If we unpack some of the assumptions behind Holub's title we will find that Gramsci can be mobilized to the extent that he seems to offer political solutions to the predicament of postmodernism (figured as decentering, arbitrary, "merely" discursive), while at the same time appearing to surpass vulgar Marxist economism and historicism.
Thus, she proposes to study Gramsci in the "context of literary criticism, and in the context of Marxist aesthetics" (7).
Holub's intervention, via the figure of Gramsci, can be read as an attempt to shore up the precarious but nonetheless powerful position of Western intellectuals "as mediators between the needs and desires of developing cultures, and the mandarins of our establishments" (189).

 eBooks.com - Antonio Gramsci eBook
In this study, Renate Holub attempts to reclaim Antonio Gramsci's theory from classical Marxism, instead placing him in a broader European critical context, alongside the Frankfurt School, phenomenology, and sociolinguistics.
Holub emphasizes Gramsci's affinities with the cultural theories of the Frankfurt School (Horkheimer, Bloch, Brecht, Benjamin), and also points out the links between Gramsci's linguistic and phenomenological forms of knowledge.
Holub conveys the conceptual and methodological complexity of his work, which is, the author claims, relevant to the construction of today's critical theory.

 Politics and Culture
While the origins of the globalization of communication can be traced back to the mid-nineteenth century, this process is primarily a phenomenon of the twentieth.the flow of information and communication on a global scale has become a regularized and pervasive feature of social life.
This point is reinforced by Renate Holub's analysis of Gramsci's work on literary criticism and aesthetics, Antonio Gramsci: Beyond Marxism and Postmodernism.
In opposition to Hinkson's 'it all happened yesterday' attitude, Holub refers to Gramsci's understanding of the 'gradual technologization and industrialization of culture' (1992, p.9).

Placing Gramsci in this broader context evokes the immense conceptual and methodological complexity of his work, a complexity Holub discusses in terms of "differential pragmatics." It is this very complexity which is, the author claims, relevant today when constructing our own critical theories.
Faced with the transnationalization of capital, the centralization of monetary and economic power, and the decentralization of production processes, a critical theory today must investigate, in the context of information technology, the possibilities of alternative positions to such an order.
