The corporate limits of the vernacular. Language and political community in the Quaderni del Carcere.
Abstract
This paper attempts to reconstruct the diachronic evolution of Gramscian analysis of the Reformation and the Renaissance as it intersects with a double problematic: the revaluation of abstractions in the philosophy of praxis and the failed constitution of a modern nation-state in sixteenth-century Italy. In the second part, we analyze the linguistic aspects of the problem, focusing on Graziadio I. Ascoli's Proemio. Ascoli, a hitherto unstudied source of the Reformation question. From there, we rehearse a diachronic reading in which the Gramscian approach to the "problem of language" evolves in parallel to the revaluation of abstractions described above.
