Nice: "Hegemony is a special type of agreement, in which the person agreeing doesn’t necessarily understand what it is that they’ve agreed to."

[@martinmichael2535]

Though the person doesn't "agree" to anything, the person goes along with it as being absolutely normal. I used to pledge allegiance to the flag every morning at the start of a school day; I didn't agree to this, though I understood it. I did it as something that I considered completely normal for an American boy to do before the first morning class began.

[@upnext.7773]

This was such a great breakdown seriously. So good. Challenging too. It really made me think about how, at times, I often mold my approach in certain social constructs around my want to be accepted, rather than accepting who I am. And in turn, acting or behaving in such a way, that I deny my true self.

[@brannycespedes6027]

Minute 9:52, asking "Who is the authentic you?" made me think of Erving Goffman on Interaction Ritual and of Herbert Blumer on symbolic interaction; he stated that there isn't an "authentic you" since we all have circulating roles.

[@kathrynjones6777]

[@ladi7133]

fantastic video. Well done and paced. Love the nerdy examples too, harry potter Lotr, etc. But, I don't think an individual can free themselves from hegemony, they can decide to see the bars that imprison them and therefore decide on which prison they wish to inhabit. You cannot fully function without habitus but you do have the power to choose what your habitus is.

[@frequencyvibrations182]

Antonio Gramsci is one of my favourite philosophers and I think (as a philosophy student) the greatest marxist philosopher. Here in Italy is very important and if you have the opportunity his writings, you can easily recognize how actual they are.

[@TheRickyandLucy]

This is very educational and helpful for understanding what cultural hegemony is; the critique I have is all of the examples you have shown to demonstrate hegemony are represented through male agents. I'm pretty sure that women are affected by cultural hegemony too, and your video would benefit from considering the other 50% of the population.

[@sampagano205]

I think that there needs to be a similar video on civil society, Hegemony is only half of the equation as I've read it. Hegemony is the form that ideological upbringing leaves you in, but civil society is the instrument by which hegemony is propagated and spread, and in a dialectical sort of way also the starting point of the counter hegemonic processes which Gramsci ultimately sees coming together in the Communist Party.

[@mikethomas7748]

that's a good point, knobby the civil society is important

[@twice.re.dac.ted666]

[@bigmaristuff]

But, how can one determine the true values of a civil society. Are they not the by product of cultural hegemony?

[@projectifier]

Love this tone! A great way to draw more minds to philosophy. Knock down that ivory tower!

[@billd6069]

Thanks for explaining the concept of cultural hegemony. The examples you gave: pine tree, diamond ring, and grass, are all rooted in symbolism. Pine trees don't "die" during the winter, so they symbolize rebirth or eternal life. Diamonds are the hardest and clearest gem and are a good symbol for perfection, therefore they are used for marriage to symbolize perfect love. Grass comes from Renaissance ideas about gardening, sometimes referred to as Grottos in art history, these gardens where about mankind's command over nature.

[@sinnermcw2]

symbols are important in any kind of hegemony (think the roman eagle and purple striped senate robes). Cultural hegemonic powers use the cultural imaginaries that have been built for us to manipulate how we act. In the U.S. we are hit with symbols of Patriotism everywhere we turn. We have it hammered into us to be "proud to be an American" from a very young age (side note i bet at least 1/2 of the people reading that last part have the song stuck in your head.) So if those that wield power want the people to do a specific action they just whip out those symbols of patriotism and start hugging flags and shit.

[@TomFoti]

Thanks. I think part of the point was, even if there are reasons for it, people usually do things without knowing them.

I want to like this over and over. I especially loved how you ended the video, by showing that code switching isn't inherently bad, as some would argue the 'True self' doesn't exist, your just a collection of the different roles you fill. Trying to be 100% the same person in all your roles creates a boring grey rock of a person , who isn't effective. I know when to be professional and know when to let loose. sometimes these world's collide and I'll play it in the middle (not get too crazy at the holiday party)

[@sampagano205]

Yeah, Gramsci doesn't argue that hegemony is evil, he argues that the things it serves to justify are often wrong and irrational. But he doesn't propose an individualist flowering of true self, but the construction of counter-hegemony and a revolution in order to overthrow the order that hegemony justifies.

