	James' Essays: Gramsci
		Hegemony is the ideological dominance of society, the position in which an ideology favourable to the dominant class is agreed upon by the society as a whole.
		Gramsci's thesis challenges this analogy, as the concept of hegemony allows for the ruling class to be partly determined within the realm of politics.
		Hegemony can only be sustained with such an alliance, and an alliance can only be created and sustained if there is a compromise between classes.

		The "cornerstone of the critical Marxist theory of mass culture is its estimate of the relationship between the underlying economic and political structures of contemporary capitalism and the significance of the ideological and cultural spheres."
		Thus the study of hegemony leads in two directions: (1) towards the study of the particulars that make up a sociohistorical organization of a deep cultural grammar, the "constitutive and constituting" social logic of daily life, and (2) towards the demystification of cultural and ideological domination.
		These two moments in the study of hegemony are roughly equivalent to the moments of the hermeneutic task as described by Paul Ricoeur: the recollection or restoration of meaning and demystification or critique as the exercise of suspicion.

		Because popular culture is a depoliticised and hence depoliticising form, many critics have tended to ignore the implications cultural hegemony has had on state/governmental policies and political activism.
		The concept of hegemony was formulated by Italian theorist Antonio Gramsci in the early twentieth century to explain the ways in which the ruling block maintained its power, and is based on what Bocock terms as 'moral and philosophical leadership', leadership which is maintained by the active consent of the major groups in a society.
		Cultural producers are almost exclusively companies whose actions are based on the profit motive, and are disparate elements promoting equally disparate self-serving capitalist ideologies, unlike the state which represented one specific power bloc, and one ideology.

		The second one, expansive hegemony, operates by means of active consensus, the adoption of popular interests by hegemonic class, and the creation of “national-popular will.” Only a fundamental class (which occupies one of the 2 poles in relations of production) can become hegemonic, as hegemony is ethico-political, but also economic.
		Hegemony makes a ‘higher synthesis' and fuses a collective will, as it is an ideological unity which will serve as ‘cement.' (PN 180-3), that is, the unity of these aspects depends on intellectual and moral leadership (PN 57-58, 113).
		Hegemony operates principally in civil society via the articulation of the interests of the fundamental class.

	mass media effects: hegemony theory
		The development of cultural studies in Britain was strongly influenced by the Frankfurt School, Althusser and other Marxists, but it is perhaps the views of the Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci which proved the most fruitful.
		Hegemony is a constant struggle against a multitude of resistances to ideological domination, and any balance of forces that it achieves is always precarious, always in need of re-achievement.
		Hegemony's 'victories' are never final, and any society will evidence numerous points where subordinate groups have resisted the total domination that is hegemony's aim, and have withheld their consent to the system.

		Cultures, in Gramsci’s scheme, cannot be separated from the ideologies and social systems from which they emerge.
		While Cultural Hegemony succeeds in working out Gramsci’s theory through application to three of the most difficult and long-standing conflicts still affecting the United States, the authors’ omission of any meaningful discussion of religion—it does not even appear in the index—as a field for application of these principles seems disappointing.
		Given the internal cultural conflicts of the 1990s and the eruption of violence with roots in Islam, the religious application of hegemony seems an unfortunate omission.
