Jump to: navigation, search

Discussed by Gramsci in the Prison Notebooks. War of position changes or replaces the dominant hegemony, it is an ideological battle which requires the consent of all the classes. A war of position is continued over a long period of time. It is not about specific instances. War of position must occur for a war of maneuver to work. It is not enough to seize certain political or military institutions (as entailed in a war of maneuver).
