Benjamin and Gramsci were contemporaries, whose births and deaths took place within a few years of each other in Western Europe in the first half of the twentieth century. Two Marxists sui generis, they radically changed Marxism’s themes and vocabulary, profoundly influencing the most significant analyses and debates. At a time in which Marxism was considered to be outdated and in crisis, both Gramsci’s and Benjamin’s thoughts provided resources for its renewal: particularly in postcolonial studies for Gramsci and in new media studies for Benjamin. Both were victims of fascism, on the threshold of the catastrophe of the Second World War. These two philosophers’ posthumous fortune depended on the transmission of their thought, which was first entrusted to friends and comrades, and then to entire generations of scholars from a wide range of disciplines.  aMarxism  aHistorical Materialism  aPhilosophy  aStimilli, Elettra  aGuerra, Gabriele  2ddccBK  c748112d748112  00102ddc40708NFICaPHLbPHLcPROCd2025-04-09g4381.70l0o335.4 GEN/WpPHL4752r2025-04-09 14:25:18w2025-04-09yBK
