There and back again:
mapping the pathways within autonomist Marxism
by Steve Wright [
Summary: Borio, Pozzi and Roggero (2005) have characterised workerism as
“neither a homogenous doctrinaire corpus, nor a unitary political subject”, but
rather “multiple pathways with their roots in a common theoretical matrix”.
Starting with a diagram drawn up by Primo Moroni in the 1980s, this paper will
explore a number of the ways in which those paths might be mapped out, in terms
of key categories and projects, above all for the years that follow 1979.
