Antonio Gramsci 
(b. 1891- d. 1937)
Antonio Gramsci was an Italian Marxist philosopher, journalist, linguist, and politician.
What is Hegemony?
The definition of hegemony is "the political, economic, and military predominance of one state", and "a group or refine which exerts undue influence within a society."
According to his Marxist philosophy, Gramsci defines cultural hegemony as "the ruling class's domination of the value system and mores of a society, so that the ruling class's perspective is imposed". This means that an imposed idea is maintained in order to control society, examples being; heterosexuality, traditional male and female gender roles, the existence of class, etc...
A counter-hegemonic representation in the media would be; a homosexual relationship, a female killer, etc...
Possible influences for my film:
The hegemonic roles and slasher archetypes, the counter-hegemony of a female killer, Laurie's counter hegemony within the rules of the clique.
