“Toplumsal Ekoloji ve Andre Gorz’un Ekoloji Politiği” adlı çalışmanın konusu, toplumsal ekolojiyi ve Andre Gorz’un ekolojik politikasını incelemektir. Temel amacı ise ekolojik bir görüşün toplumsal ve radikal olması gerektiğini vurgulamaktır. Bu yüzden tezin kapsamı,‘Toplumsal Ekoloji’ ve ‘Ekososyalizm’i içerecek şekilde genişletilmiştir. Dünyada, ekolojik politikanın oluşturulmasına öncülük ettiği ve bu politikanın sosyalist araçlarla toplumsallıştırılmasında iyi bir örnek sunduğundan, özel olarak incelenmek için Fransız düşünür Andre Gorz seçilmiştir.
Çalışma üç bölüme ayrılmıştır. Çalışmanın “Ekoloji ve Ekolojik Düşünce” adlı birinci bölümünde, çalışmaya bir kapsam çizilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu bölüm kendi içinde iki kısma ayrılmıştır. “Bilim Olarak Ekoloji” adlı birinci kısımda, ekolojik düşünceye kaynaklık eden ekoloji bilimi ele alınmıştır. Bölümün “Ekolojik Düşünce” adlı ikinci kısmında ekolojik düşüncenin genel hatlarına, dinamiklerine, eleştirilerine yer verilmiştir.
Çalışmanın “Temel Tartışmalar Ekseninde Toplumsal Ekoloji ve Ekososyalist Düşünce” adlı ikinci bölümünde Toplumsal Ekoloji kuramı ve Ekososyalizm ele alınmıştır. Bu amaçla bu bölüm de iki kısma ayrılmıştır. “Toplumsal Ekoloji” kısmında, bu düşünceye öncülük eden Murray Bookchin’in metinleri üzerinden, Toplumsal Ekolojinin ekolojideki temel sorunlara ne cevap verdiği incelenmiştir. “Ekososyalizm” adlı ikinci kısımda da, Ekososyalizmin bu sorulara ne cevap verdiği ve ürettiği çözümler ele alınmıştır.
Çalışmanın “Andre Gorz’un Ekoloji Politiği” adlı üçüncü ve son bölümü, Gorz’un ekolojik politikasının daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi açısından üç kısma ayrılmıştır. “Gorz’da Sosyalizm” adlı birinci kısımda, Gorz’un sosyalizm anlayışı ve temel politikaları ele alınmıştır. “Gorz’da Kapitalizm” adlı ikinci kısımda, Gorz’un kapitalizme ve kapitalizmin iktisadi akılcılığına karşı eleştirileri ele alınmıştır. “Gorz’da Ekoloji” adlı üçüncü ve son kısımda ise, Gorz’un sosyalist politikalarla ekolojik politikaları nasıl birleştirdiği gösterilmiştir. Ve böylece çalışma sona ermiştir.

In this article we intend to show as well as query the immaterial labor category, considering that such category has shown itself as historically central for the production process of capitalist wealth and capital accumulation in the last thirty years, approximately. The hypothesis of immaterial labor as central for the present historical context is, at the same time, linked with the subjectivity transformations, principally in the form of consumer role. In this sense we have investigated some issues that postulated for Antonio Negri, André Gorz and others. In our hypothesis of work, the concepts of cognitive capitalism and immaterial labor are entwinement, reflecting a new stage of capitalism history.

In this essay, I will first provide a brief summary of Laudato Si in the context of Pope Francis’s previous writings. I will point out where Pope Francis places the origins of the environmental crisis, what he thinks is the culprit, and I will argue that Pope Francis thinks the consequences were intended. In doing this, I will in turn to connect Pope Francis with philosopher André Gorz, Catholic intellectual Ivan Illich, and novelist Amitav Ghosh to show how Laudato Si is a part of a broader critique of the dominant culture in the West. Finally, I will discuss whether Laudato Si offers a vision of hope for the future.

