Sorry, but this is a bit silly. The term "hegemonic" has a perfectly sensible and respectable usage within Marxist theory. And whether or not there is evidence of "hegemony" doesn't preclude its perfectly sensible use within a theoretical context. https://twitter.com/peterboghossian/status/978689602201444352 …
Yes, Stuart Hall. Not really - it was a much more sophisticated (though ultimately flawed, in my view) attempt to get away from the old idea that the state apparatuses of capitalism just inculcated a false consciousness. You should take a look at the Marxism Today archive.

There was a cartoon somewhere of sociologists looking at plants and saying "How lovely, hegemonies" in about 1983. Much disapproved of by those of us who were Greek scholars.

I'm afraid my interests are much less fashionable. My finals specialities were the PreSocratics and Hume & my MA was mainly on Kant's ethical philosophy. My idea of a modern Continental philosopher is Frege.
