Hegemony, morality and emotions : power in the neural architecture of the human mind

Jeretič, Sebastjan (author)

The current debate on the crisis of democracy needs firm epistemological premises for the interpretation of election results and the manifestation of power as consent. In the article, a biopsychosocial model of hegemony is presented as a tool for the manifestation of power in the human mind. Hegemony as conceptualised by Gramsci is developed with the concept of power as both repression or spontaneous generation, as proposed by Foucault. The concept is developed with the paradigm of the embodied mind and insights from psychology and neuroscience about memory formation and meaning creation, stressing the role played by emotions in the process.

Abstract

Za aktualno razpravo o krizi demokracije so pomembni trdni epistemološki temelji za analizo volilnih rezultatov in manifestacije moči kot pristanka. V članku je predstavljen biopsihosocialni model hegemonije kot orodja za manifestacijo moči v človeškem umu. Koncept, kot ga je postavil Gramsci, je razvit s Foucaultovim razumevanjem moči kot represije ali samoumevnega ustvarjanja. Koncept je nadalje razvit v paradigmi utelešenega uma na temelju ugotovitev iz psihologije in nevroznanosti o procesih ustvarjanja spomina in ustvarjanja pomena, pri čemer je poudarjena vloga čustev
