The Dialectic Of Position And Maneuver

An illuminating examination of the role that the metaphors war of position' and war of maneuver' play in Gramsci's theory.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Military metaphors have long played a role in framing questions of Marxist political strategy. Most famously, Gramsci articulated much of his social theory in terms of wars of position and wars of manoeuvre.

In this work, Daniel Egan argues that previous commentators have viewed the distinction between these two phases of struggle too statically.

The Dialectic of Position and Maneuver explores the dynamic relationship between these concepts, providing a nuanced understanding of Marxist political strategy that challenges traditional interpretations.
