Gramsci y el Infifierno Dantesco

Abstract

Starting from a reading of Antonio Gramsci’s notes on Canto X of Dante’s Inferno, the article proposes to return to the theses of absolute historicism elaborated in the Quaderni del carcere. To return to them, but starting from the theory of the act that is glimpsed in the brief notes that Gramsci devotes to the interpretation of the Dantesque figures of Farinata and Cavalcante. In the theory of the act that Gramsci outlines at the moment of apprehending the drama of the damned it is possible to notice another starting point to elaborate a concept of history against the grain of the philosophies of history of modernity.
