Their encounter affirms the enduring need for a coherent theory of the revolutionary subject in the era of global capitalism, based on a political pedagogy of subaltern hegemony, solidarity, and reciprocal education. Investigating the political and economic lineages and outcomes of the mass uprising of Tahrir Square, De Smet discusses the emancipatory achievements and hegemonic failures of the Egyptian workers' and civil-democratic movements from the perspective of their (in)ability to construct a genuine dialectical pedagogy."--Supplied by publisher Notes Based on the author's thesis (doctoral)--Ghent University, 2012 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Gramsci, Antonio, 1891-1937 -- Political and social views Vygotskiĭ, L.