This review undertakes a summary and a critical assessment of the work André
Gorz: une philosophie de l’émancipation, authored by the French sociologist
Françoise Gollain. It is an intellectual biography of Gorz (1923-2007) that presents
chronologically and with great detail the trajectory of his thought throughout six
decades of engagement with critical philosophy. Analyzing all of Gorz’s publications,
as well as unpublished manuscripts and his correspondence, Gollain gives an account
of the multiple inflections of gorzian theory. Thus, a decisive contribution is made to
overcome the monolithic academic reception of André Gorz: the secondary literature
tends to focus (almost) exclusively in the late writings that followed the publication of
Farewell to the working class (1980). One of the most important aspects of Gollain’s
(re)interpretation is the thesis that the sartrean existentialist philosophy constitutes
the foundation that cuts across Gorz’s bibliographical output in its entirety. In Gorz,
the struggle of the subject against alienation in the name of freedom is omnipresent.
Despite a couple of minor flaws, André Gorz: une philosophie de l’émancipation
represents one of the best intellectual biographies of this thinker.
Keywords: Gorz, Gollain, emancipation, existentialism, intellectual biography.

The degrowth literature contains several narratives about the " first use " of the term 'décroissance.' This literature usually dates the word's origin to the early or late 1970s. Both the quest to find the " first use " and the narratives around that supposed use are considered here from several perspectives.
First, the history of the word 'décroissance' is examined from its earliest roots up to around 1980. Then, after broadly characterizing what constitutes 'décroissance' in the sense used by the degrowth movement today (the " Political Denotation "), the paper analyzes the substance of the various published " first use " narratives. It turns out that none of the published narratives is correct, even if limited to the first use of the Political Denotation.
Next, the paper steps back and considers why the question of " first use " has attracted so many narratives at all. It suggests that this is part of an ongoing process of reflexivity within the degrowth movement that is giving rise to an " invented tradition " in the sense of Hobsbawm (1983). It proposes that various elements of an invented tradition, such as the identification of intellectual " precursors " /patriarchs, are already visible in the degrowth literature. The reception of Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen as a " father " of degrowth is considered in some detail.
A frequent element in creating such a tradition is the establishment of an orthodoxy by means of a restricted canon. The establishment of such an orthodoxy is not necessarily dependent on an intention to do so. The paper examines the role of such works as the recent degrowth " Vocabulary " edited by D'Alisa et al. (2015a) in establishing a canon de facto by means that include, but are not limited to, a radical under-representation of the Francophone and other degrowth literatures. In this context, the diffusion of the Vocabulary's " first use " narrative in the degrowth literature serves as an indicator of the work's potential influence as a canonical reference.
From the totality of these perspectives, the topic of the " first use " of 'décroissance' can be seen not as a mere retrospective philological curiosity, but as calling our attention to matters of some significance for future of the degrowth movement and the politics of degrowth. Possible futures to be avoided include (i) the premature establishment of orthodoxy in the degrowth movement, and (ii) the prolonged use of 'degrowth' as a political slogan, in the expectation that this term will reverse connotations associated with it for more than a millennium of Western history.

Çalışma, kapitalist sistemin başlangıç aşamasında soyut bir özgürlük olarak tanımlanan ve zaman içerisinde çeşitli aşamalardan geçerek somut bir hak halini almış olan bir kavramdır. Ancak çalışmanın “sonunun geldiğine” dair tezler bugün ciddi şekilde
tartışılmaktadır. Bu tezleri destekleyen isimlerin başında Fransız düşünür André Gorz gelmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, çalışma kavramının gelişimini evrimci bir bakış açısıyla ele almak ve daha sonra bu kavramın günümüzde geldiği noktanın Gorz tarafından nasıl yorumlandığını eleştirilerle birlikte değerlendirmektir.

This chapter critically reviews André Gorz's thought, in particular his labour-based political ecology, to argue that it belongs within Environmental Labour Studies as a cutting-edge field of inquiry. Based on Gorz's theoretical toolkit, it discusses the historical transformation of the link between capitalist development, natural environment and working-class struggles. In particular, the chapter focuses on Gorz's analysis of the ecological crisis as a crisis of capitalist reproduction, whose implications are relevant for a critical understanding of the post-Fordist mode of accumulation. To grasp the ecological dimension of contemporary valorisation-that is, to analyse how physical limits to growth are turned from obstacles to drivers of accumulation-the conclusions intermingle Gorz's insights with recent debates on biocapitalism, drawing especially on Melinda Cooper's contributions.

