This article maintains the hypothesis that it is possible to find a model of plural temporalities in Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks because there are statements made by the author that show that he is assuming the existence of a heterogeneous plurality of times that coexist in a disorderly manner, until only some of them, and through a process of political construction, turn into hegemonic temporalities.

This article maintains the hypothesis that it is possible to find a model of plural temporalities in Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks because there are statements made by the author that show that he is assuming the existence of a heterogeneous plurality of times that coexist in a disorderly manner, until only some of them, and through a process of political construction, turn into hegemonic temporalities. This model is directly associated with the conceptual operation that I call “Gramscian reinvention of immanence”. By understanding Gramsci’s postulation of an immanent link between theory and practice, it becomes possible to glimpse the complexity of the idea that the present is not, a priori, “contemporary”, but that all temporal forms acquire hegemonic significance in practice only if there is a theoretical-political work of a certain social class that makes it possible. In the development of this article, my objective is to corroborate this hypothesis, by going back to the textual source of the Prison Notebooks to elaborate an analysis of the notion of prevision and of all the conceptual expressions of the Gramscian model of plural temporalities.
