SAID, Ana Maria. Estado: sociedade civil e luta hegemônica. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2014, vol.28, n.56, pp.603-615. ISSN 1982-596X.

We seek in this article to focus on the complex analysis of Gramsci’s concept of the “Integral State”, which Christine Buci-Gluksmann calls “Extended State”: political society + civil society, armored of coercion. For that, we must keep in mind the dialectical relationship between State and society that permeates Gramsci’s work. In fact, when we reflect about the scope of Gramsci’s work on the understanding of State and the fight of the contemporary society for power, we can’t leave behind the concept of hegemony of this thinker, which faces and confronts the fascism and the authoritarian tendencies that affect democracy in current times.

Keywords : State; Civil Society; Hegemony; Consensus; Coercion.