Come è cambiata la soggettività precaria negli ultimi venti anni in Italia? Quali sono i bisogni e i sogni delle generazioni del lavoro “non standard” che si sono succedute e stratificate nel tempo? A partire dalla ricerca svolta per il progetto europeo PIE News/Commonfare Horizon 2020, il partner italiano Basic Income Network Italia (BIN Italia) ha raccolto in questo testo i risultati dell’indagine qualitativa condotta sul campo. Dalle interviste e dai focus group, organizzati a Roma e a Milano, emerge il racconto di un’esperienza che si è sviluppata tra tensioni ambivalenti. Quasi un romanzo di formazione, dalla passione a una leggerezza disincantata, dove la ricattabilità si accompagna al valore della autonomia, la povertà alla ricchezza delle relazioni e dei saperi collettivi. Nello scenario di una trasformazione di immense proporzioni che ha coinvolto il sistema produttivo, il mercato del lavoro, il sistema di welfare, i rapporti affettivi, le generazioni precarie si descrivono e descrivono le proprie pratiche. Comunità di riferimento in cui costruire futuro, sperimentazioni fondate sulla autorganizzazione delle produzioni e sulla creatività sociale nelle quali attuare nuovi modi di lavorare ma soprattutto di vivere.

In this chapter I give an overview of “Post-Marxism.” Primary attention is paid to what should be considered the core of Post-Marxism in relation to Marxist and Non- Marxist critical theory, namely, its conception of the social. This shift is of importance for the overall post-Marxist philosophical vision of society, theory, and politics. Theorists discussed include Badiou, Honneth, Ranciere, Laclau/Mouffe, Foucault, Gorz, and Hardt/Negri.

Th e fusion of postindustrial social theory with a new left political critique of classical Marxism resulted in a distinctly Post-Marxist political theory. Th is distinct political theory emerged during the 1980s, although it was quickly pushed aside by globalization studies in the 1990s. Th is paper argues that Post-Marxism is conceptually distinct from post-modernism, post-structuralism, and other variants of the New Left with most fundamental distinction being the idea that Marxian concepts are still necessary, if not suffi cient for understanding postindustrial and global capitalism. More specifi cally, theorists such as André Gorz, Jürgen Habermas, Antonio Negri, and Claus Off e, among others, have articulated the foundations of this uniquely Post-Marxist political theory by anchoring their economic analysis of postindustrial capitalism in Marx's Grundrisse rather than Capital. Th is conceptual shift has enabled Post-Marxists to construct a theoretically powerful analysis of postindustrial capitalism, the new movements, and socialist policy that was remarkably prescient, although none of the Post-Marxists has successfully solved the problem of a contemporary historical subject and political agency.

Dans cette deuxième livraison de la rubrique « Gorzienne » dans la revue EcoRev', nous poursuivons la publication de textes inédits d’André Gorz avec cette fois-ci une contribution particulièrement importante. Il s’agit d’une suite donnée à L’immatériel, son dernier ouvrage théorique publié de son vivant, en 2003. Gorz approfondit sa pensée pendant l’année qui suit sa sortie. L’édition en allemand de 2004, qu’il dit avoir réécrite pour « un bon tiers », en porte les marques. Conçue comme une préparation à une éventuelle seconde édition en français, la libre retranscription par Gorz lui-même des pages inédites ou remaniées de l’édition en allemand – manuscrit dont nous extrayons des développements essentiels – offre un aperçu limpide de l’effort que l’auteur entreprend pour asseoir les concepts qui explicitent le fond clair-obscur de l’économie de la connaissance contemporaine. Et c’est à nouveaux frais que Gorz revient sur le principe du revenu d’existence, dont il s’emploie cette fois-ci à tracer les limites.

This article reads Letter to D: A Love Story by French philosopher André Gorz from the perspective of the interlacing of Lacanian psychoanalysis and Badiouian philosophy. My main purpose is to show how the love between Gorz and Dorine, as is narrated in Gorz's letter, amounts to a singular example of love as situated between Lacan and Badiou to the extent that one might name it a Bacanian love. For this, this article explores their exceptional amorous itinerary in a reconstructive way in relation to the categories that are crucial to the problem of love, such as encounter, relation, process, marriage, sexual difference, symptom, power, and death and life. This article concludes by encapsulating the Bacanian ideas of love.

Estos textos inéditos en francés y en castellano, que se grabaron en 1990, 1997, 2003, 2004 y 2005, revelan la actualidad de las reflexiones de André Gorz sobre el sentido de la vida. Al asociar una crítica del trabajo alienado y una visión ecológica de la «buena vida» su utopía se concreta en la aparición de una civilización de tiempo liberado.
Ello supone el divorcio entre el trabajo, que debe reducirse, y la remuneración, que debe ser garantizada a fin de que cada uno pueda desarrollar, a lo largo de su vida, una multiplicidad de actividades autodeterminadas, creativas, solidarias y militantes. Una reflexión existencial sobre el sentido de la vida que ha sido alterado por la megamáquina capitalista que reduce al ser humano a la única función de trabajador y consumidor.

