Fianna Fáil’s cross-class ideological strategy since 2011: The limits of ‘Progressive Republicanism’ and the very end of one-party hegemony
This article analyses and evaluates Fianna Fáil’s 'progressive republican' cross-class ideological strategy between 2011 and 2024 after the economic crisis and electoral collapse in 2011. Drawing on Antonio Gramsci's hegemony, it demonstrates how the party reconstructed strategically 'national-popular' identity (i.e. republicanism) and 'common sense' values (i.e. 'fairness') to attempt to rebuild ideologically a cross-class alliance – the histori…
Tokugawa Japan From the “Outside” and the Inside: Wagaku and Kokugaku, Etics and Emics, Nationalism and Exceptionalism
During the Edo period, the study of Japanese antiquity, especially its religious and literary aspects, went by various names, but the two most common of these were wagaku and Kokugaku. In theory, both of these terms mostly signified the same thing, and so they should have been interchangeable. In fact, the usage of both during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries suggests just that. However, some scholars of the time did not think these terms …
Kenneth Shonk, Ireland’s New Traditionalists: Fianna Fáil Republicanism and Gender, 1926-1938
Despite its electoral demise in the wake of the 2009 financial crisis and its uncertain future, Fianna Fáil remains the most successful political party of 20th-century Ireland. In recent years the party’s electoral woes have led to a renewed interest in its past, but academic monographs have remained relatively sparse and analysis of the party’s republican and nationalist ideology is an area that has been especially neglected in the literature. K…
Hegemony: A Theory of National-Popular Class Politics
This chapter explores Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony, arguing that it is a theory of national-popular class politics aimed at illuminating how the achievement of state power and socioeconomic transformation can only be secured by mobilizing and winning the consent of the masses through a strategy of “national-popular” political and ideological alliance in civil society. Examined here are three essential aspects of the theory: the conditions…

Socialism and democratic strategy in Italy’s Biennio Rosso: Gramsci contra Treves
This article examines the divisions in Italian socialism between revolutionaries and reformists against the backdrop of the Biennio Rosso (1919–20), taking the writings of Antonio Gramsci and Claudio Treves respectively as characteristic of the two traditions. The central focus is on their opposing accounts of how the socialist movement should organize the masses to achieve its objectives – referred to here as its ‘democratic strategy.’ I demonst…

Like No Other: Exceptionalism and Nativism in Early Modern Japan
The paradigmatic connection between Kokugaku and nativism is misleading and even wrong. In the humanities and the social sciences, nativism either describes anti-immigrant political movements or reactions to colonial domination, and neither of these is relevant to the case of Kokugaku. Instead, ideas and events associated with sonnō-jō'i conform more closely to how the historiographical category of nativism is used outside of Japanese studies. At…

Revisiting the Gramsci–Bukharin relationship: Neglected symmetries
In this article I revisit the ideas of Antonio Gramsci and Nikolai Bukharin from a contextual perspective to argue for a revision in the way current scholarship on Gramsci interprets his thought as fundamentally at odds with that of Bukharin. I show in particular that if we resist the temptation to reduce Bukharin to the level of his 1921 book, Historical Materialism, and concentrate instead on his more sophisticated NEP writings of the mid-1920s…

Countering the hegemony of the Irish national canon: The modernist rhetoric of Seán O'Faoláin (1938–50)1
The telling and re‐telling of national history has long been recognised in studies of nationalism as one of its key legitimising and mobilising strategies. In this article I illustrate how a rhetorical approach can effectively explore this dynamic and emotive dimension of nationalist ideology by examining the rhetorical strategies in the Irish liberal intellectual, Seán O'Faoláin's, attempts to reconstitute the popular canon of Irish history in t…
Fianna Fáil and the Spanish civil war 1936–1939: The rhetoric of hegemony and equilibrium
The Fianna Fáil Government's management of the crisis that broke out in Irish politics in 1930s Ireland over the Spanish Civil War and its policy of Non-intervention has usually been viewed in one of two ways. On the one hand, it has been claimed that the Party adopted a robust neutral position and faced down the widespread discontent that existed among a significant pro-Franco Catholic lobby. On the other, it has been argued that its reaction wa…
Conor Cruise O'Brien's Conservative Anti-Nationalism: Retrieving the Postwar European Connection
From the early 1970s Conor Cruise O'Brien acquired a reputation in Ireland and internationally as one of the most vociferous critics of nationalism. While many see the origins of his critique in his reaction to the emergence of militant nationalism in Northern Ireland at this time, in this article I argue that the foundations of O'Brien's anti-nationalism had already been laid in the postwar European context. The article illustrates how O'Brien's…

The Sandaikō Debate: The Issue of Orthodoxy in Late Tokugawa Nativism
This article singles out a turning point in the development of the Nativist School (kokugaku), which was initiated by the so-called Sandaiko debate. A detailed analysis of this debate indicates that the issue at stake was actually the methodological approach of evidential learning in the tradition of kokugaku's pre-eminent figure Motoori Norinaga. This quasi-scientific approach was challenged by Hirata Atsutane who spearheaded the reintroduction …
