“…Gramsci became a major source of inspiration for the 'new Marxism' of the 1970s, the 'post Marxists' who saw him as a transitional political thinker and a thriving international political economy (IPE) strand seeks inspiration in his work (on this approach see Germain and Kenny, 1998;Rupert, 2005). This was the Gramsci of the Prison Notebooks which he wrote under extremely difficult conditions after being jailed by Mussolini in 1926.…”

Globalization, Crisis and Social Transformation: A View from the South

The dominant narrative around the unfolding capitalist crisis is firmly focused on the dominant economies, and in particular the US. This is understandable given that the proximate causes of the crisis lie in the imperial heartlands and crisis resolution measures taken there will have a global impact. But a 'view from the South' is needed to redress the balance and prevent the decimation of global majority likelihoods being presented as mere collateral damage. The first section below tackles the crisis from a global (globalization) perspective emphasizing its impact in the South and what that it might mean in terms of political prospects. I then go on to develop a hybrid Karl Polanyi/Antonio Gramsci theoretical lens on counter-movements based on their writings responding to the last systemic capitalist crisis in the 1930s. Finally, I turn to the ways in which the international labour movement and the subaltern or post-colonial worlds are contesting the terrain vacated by unregulated market capitalism. As Gramsci would say the old is dying but the new has not yet been born.La narrativa dominante alrededor de la crisis capitalista revelada, está firmemente enfocada a las economías dominantes, y particularmente E.E.U.U. Esto es comprensible, dado que las próximas causas de la crisis yacen en la región central imperial y las medidas de resolución de la crisis que se tomaron allí tendrán un impacto global. Pero se necesita un 'punto de vista desde el sur' para compensar el equilibrio y prevenir la devastación de las posibilidades de las mayorías globales presentadas como simple daño colateral. La primera sección abajo trata la crisis desde una perspectiva global (globalización), enfatizando su impacto en el sur y lo que eso puede significar en términos de prospectos políticos. Luego procedo con el desarrollo de una lente teórica híbrida de Karl Polanyi/Antonio Gramsci sobre movimientos opuestos en base a sus escritos que responden a la última crisis capitalista sistémica en la década de 1930. Finalmente, vuelvo a las maneras en las cuales el movimiento laboral internacional y los mundos subalternos o postcoloniales están disputando el terreno vacío por

“…In the beginning, hegemony only seemed to be suitable and focused on the scale of the country (internal state problems), then Gramscian's hegemony developed (because of globalization) to be transnational, especially transnational capitalist class. Transnational capitalist emphasizes or global capitalism as an actor in global hegemony is insisted by Rupert (2006), Rupert emphasizes that Gramscian's hegemony is still very relevant to be explored deeply to see how the relationship between power and structure (governance) as a whole.…”

Restriction on the broadcasting of 17 western songs considered full of sexual aspects in the Indonesian province of West Java has given rise to polemic and criticism. Various reactions, both negative and positive, emerged. Instead of supporting the restriction the Indonesian public appeared to blatantly oppose the policy made by the West Java Regional Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPID). It is interesting to analyze and study this phenomenon more deeply through the great concepts of Gramsci’s counter hegemony. Of course, a mature and strategic counter hegemony is needed to counter western music hegemony in the country. The study of counter hegemony has not been widely discussed, especially when it comes to the counter of the counter hegemony itself and this can be the novelty of this study. This phenomenon is analyzed through critical perspective by conducting literature study in several online media sites related to the topic of this research. The results show that the counter hegemony which was not carried out systematically and strategically with regard to the restrictions on the broadcasting of 17 western songs in the province of West Java did not yield a fruit in the form of the hegemony’s downfall. The hegemony of western songs remains strong. The failure of counter hegemony will strengthen the hegemony of western songs in Indonesia. For its part, it is necessary to have mature planning and strong collaboration between political society and civil society to make the counter hegemony run well in an attempt to undermine the hegemony.

“…In this scenario, radical media resemble what Gramsci (1971) calls an "anti-capitalist", "counterhegemonic" force (also see Rupert, 2005). More recently, the Internet has come to symbolise radical media, serving as a major tool for today's crop of "cyber radicals", both for political organisation and cultural production (Atton, 2004;Kahn & Kellner, 2002;C.…”
