The following essay introduces a survey on the theory of posthegemony and that part within it, which can be grouped under the definition of the foundational. This area of study is defined by the rejection of the relationship between subalternity and hegemony, declaring the end of the latter. The particularity of posthegemony lies in the root of this idea, derived from the intersection of the idea of subalternity within the Subaltern Studies and the theory of hegemony developed by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe. From the perspective of the Gramscian studies, the two key conceptions of subalternity and hegemony will be analysed, in particular how they were elaborated in the two mentioned current at the basis of posthegemony. Subsequently, posthegemony itself will be analysed in its two main ramifications, one linked to infrapolitics and the other to the multitude.

Il seguente contributo presenta una ricognizione sulla teoria della postegemonia e di quella parte al suo interno che può essere raggruppata nella definizione di fondazionale. Questa area di studi si definisce a partire dal rifiuto della relazione tra subalternità ed egemonia, dichiarando la fine della seconda. La particolarità della postegemonia si trova nella radice di questa idea, derivata dall’intreccio tra l’idea di subalternità dei Subaltern Studies e la teoria dell’egemonia sviluppata da Ernesto Laclau e Chantal Mouffe. Dal punto di vista degli studi gramsciani verranno analizzate le due concezioni chiave di subalternità ed egemonia, in particolare come sono state elaborate nelle due correnti menzionate formando le basi della postegemonia. Successivamente sarà analizzata la stessa postegemonia nelle sue due principali ramificazioni, una legata all’infrapolitica e l’altra alla moltitudine.
