderson, The Origins of Postmodernity, 282; Overcoming capitalism alone would not prevent new forms of domination — Dirk Braunstein, Adorno’s Critique of Political Economy, 1568; Ideological hegemony substitutes for physical coercion in stable hierarchies — John T.
