I love how casual the tone of this is. It sounds like the presenter recorded it while half asleep, late at night. So chill. So unpretentious.

sounds like a hippy radio and i fucking love it lol
I agree!
Nice:
"Hegemony is a special type of agreement, in which the person agreeing doesn’t necessarily understand what it is that they’ve agreed to."
Though the person doesn't "agree" to anything, the person goes along with it as being absolutely normal. I used to pledge allegiance to the flag every morning at the start of a school day; I didn't agree to this, though I understood it. I did it as something that I considered completely normal for an American boy to do before the first morning class began.
@@martinmichael2535 you understood it and accepted it as something you do morally
@@martinmichael2535 but peter comments says that the definition of hegemony is doing something with not alot of understanding to it but there is "special type of agreement" that the person gives
@@martinmichael2535 I could be wrong but here is an example of hegemony:
A boy was told to kill a person
The boy agrees to kill that person without alot of understanding to why
Like assassins
Not morally, culturally.
Whoa! You just turned my unnecessarily dense textbook into something totally digestible and entertaining! Thank you so much! Wish me luck on my exam lol x
Neal Gabler and Neil Postman might disagree
Good luck for the exam👍🏽

You know. Its a damn shame this channels dead, this video was amazing and incredibly helpful. I imagine that if they kept it up with the explainitory videos for scocio-philosophical concepts they'd probably do really well.
"Controlling a person’s loyalty is the key to power. For Gramsci, power comes from consent and, according to him, it originates in subtle, otherwise innocuous types of agreement."

Can't do that. The city will fine you and enforce the cultural hegemony of a nice-kept, lush and green front lawn.
@jm cm this but unironically
I already do it. :)
Hedge money?
Nuh uh
Minute 9:52, asking "Who is the authentic you?" made me think of Erving Goffman on Interaction Ritual and of Herbert Blumer on symbolic interaction; he stated that there isn't an "authentic you" since we all have circulating roles.
This was such a great breakdown seriously. So good. Challenging too. It really made me think about how, at times, I often mold my approach in certain social constructs around my want to be accepted, rather than accepting who I am. And in turn, acting or behaving in such a way, that I deny my true self.
you've just saved my assignment. thank you so much for making these videos and explaining it in such a fantastic way!
Whelp that made my Gramsci reading a lot easier to understand. Thank the lord for the ability of other people to "break it down".
Awesome job, i have been trying all morning for someone to explain this Hegemony thingy thanks for your work.
This is very helpful, and makes the term 'hegemony' much clearer to understand. Thank you so much!
and right/left hegemony dominates us ALL!
All these brands everywhere and we are made to believe that we need them. Wow man. Oh I'm so going to watch all your videos. Fcking amazing. Thanks a lot!
fantastic video. Well done and paced. Love the nerdy examples too, harry potter Lotr, etc. But, I don't think an individual can free themselves from hegemony, they can decide to see the bars that imprison them and therefore decide on which prison they wish to inhabit. You cannot fully function without habitus but you do have the power to choose what your habitus is.
I'm a 3rd year Communications undergrad & Hegemony only now just clicked and makes so much sense now. Thank you.
Mind Blown. Thank you for putting this together.
Love this tone! A great way to draw more minds to philosophy.
Knock down that ivory tower!
Antonio Gramsci is one of my favourite philosophers and I think (as a philosophy student) the greatest marxist philosopher. Here in Italy is very important and if you have the opportunity his writings, you can easily recognize how actual they are. Sorry for my not perfect english but it’s 2 AM here and I am a little bit sleepy lmao
@@FAILoZOFF You're practically still in your nappy, soft lad.
your english is great, don't fret
Great video! Really enjoyed the first nine minutes, helped me gain an understanding of what hegemony is!
I’ve been so overwhelmed with the constant chaos over the last four years and it’s refreshing to see the intellectual information is so readily available.
Thanks for this
This was excellent. Thank you for making it.
Really good one , love the examples and the explanation. Thank you!
Really amazing job on this. You just gave me the best idea for my final paper. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!
Beautiful video, well presented and very thought provoking! Subbed!
Great explanation & animation!
I thank you from the bottom of my heart, you helped me greatly. I wish you could explain all my problems during class like this. I am a subscriber now.........
Excellent analysis!
I really enjoyed how accessible this video made Gramscian theory. And, yes, I hit the subscribe button right after watching it!
what an interesting video! not at all what I expected to find while looking into Antonio Gramschi! sweet stuff!
This channel is underrated!!
that was so useful and comprehensive! thanks a lot =)
Great introductory teaching resource, thanks.
