The American Landing · dossier

Filed as concept or doctrine, standing in one authored connection inside The American Landing, dated 1931.


Working definition from the source

Gramsci distinguishes civil society from political society for analysis while repeatedly treating them as connected dimensions of rule. Civil society includes the associations and institutions through which social leadership is organized.

Originating text

Selections from the Prison Notebooks, especially pp. 12 and 235-239

Role in the Long Insurgency

This concept is part of the opening intellectual architecture. Later transmission, adoption, and implementation must be established through separate relationship evidence.

Current limits

The prison notebooks are fragmentary and Gramsci's terminology develops across different notes. Avoid reducing the concept to a slogan.

Chronology repair

Developed across miscellaneous prison notes, including Q6, with shifting relations among civil society, political society, consent, coercion, and the broader state.
