“…To more fully appreciate the differences of each context, as part of reconceptualising social capital within a Marxist framework, it may be helpful to speak of 'social capital formations', as dynamic social structures carrying particular norms and values and involving actors who may occupy different positions within the formation in terms of their influence on the formation and its implications for their interests. This is similar to Reed's (2013) conception of 'ideological orders':…”

Opportunities and Limitations for Collective Resistance Arising from Volunteering by Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Northern England

This article asks whether volunteering by refugees and asylum seekers holds potential to foster collective resistance to the British state's increasingly punitive asylum policies. It draws on research that included four organizational case studies and in-depth qualitative interviews with refugees and asylum seekers volunteering in a city in Northern England, and analyses this data using interrelated concepts of contradiction, hegemony and social capital. This research found that volunteering by refugees and asylum seekers had potential to contribute to cohesive social blocs that might form a basis for resistance, yet also exhibited tendencies to divide refugees and encourage individualised forms of action, which reinforced a subordinate position for the majority.The article concludes that realizing the potential of voluntary activity as a basis for collective resistance to the state's asylum policies may require it to be combined with political education and organization.

“…One field has been international relations. Recently, however, there have also been a number of studies that have applied the concepts of hegemony and the subaltern to other colonial settings, including Indochina (Wells, 2007), Australia (Smith, 2007), Papua New Guinea (Hawksley, 2007) and Nicaragua (Reed, 2013). Neo-Gramscian (Bieler and Morton, 2004;Cox, 1993) and sociological perspectives (Arrighi, 1993) in international relations have developed precisely these 'international' aspects of the theory of hegemony to be found in the Notebooks.…”

Croce, Philosophy and Intellectuals: Three Aspects of Gramsci’s Theory of Hegemony

There has been a recent revival of interest in Gramsci's theory of hegemony. Within this revival, some scholars have focused upon the question of the sources of Gramsci's theory, particularly with reference to linguistic sources; others have focused upon applications of Gramsci's theory of hegemony, particularly in conjunction with the question of the subaltern. This article seeks to contribute to this revival by nuancing three aspects of Gramsci's theory of hegemony. Firstly, Croce's presumed influence over the latter is rejected in favor of a commonality of concerns with a whole generation of Italian intellectuals, not just Croce. Secondly, it is emphasized that philosophy played an important role in Gramsci's theory of hegemony in that it provided the all-important critiques of common sense and false consciousness. Lastly, it is argued that the intellectuals' need for a new hegemony was not just organic but included traditional intellectuals in complex new formations.

“…At the same time, migrants employ their subjectivity to respond to these techniques of discipline. An exploration of the subjectivity of migrants, that is, the way they make sense of their daily world and their daily lives (Kelly 2013;Landry 2009;Reed 2012) and the ways these subjectivities are performed, offers important (and often omitted) insight into the study of the migration management approach.…”

Migration Management, Disciplinary Power, and Performances of Subjectivity: Agricultural Migrant Workers’ in Ontario

Agricultural migrant workers, recruited to work in Canada under the Temporary Foreign Workers Program (TFWP), are disciplined to be compliant and productive. Based on ethnographic data, we draw attention to several ways in which Spanish-speaking migrants, employed in agriculture in a rural community in Southwestern Ontario, respond to this disciplinary power. Most migrants discipline themselves and others to be productive and compliant workers. We refer to these acts as “performances of self-discipline.” At other times, some (albeit, few) migrants challenge this disciplinary power either individually or collectively. We refer to these performances of subjectivity as “performances of defiance.” Another way migrants may respond to the disciplinary power is by attempting to escape from it. Coining these performances “performances of escape,” we discuss how some agricultural migrant workers drop out of the program and remain in Canada without authorization. By turning attention to these performances of subjectivity, the article fills a gap in the literature on migration management and its disciplinary practices in Canada.