Abstracts français/english :
Trois entretiens inédits en français d'André Gorz (1990, 2003 et 2005).
Ces entretiens révèlent la persistante actualité de la réflexion existentielle de Gorz sur le sens de la vie contrarié par l’emprise tentaculaire de l’économie qui réduit l’être humain à la fonction de travailler et consommer. Associant une critique de l’aliénation du travail et une vision écologiste de la « bonne vie », son utopie est celle d’une civilisation du temps libéré : elle suppose un divorce historique entre le travail, qui doit être réduit, et le revenu, qui doit être garanti, afin de permettre une multiplicité d’activités autodéterminées – créatives, solidaires, militantes – tout au long de la vie de chacun.
--------------------------------------
The three interviews, from 1990, 2003 and 2005, show the relevance of André Gorz’s ideas ont the meaning of life. The tentacle-like hold of the economy, which reduces human action to production and consumption, inhibits life. By combining criticism of alienating work with an ecological vision of “the good life”, he presents a utopia in which time has been freed. Such a civilisation separates work, which must be reduced, from income, which must be guaranteed, so that, throughout their lives, people can engage in many different self-determined activities involving creation, activism and solidarity.

Os estudos sobre cultura e arte e os sobre o "mundo do trabalho" em geral se encontram em campos separados, apesar de algumas obras de referência sobre profissões e "trabalhadores da cultura" e o mercado de trabalho dos artistas, como as de Howard Becker e Pierre-Michel Menger. Meu objetivo é fazer recurso ao arcabouço teórico da sociologia do trabalho para o estudo do mundo do trabalho da cultura e da arte no Brasil contemporâneo, focando na atividade e nas relações dos "produtores culturais" (e menos no mercado de trabalho dos artistas), a partir da análise do desenvolvimento da interpretação de André Gorz acerca das mudanças no mundo do trabalho, desde seu clássico (e polêmico) "Adeus ao Proletariado", até sua obra tardia "O Imaterial". Esta análise é cotejada com a necessária contextualização e com as críticas, no âmbito da sociologia do trabalho brasileira, ao autor, assim como com a discussão mais específica da sociologia da cultura. Tudo isso considerado, busco demonstrar que a teoria de André Gorz apresenta relevante potencial heurístico para o estudo da atividade de produção cultural no Brasil contemporâneo. O itinerário deste artigo irá se ater a quatro obras de André Gorz: "Adeus ao Proletariado", "Metamorfoses do Trabalho", "Misérias do Presente, Riquezas do Possível", e "O Imaterial" (publicadas, respectivamente, em 1980, 1988, 1997 e 2003, e que serão identificadas, a partir de agora, respectivamente, como AAP, MDT, MDP e IM. Fazem parte do que Josué Pereira da Silva (2006; 2011) define como o segundo grande período do pensamento de Gorz, distinção baseada no "lugar do trabalho numa estratégia de emancipação social"), destacando tanto as continuidades, desdobramentos, quanto as rupturas no pensamento do autor, que matizam a evolução de sua análise incisiva sobre as mudanças contemporâneas no mundo do trabalho, suas mazelas, malogros e potencialidades.

Ecologia e libertà è un libro straordinariamente anticipatore. In esso la crisi della natura non si pone come esterna all'economia, alla società, alla politica; ne è semmai il volto estremo, il sintomo inaggirabile, l'ingiunzione cui non ci si può sottrarre procrastinando. André Gorz è tra i primi a chiederci di pensare la questione ambientale nella sua non-autosufficienza, nella sua impossibilità a spiegarsi da sé: essa dischiude infatti una crisi del produttivismo occidentale e del capitalismo industriale che possiede un'origine storica e che richiede una soluzione politica. Tale soluzione, peraltro, non fornisce alcuna garanzia sulla desiderabilità o meno del suo esito: il testo torna a più riprese sul rischio concreto di una deriva tecnofascista, cioè di una risposta autoritaria alle sfide ecologiche. Il degrado degli equilibri biosferici schiude infatti uno scenario fortemente polarizzato: alla tentazione dispotica deve far fronte un progetto sociale complessivo capace di coniugare la sostenibilità ambientale e l'autonomia individuale e collettiva. Il nesso tra ecologia e libertà, dunque, non si dà in natura – non sta nelle cose: bisogna produrlo, curarlo, difenderlo.
In ultima istanza, l'ecologia politica di André Gorz è immaginazione pratica di un futuro non segnato dall'imperativo capitalistico della massimizzazione del profitto ad ogni costo. Sta in questo la sua più profonda attualità.

