The international dimension of the names that Dr. Oliver shared with us during our
conversation speak to the currency and resilience of Gramsci's theoretical position
which is able to take root and adapt to different contexts. On the other hand, the
list of "intellectuals" also reveals a hopeful promise, that is, the deep longing
for tangible change in Latin America. It is no surprise that Stanley Aronowitz mentioned
the Southern hemisphere as the only conglomerate of nations with the conditions of
possibility to organize forms of social thought and achieve what Gramsci called a
"philosophy of praxis."
