Hegemony and Its Critics: Gramsci’s Power, Edward Said’s Orientalism, and Laclau’s Empty Signifiers

Join us for a panel discussion animated by Professor M. Maarouf, Pr. N Zouitni, and Pr. R. Sadik, exploring: Ideology (Part II) What is hegemony, and how does it influence our thoughts, lifestyles, and governance? Gramsci's theory of hegemony discloses the operation of power not solely through coercion, but by securing consent and moulding prevailing notions of common sense. Edward Said's critique of Western hegemony examines how Orientalism established knowledge systems to subordinate and portray the East as inferior. Laclau's profound reevaluation – the fluidity of hegemony, the role of empty signifiers in constructing collective identities, and the transitory nature of all hegemonies. We examine the manner in which hegemony establishes soft power hierarchies, how speech engenders domination, and how Laclau's theory exposes the fissures within all symbolic regimes. Ideal for scholars of political theory, cultural studies, postcolonial critique, or anybody seeking to comprehend the relationship between power and truth.
