This article addresses whether the concepts of Antonio Gramsci still "travel" to Latin America. During the 20th century, Gramsci was one of the most important social theorists invoked to understand forms of social order in Latin America, as well as providing resources to reflect upon subaltern culture, resistance and the construction of alternatives. However, over the past two decades there have been several theoretical and practical challenges to the hegemony of Gramsci. These challenges are multifarious, but can be reduced to several important contentions that are explored in this article. These include the enduring role of violence, the alleged decline of ideology and finally the challenge of state"?centrism in the face of geographical difference. In the current regional conjuncture, marked by the return to power of right"?wing social forces, I therefore examine whether Gramscian concepts are still apposite for understanding the political economy of Latin America in the 21st century.

Resumen

Este art??culo aborda si los conceptos de Antonio Gramsci todav??a "viajan" a Am?rica Latina. Durante el siglo veinte, Gramsci fue uno de los te??ricos sociales m??s importantes que se ha invocado para entender las formas de orden social en Am?rica Latina, as?? como un proveedor de recursos que reflexiona sobre la cultura subalterna, la resistencia y la construci??n de alternativas. Sin embargo, durante las ??ltimas dos d?cadas, han habido algunos desaf??os te??ricos y pr??cticos del concepto de hegemon??a de Gramsci. Esos desaf??os son m??ltiples, pero pueden ser reducidos a varias discusiones importantes que son investigadas en este art??culo. Estas incluyen el papel duradero de la violencia, la supuesta decadencia de la ideolog??a y finalmente el reto del estado"?centrismo frente a las diferencias geograficas. Por lo tanto, en la actual coyuntura regional, marcada por el regreso al poder de las fuerzas sociales de la derecha, yo analizo si los conceptos de Gramsci todav??a son apropiados para entender la econom??a pol??tica de Am?rica Latin en el siglo veintiuno.
