Cultural hedhemony is a concept developed by the Italian Marxist theorist **[[Antonio Gramsci]]**. It refers to the way a **ruling class maintains dominance**, not only through political or economic power, but by **shaping [[Culture]], beliefs, and values** so that its worldview becomes accepted as _common sense_ by the rest of [[Society]]. In short: **Cultural hegemony = the subtle [[Control]] of society through shared norms and ideas that serve dominant interests.** https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_hegemony [[Communism]] `Concepts:` `Knowledge Base:`
