Abstract

The thesis analysis the French Revolution's lecture made by Antonio Gramsci considering since his early writings (1910) to the Quaderni del carcere, written between the years 1929-1935 during the prison under the fascist regime of B. Mussolini. Understand the reading of the French Revolution in Gramsci permeates the place of historiography disagreements and debates and also the mobilization that was last in the sphere more specifically political. One must consider the persistence at the beginning of the twentieth century vocabulary of terms that refer to the eighteenth century Revolution as Terror, Year II, Jacobinism, among others, and comparisons were made between past and present mainly from 1917. In early writings, Gramsci treated revolutionary France as a model and source of political modernity but refused to fully Jacobin phase of the Convention (1793-1794). Between 1917-1918, to address the issue, turned his attention to the French historiography, especially Albert Mathiez, and began a "rehabilitation" of the historic Jacobins and, from 1921, he treated them in a positive way to his re-elaboration as theoretical-analytical category in Quaderni. The French Revolution thus will be dealt with in the past written as a long process of bourgeois hegemony of construction in France and the Jacobin party as essential for shaping the national state and the "people" French for having amalgamated city and country. The Jacobinism category is bound to reflect on the political strategy of the subaltern classes and was incorporated into the Gramscian intellectual lexicon after the maturation process stimulated by the Russian Revolution and developed in the prison period when he started to compose the core of his political theory (AU)