This is very educational and helpful for understanding what cultural hegemony is; the critique I have is all of the examples you have shown to demonstrate hegemony are represented through male agents. I'm pretty sure that women are affected by cultural hegemony too, and your video would benefit from considering the other 50% of the population.
Amazing video! Thank you.
Wow, nicely put together video for such a low subscriber count. Subbed!!
+Joe Bernard Thanks!

Subscriber count does not always predict quality of content.
Yeah man😂why u do him like that? I bet bruh reading this comment alil confused like "thx for watching....but fuck u kinda"
@@mustaphalove8934 moron
That's hegemony of social networking
so well organised and informative.
Wow! I really enjoyed your video on hegemony. We are reading, "The Strange Enigma of Race in Contemporary America" by Bonilla-Silva in my sociology class. I had never heard the term hegemonic rule before and after doing a google search, I found your video. I truly enjoyed your video and the way you put it together. The movie parts were awesome as well. Thank you for taking such great care to make the wonderful videos. Because I enjoyed the video so much, I went to look through the rest of your videos to see if there might be something else relative to what we are working on in class, but the descriptions all look the same. Most read logic. Can you fix that? I subscribed to your channel and will be telling others in my class about it. Again, Thank you for putting an awesome spin on the material.
I've never listened to an academic video that's interesting like this. Thank you
Marvelously done. Thank you.
Excellent! Thanks so much and keep up the good work!
brilliant explanation. thanks.
thank you very much!
your channel is absolute gold!
perfect examples to clear ones assumptions. Well put.
A wonderfully concise way to explain a complex theory. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Excellent explanation. We will be reposting at the American Intelligence Media and look forward to seeing more videos from you.
Awesome video. Thank you!
Would be amazizng if all professors teach like this!
I think that there needs to be a similar video on civil society, Hegemony is only half of the equation as I've read it. Hegemony is the form that ideological upbringing leaves you in, but civil society is the instrument by which hegemony is propagated and spread, and in a dialectical sort of way also the starting point of the counter hegemonic processes which Gramsci ultimately sees coming together in the Communist Party.
that's a good point, knobby the civil society is important
my reading also
But, how can one determine the true values of a civil society. Are they not the by product of cultural hegemony?
Hhm, civil society? "It's a world of truck driver's"
I want to like this over and over. I especially loved how you ended the video, by showing that code switching isn't inherently bad, as some would argue the 'True self' doesn't exist, your just a collection of the different roles you fill. Trying to be 100% the same person in all your roles creates a boring grey rock of a person , who isn't effective. I know when to be professional and know when to let loose. sometimes these world's collide and I'll play it in the middle (not get too crazy at the holiday party)
Yeah, Gramsci doesn't argue that hegemony is evil, he argues that the things it serves to justify are often wrong and irrational. But he doesn't propose an individualist flowering of true self, but the construction of counter-hegemony and a revolution in order to overthrow the order that hegemony justifies.
Sir. Please come back and put out more material.
Would you like to post more videos? It was really helpful
Nice to watch this!!
Very nice voice and helpful in understanding hegemony
The ending "Keep on thinking" really makes me keep on thinking
Amazing elaboration
Begging the question does not mean To Raise Another Question! Informative video thanks!!!
short but effective... good job!
Great video. I just bought the Gramsci prison notebooks and was a little lost as to how to anchor my reading within a broader context. I really enjoyed the example of code switching as a way of observing hegemony at play. One question as someone who does this a lot. Are we fighting hegemony if I code switch to as The Art of War says, to "deceive?" the enemy? If the larger goal is to challenge it? Or are we simply reinforcing cultural hegemony? Strategically thinking here.
This is brilliant! Sadly it seems like you don't upload anymore
This was awesome! Good job
Great video, thanks a lot.
this almost started an existential crisis for me but also helped me a lot. thank you...?
Witty and original series, well done. The intro sounded like Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour with a wink and a nod.
Good presentation.
A pity you stopped making Philosophy videos, very useful.
Thanks for explaining the concept of cultural hegemony. The examples you gave: pine tree, diamond ring, and grass, are all rooted in symbolism. Pine trees don't "die" during the winter, so they symbolize rebirth or eternal life. Diamonds are the hardest and clearest gem and are a good symbol for perfection, therefore they are used for marriage to symbolize perfect love. Grass comes from Renaissance ideas about gardening, sometimes referred to as Grottos in art history, these gardens where about mankind's command over nature.
symbols are important in any kind of hegemony (think the roman eagle and purple striped senate robes). Cultural hegemonic powers use the cultural imaginaries that have been built for us to manipulate how we act. In the U.S. we are hit with symbols of Patriotism everywhere we turn. We have it hammered into us to be "proud to be an American" from a very young age (side note i bet at least 1/2 of the people reading that last part have the song stuck in your head.) So if those that wield power want the people to do a specific action they just whip out those symbols of patriotism and start hugging flags and shit.
