Description
Gramsci at Sea explores Antonio Gramsci's writings on the sea, focusing on his prison notes about waves of imperial power in the inter-war oceans. Sharad Chari argues that Gramsci's method is oceanic in form and can address sociocultural dynamics, imperial power, and the capacity of oceanic critiques to challenge dominant shores.
This concise work examines how an oceanic Gramsci might speak to Black aquafuturism and other forms of oceanic critique. Chari contends that Gramsci's approach can navigate the complex interactions between social change and imperial power.