A postulação do trabalho imaterial como algo central no atual momento histórico é, ao mesmo tempo, algo que se refere às transformações da cultura contemporânea, na forma de produção cultural. Procuramos conceber o entrelaçamento entre trabalho imaterial e produção cultural como aspecto chave de um novo momento histórico do capitalismo, ou, do capitalismo tardio. Neste sentido procuramos investigar alguns problemas que também derivam da tradição da Escola de Frankfurt, principalmente o conceito de indústria cultural. Nossa hipótese é de que o conceito de indústria cultural e sua superação pela pós-indústria é central para compreendermos como este novo estágio nos exige um novo olhar quanto aos problemas da dominação e da emancipação. Palavras chave trabalho imaterial; indústria cultural; pós-modernidade; dominação.

Recensione a La ragione ecologica. Saggi intorno all'Etica dello spazio. Di Stefano Righetti L'ultimo libro di Righetti, La ragione ecologica. Saggi intorno all'Etica dello spazio, che prosegue ed innova le prospettive del lavoro di Righetti del 2016, Etica dello spazio, è essenzialmente un tentativo di lettura di problemi centrali del nostro tempo da un punto di vista ecologico-filosofico, ed lo sforzo di porne di nuovi (o almeno, di non molto considerati). Con un'ottica direttamente politica (non si può dire più politica di quella di Etica dello spazio, che già aveva nel risvolto politico-sociale molto del suo senso e del suo scopo), Righetti espone in una serie di saggi alcuni problemi fondamentali, in maniera trasversale (il concetto di limite e quello di ambiente, nonché quello di corporeità sono presenti in ogni saggio), ed anche specifica (il bel capitolo centrale che parla del rapporto tra filosofia, linguaggio, senso e corpo). Viene così ampliato il campo dell'ecologia filosofica stessa facendo comprendere come si tratti effettivamente, almeno nel senso in cui l'autore intende il problema e la sua ricaduta sulla filosofia, come di qualcosa che investe per intero il campo filosofico-culturale moderno.

Durante los últimos años ha venido proliferando el uso de términos como «posmarxista» o «postsocialista» en autores y tradiciones que, por otro lado, siguen manteniendo un carácter fuertemente anticapitalista, a la vez que tienden a situarse explícitamente dentro de una tradición referida como «emancipatoria», «crítica» o «transformadora». En términos generales, podríamos decir —aún a costa de ir en contra de la propia autodenominación de «postsocialista» de muchos de ellos— que estaríamos frente a un conjunto de intentos de renovar el socialismo, despojándole de ciertos presupuestos ontológicos, epistemológicos y prácticos heredados de los distintos marxismos, de un lado, y, de otro, de ajustarlos de acuerdo a nuevas corrientes filosóficas. Además, no hay duda que una representación destacable de la filosofía política contemporánea en sus distintas tradiciones -liberal, conservadora, ecologista, feminista, etc.- es en parte «posmarxista» o «postsocialista», tanto porque en gran medida buena parte de los autores de referencia provienen del socialismo y el marxismo como porque siguen manteniendo un marco normativo emancipatorio y un modelo transcendente de sociedad como horizonte de referencia. Finalmente, los debates terminológicos y los usos diferenciados que se hace en cada caso de estos términos –a menudo para distinguirse de los académicos con los que se discute, sin que por otro lado se aprecien diferencias de fondo en cuanto a los valores y principios- puede simplemente atascar cualquier intento por esclarecer en qué medida se puede ser hoy ser socialista o marxista, o si se puede clasificar un discurso determinado como tal. A estas dificultades clasificatorias hay que añadir la de moverse en el océano de estudios marxistas y marxianos. Por su parte, la práctica y la teoría política socialista o comunista son en sus inicios muy anteriores a Marx, por lo que no parece un sinsentido pensar que pueda haber un socialismo no marxista con posterioridad a él.

