The work of Antonio Gramsci points the way to the analysis of political conjunctures in ways that are complementary to, but go beyond, those of historical institutionalists. With a focus on the layering of longer- and shorter-term movement and policy dynamics, as well as on the fundamental contradictions that fuel social struggles, the approach is applied here to an analysis of recent housing struggles in New York City. Tracing the historical and organizational roots of contemporary fights over social housing, rent regulation, and evictions, the article argues that broader political backlash has hampered the movement, while the institutional innovations of the movement-and over 80 years of policy-remain resources for a broader and more radical future.

La obra de Antonio Gramsci se & ntilde;ala el camino hacia el an & aacute;lisis de las coyunturas pol & iacute;ticas de maneras que son complementarias a las de los institucionalistas hist & oacute;ricos, pero que van m & aacute;s all & aacute;. Centr & aacute;ndose en las capas de movimientos y din & aacute;micas pol & iacute;ticas de largo y corto plazo, as & iacute; como en las contradicciones fundamentales que alimentan las luchas sociales, el enfoque se aplica aqu & iacute; a un an & aacute;lisis de las recientes luchas por la vivienda en la ciudad de Nueva York. Al rastrear las ra & iacute;ces hist & oacute;ricas y organizativas de las luchas contempor & aacute;neas por la vivienda social, la regulaci & oacute;n de los alquileres y los desalojos, el art & iacute;culo sostiene que una reacci & oacute;n pol & iacute;tica m & aacute;s amplia ha obstaculizado el movimiento, mientras que las innovaciones institucionales del movimiento -y m & aacute;s de 80 a & ntilde;os de pol & iacute;ticas- siguen siendo recursos para una futuro m & aacute;s amplio y m & aacute;s radical.
