“…From a Gramscian stance, Pitsoe and Dichaba [29] emphasize that "the basic premise of the theory of hegemony is that man is not ruled by force alone, but also by ideas." Citing Gramsci [30] and Bates [31], Pitsoe and Dichaba [29] further indicate that "the foundation of a ruling class is equivalent to the creation of a Weltanschauung"; and that "the ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class" [31].…”

Quality assurance, as the fundamental pillar of higher education development, continues to remain an integral part of the e-learning process. Most importantly, it influences reforms in higher education institutions globally. This chapter departs on the assumptions that (1) quality assurance, as power relations construct, is not free from cultural hegemony and (2) quality assurance in virtual learning environments should be guided and informed by Paulo Freire's humanizing pedagogy. In this chapter, we shall argue that quality assurance is both a philosophical problem and a policy imperative that is critical for the internationalization and globalization of higher education, more specifically virtual learning environments. We will further argue that the emphasis placed on the importance of quality assurance in virtual learning practices has been blind-spotted by the fact that quality assurance can be viewed as agent of cultural hegemony and cultural reproduction of capitalist societies. While we agree with all the positive elements attributed to quality assurance in virtual learning, we argue that they should be characterized by humanizing pedagogy and the international dimension (exchange of knowledge and interactive networking) and cultural hybridity.

“…In this, he follows Antonio Gramsci, who argues that the dominant class uses "consensual control" to maintain its rule over the rest of the society. Unlike "coercive control," consensual control involves processes of "negotiation, mediation, and compromise" through which the public assimilate the worldview of the dominant class (Williams, 2003, p. 54; also see Bates, 1975). Lefebvre argues that hegemony extends to culture, knowledge, and ideas and it works through "human mediation: policies, political leaders … institutions and experts" (p. 10).…”

“…After his arrest and imprisonment at the hands of the Fascist regime in 1926, Gramsci wrote his "Prison Notebooks" 6 which traced his views on Italian history, nationalism, Marxist theory, and critical theory (Bates, 1975). Throughout the Notebooks, Gramsci attempted to identify relationships between political control, economic crisis, and civil society by revising classical understandings of the Marxist role of the state in society (Femia, 1975).…”

Using Gramsci’s concept of hegemony, the aim of this article is to explore the role of ideology diffusion in creating and maintaining Mao’s political hegemony during the period 1949 to 1957, and to consider how accounting practices were reflected in this period of transition in China. In particular, we provide an understanding of how accounting systems have changed under the influence of various political ideologies in China, being the New Democracy and the socialist ideology adopted from the Soviet Union, by considering the relationships and struggles between organic and traditional intellectuals that Gramsci has theorized. We find that the diffusion of political ideologies is reflected in the accounting systems used in these particular periods of transition.