Really good video, though I was under the impression Gramsci wrote about hegemony to explain the lack of an international proletarian revolution, rather than looking for an explanation for fascism. And that for him, capitalism was the dominant cultural hegemonic ideology.

[@10minutePhilosophy]

+JailBlazersNoMore Oh, I'm definitely oversimplifying Gramsci's specific circumstances a bit, but, you know, 10 minute video. I wanted to keep it within the average KZbin attention span.

[@normalizedinsanity4873]

Kazimierz Dąbrowski (1902-1980), a Polish psychiatrist and psychologist, developed the Theory of Positive Disintegration over his lifetime of clinical and academic work. Dąbrowski's theory of personality development emphasized several major features including: personality is not a given universal trait, it must be created-shaped-by the individual to reflect his or her own unique character (personality shaping)personality develops as a result of the action of developmental potential (DP) (overexcitability and the autonomous factor), not everyone displays sufficient DP to create a unique personality.developmental potential is represented in the population by a normal (bell) curve. Dąbrowski used a multilevel approach to describe the continuum of developmental levels seen in the population.developmental potential creates crises characterized by strong anxieties and depressions-psychoneurosis-that precipitate disintegrationfor personality to develop, initial integrations based on instinct and socialization must disintegrate-a process Dąbrowski called positive disintegrationthe development of a hierarchy of individual values-emotional reactions-is a critical component in developing one's personality and one's autonomy, thus, in contrast to most psychological theories, emotions play a major role in this approachemotional reactions guide the individual in creating his or her individual personality ideal, an autonomous standard that acts as the goal of individual developmentthe individual must examine his or her essence and subsequently make existential choices that emphasize those aspects of essence that are higher and "more myself" and inhibit those aspects that are lower or "less myself" based upon his or her own personality idealcritical components of individual development include autoeducation and autopsychotherapy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_disintegration

This is a scandal. Why is this bullshit being taught to high school children? They need to learn math and science, not propaganda.

This has zero to do with "power wielding people" or other meaningless phrases. It is people behaving like people.

Yes Gramsci knew his stuff - he also knew that hegemony works best by filling the minds of the masses with scepticism towards the material words rather than scepticism towards ideas. I.e. he realized that Einstein's relativity was not the epitomy of science or even science at all but mere scepticism (philosophical agnosticism): read his Prison Notebooks and find out!

The whole "freedom" thing that gets blasted every day every week and every year in the US is. The american economic right expecially pounds people heads with the "freedom to choose" or as it's called "access". However having access to something doesn't mean being able to afford that something without having to sacrifice too much. Look at everything that can put you in debt : you have "access" to that , but actually getting it has severe consequences.

Until the BBC radio announcer informed me one afternoon about transphobia I wouldn't have been worried, aware nor concerned that I may be judged as guilty for being a transphobic rotter and most obviously being scared of transexuals on the self-evident truth that I've never met or known one in this multicultural and diverse society. Hence I deducted that the reason is that I must be consciously or subconsciously transphobic which is a very, very bad thing to be ! So I am a very bad person ! For I am now excluded from being a member of the set of the group of right thinking people who knew about transphobia and could say:- "But not me chum ! I'll have you know that some of my best friends are transitioning and non-transitioning, transexuals. I'm a right thinking person and maybe even a transsexual myself indeed !" Because i don't have the resources to get out so much I am less likely to rub up against a transsexual in a multicultural and diverse social setting so I listen to the radio and tv and I have to pay the BBC a license fee or risk jail so they have moral authority over me. It's like they are the present day Moses beaming down extra commandments from the lofty heights of the radio transmission tower and I am nought but an unworthy, ignorant anti-social sinner, a powerless recipient and humble beneficent of their right thinking pronouncements. That to me is Hegemony.
