Abstract

ABSTRACT:This article focuses on the hegemonic shift portrayed by Ayn Rand in Atlas Shrugged. The book focuses on the conflict between producers and those who exploit them. The protagonist, John Galt, leads a strike of the producers, which undermines the society's looters and puts an end to the hegemonic control of the left. Neoliberalism—used here as a synonym for contemporary libertarian thought—rescues the world from the havoc wreaked by statism. This shift is studied in the light of Antonio Gramsci's theory of hegemony, focusing on the role of intellectuals.

霸权的变化与知识分子在《阿特拉斯耸耸肩》中的作用——葛兰西研究

摘要:本文主要探讨安·兰德在《阿特拉斯耸耸肩》中所描绘的霸权转移。这本书关注的是生产者和剥削他们的人之间的冲突。主人公约翰·高尔特(John Galt)领导了一场生产者罢工，打击了社会上的掠夺者，结束了左派的霸权控制。新自由主义——在这里被用作当代自由主义思想的同义词——将世界从国家主义造成的浩劫中拯救出来。这一转变是根据葛兰西的霸权理论来研究的，重点是知识分子的作用。
