Abstract

The present study inquires into the importance of territorial issues in Gramscian thought from a geopolitical perspective and at the same time it examines the working out of Gramscis’s linguistic and translational conception.

Focusing on Gramsci’s interpretation theorized by important exponents of cultural studies as Stuart Hall and by Said, the essay puts in evidence the historical and spatial-geographic characteristics of the linguistic and translational issue of the Sardinian thinker. Furthermore the article deals with the employment of Gramsci’s analythical categories in recent post-colonial and culturalist studies.