Herbert Marcuse was one of the most influential political philosophers in the 20th century. After his death, his popularity started decreasing and the philosopher somewhat sank into oblivion. This dissertation intends to investigate the Marcusean contribution to the subject of technics, so imbricated on his political philosophy, and demonstrate that it deserves reappraisal. We shall analyse the theoretical context of Marcuse’s work and put opposing stances, both technophobe and technophile, up for debate. The intent is to not only present the topics that organized this discussion back in its day, but also to set Marcuse apart from such hardline approaches. We shall then elucidate the Marcusean criticism of the capitalist technological system of advanced industrial societies and present the fundamental lines of its new historical project, supported by a qualitative change made possible by the ambivalence of technics. Since, in Marcuse’s view, technics configure the basis for the organisation of the status quo, and also the basis which might modify it if duly reoriented, the ambivalent character which the philosopher identifies in technics becomes the nuclear idea in his thesis; it is the very foundation upon which he builds his philosophy of technics. The marcusean thought shall then be exposed to critique: we shall examine the most relevant objections raised against it, but also its most fruitful ideas. Through the contributions of Gorz and, more specifically, of Feenberg, we intend to confirm the relevance of Marcuse’s thought in the context of the hodiern technological reality.

Aging is an integral part of human existence. The problem of aging addresses the most fundamental coordinates of our lives but also the ones of the phenomenological method: time, embodiment, subjectivity and intersubjectivity, and even the social norms that grow into the very notion of aging as such. In my article, I delineate a phenomenological analysis of aging and show how such an analysis connects with the debate concerning personal identity: I claim that aging is not merely a physical process, but is far more significantly also a spiritual one as the process of aging consists in our awareness of and conscious relation to our aging. This spiritual process takes place on an individual and on a social level, whereas the latter is the more primordial layer of this experience. This complicates the question of personal identity since it will raise the question in two ways, namely who I am for myself and who I am for the others, and in a further step how the latter experience shapes the former. However, we can state that aging is neither only physical nor only spiritual. It concerns my bodily processes as it concerns the complex reflexive structure that relates my former self with my present and even future self.

Le livre de Razmig Keucheyan sur les « besoins artificiels » et sur la façon de s’en passer mérite plus qu’une recension : il invite à la discussion et a toute sa place dans cette rubrique dédiée aux études « gorziennes ». En partant des travaux d’André Gorz et d’Ágnes Heller qui ont pour socle les prémisses théoriques de Karl Marx, il fournit un cadre détaillé des formes d’aliénation, mais aussi des nouveaux besoins et revendications que suscite la croissance, c’est-à-dire la mainmise du capitalisme sur la consommation.

Les crises climatique et écologique occupent désormais le devant de la scène, mais la profondeur des questionnements nécessaires, quant à nos façons de produire, de travailler, de consommer et de nous épanouir, manque souvent à ce brouhaha médiatique. Cette anthologie, la première réunissant les principaux textes d'un des plus grands penseurs de l'écologie et du capitalisme tardif, décédé en 2007, comble ce vide. Elle offrira des repères et des perspectives solides pour les tempêtes en cours : pensée de l'autonomie et de la liberté prolongeant l'existentialisme, lecture critique des derniers avatars du capitalisme et de sa crise écosystémique. Pour Gorz, loin des mesures gestionnaires et technocratiques, l'écologie est d'emblée politique, impliquant une critique radicale des formes de domination, tant par le travail que sur la nature ou via le consumérisme. Textes rassemblés et présentés par Françoise Gollain et Willy Gianinazzi.

En este artículo se reconstruyen y contraponen dos conceptualizaciones del trabajo en el marco del capitalismo actual. De un lado, Habermas y Gorz entienden que el trabajo pierde centralidad en la vida social a la vez que se halla atravesado por lógicas instrumentales y productivistas, ante lo cual proponen la ampliación de otras esferas sociales gobernadas por principios diferentes a los dominantes en el espacio productivo. Del otro lado, el autonomismo italiano avizora un cambio cualitativo en los procesos productivos actuales, los cuales abandonarían paulatinamente las lógicas instrumentales para pasar a ser gobernados por otras más vinculadas a la comunicación, la cooperación y la búsqueda de autonomía. Aquí se realizará un examen comparativo de estas dos líneas, procurando elucidar sus supuestos teóricos, y teniendo como horizonte los requerimientos de una teoría crítica que pueda estudiar el presente detectando tanto sus fisuras como sus posibilidades inmanentes de transformación social y política.
