Of the various theoretical concepts utilised to understand our current global conjuncture, one, Antonio Gramsci's interregnum, has increasingly breached both academic and popular consciousness. The evocative power of Gramsci's century-old analysis whereby the dying out of an existing order bears witness to a variety of morbid symptoms seems to speak to our own era in which systemic morbidities are overt and omnipotent. Yet despite a flourishing literature base, no systematic review of the interregnum as a concept has been undertaken. This paper acts to fill that lacuna, offering a review of the key themes which emerge from an interrogation of the interregnum. In doing so, the paper allows the concept to advance from its previously under-analysed status and permits for a fuller consideration of the benefits and limitations of utilising the interregnal concept as a methodological tool to assist in understanding the current global conjuncture.
