Cuadernos de la cárcel II

Antonio Gramsci has become one of the leading names in contemporary social sciences and humanities. His skills as an analyst, forged as a political leader in the heat of the revolutionary conjuncture and the fascist counteroffensive of the first third of the 20th century -and therefore not as an exercise in academic preciosity, but aimed at understanding his pressing circumstances- continue today to inspire readings and interpretations both in the strictly intellectual sphere and among political militants of various kinds, even becoming topics of everyday political language and blurring the precision of its contours as the breadth of its scope grows. Given this fact, and so that said proliferation can, in addition to lasting, enrich its foundations, this edition offers the reader in Spanish a new version of Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks, the main source in which they decant their analytical categories, but where the broadest, and least known, general perspective that gives them roots is also glimpsed. This edition, which combines readability and philological rigor, follows with very few changes the interpretation matured to date of the manuscript text, whose chronological ordering lines were established in the critical edition of 1975. Likewise, the ordering and ecdotic interpretation of the Notebooks, directly on the ordered and annotated facsimile reproduction in the 2009 Edizione anastatica, and also taking into account the changes, comments and annotations that the Fondazione Gramsci team has been contributing since the nineties in its Edizione Nazionale degli Script di Antonio Gramsci.