Thanks. I think part of the point was, even if there are reasons for it, people usually do things without knowing them.
Just an excellent video. Cool.
GReat job I'm Making a follow up to this give you full credit
GREAT video!
Good stuff and music!
Great video!
I find it difficult to get these points across to people, because they will quickly jump to the defense and claim you're calling them stupid. But I don't think they're stupid, they're just underestimating how powerful the forces of hegemony are over their own beliefs. Any pointers?
Amazing video! Keep it up!
Nicely done. Hegemony
Wow, thought provoking. Subbing!
GORGEOUS!
Great video! Thanks!
Woooow I will pass my exam after this
Subbed. Super well done.
This is a really good video, keep it up
no its not
Bless You!
Fantastic work
Thank you! Cheers!
very interesting!
Thank you for simplifying this subject. Just want to clarify, is this happening in relational context or can be found in public/mass media context? Once again thank you
The narrator's tone makes it way more easier to understand.
Could you pls kindly do a video on Gramsci’s take on common sense & good sense.
Could you maybe also do a video on postcolonial theory? I am reading Said's Orientalism at the moment and hegemony is very closely linked to the mindset of the colonised. I would be very interested in how you will tie this link.
loved it!
Your examples are good (love the Conan the Barbarian example!) but I think it would help if what you said was the same as the words that came up on the screen
You actually are able to explain this compared to my professor, thank you!
"If I made myself clear you have misunderstood me"
oaw i just found this video .... great video
subscribed :D
Come Back Please!! Nothing for 3-years?
Thank you this video is really helpful! I was wondering though, is language ie. the words we use in the order we use them and the way they are pronounced, a form of hegemony as somehow there is an expectation of how language is spoken?
+Miranda Rose well, that's a complicated question. It would really depend on who is speaking to who and why. Here's a great video explaining some of the more straightforward power dynamics in language you might want to check out - ruclips.net/video/3-son3EJTrU/видео.html
Best. Video. Ever.
George Clooney philosophical explanations. I like it.
+Noc “Nocturniquet” Turne Thanks!
Hey! I'm a high school teacher and I teach a couple sections of a critical media literacy class. I think this is going to be a great resource for my kids. We're just now coming up on a month or so working together, and we're grappling with Foucauldian discourse and power, basic semiotics, and the like. I'm for sure going to look through the rest of your stuff for other useful videos. Please consider working on one for Foucauldian discourse and power if you haven't--that stuff is really valuable and notoriously slippery.
Thanks so much! I'm for sure subscribing!
+Maax W Fantastic. That's exactly what I am making these videos for. Foucault? You got it!
Maaz W. That is great that you are teaching your students such useful information. I thought these ideas where only taught in University. What country are you teaching in?
I wish I learned Gramsci in high school!
honestly! I'm on my 3rd degree before ever coming across this.
This is a scandal. Why is this bullshit being taught to high school children? They need to learn math and science, not propaganda. It's normal human psychology to imitate others, for example we see others put trees in their houses, we get the urge to do it ourselves. This has zero to do with "power wielding people" or other meaningless phrases. It is people behaving like people.
Culture and knowledge is power
You the man: you've earned said favour.
Awesome Hegemony 101 tutorial! Question: Are our species overt, covert, and implicit-biased SR-HAAC bigories (the 18 ways we act-them out violent and 18 ways we act them out non-violent) an incrementalism form of anti-hegemony (challege to the current status quo hegemony) or are they in and of themselves an emerging hegemony (Gramsci's never-ending process-theory) that seeks to replace and dominate -- because "egalitariansim" or "equality" are abstract concepts that in-practice will always be some form of "less-equality" (less-privilege)/"more-equality" (more-privilege for any population but especially our entire differentiated species? Those SR-HAAC Bigotries ("interesectionalities"): Sexism, Racism, Heterosexism, Ageism, Ableism, Classism!
Good video and I really liked the connection between the authors, even if their surnames were changed to Gramsi and Bordu ahahah
Nobody probably cares, but still: the combination of letters SC followed by I or E in italian makes a SH english sound, as in "show", so read it as gramshi; while Bourdieu is a bit more complicated because the last sound is not present in the english language if I'm not mistaken, but it can be approximated by the sound that the first A makes in words such as "apparently"
