Description
Explore the revolutionary ideas presented in 'Marx in Movement,' the first volume of a groundbreaking trilogy from esteemed author Antonio Negri. This compelling book dives deep into the Italian radical Marxist tradition of operaismo, widely recognized as autonomist Marxism. Negri, a prominent figure in this tradition, sheds light on the crucial role of the worker in capitalism and emphasizes the importance of class struggle in contemporary society. The transition from the 'mass worker' to the 'social worker' is a key focus, expanding the definition of living labor beyond factory constraints. Through this lens, Negri liberates the concept of labor and explores new networks, including cognitive work, reproductive work, and care work, which hold the potential for resistance against capitalist exploitation. His insightful analysis underscores how operaismo remains vital to understanding current social and political challenges. With 220 pages of thought-provoking content, Negri's work is essential for anyone interested in modern Marxist theory and activism.

Description:
This first volume in a new trilogy of books by Antonio Negri examines and develops the Italian tradition of radical Marxist thought known as operaismo or Âautonomist Marxism™ “ the tradition to which Negri himself adheres and in which he is a leading figure
The tradition of operaismo emphasizes the role of the worker in capitalism and the primacy of class struggle. Within this framework, Negri™s key contribution has been to theorize the transition from the Âmass worker™ to the Âsocial worker™ “ that is, to broaden the concept of living labour and liberate it from the theoretical cages that locked it into the factory. It was only by moving beyond the ideology and political practice of the mass worker that the revolutionary character of the Marxist concept of class could be updated for our times and developed in relation to the exploitation and socialization of living labour, including networks of cognitive work, reproductive work and care work, networks which also have the potential to become the bases for new forms of resistance to capitalist exploitation.
By bringing together Negri™s key contributions to the reconceptualization of the worker and class struggle, this volume demonstrates the vitality of the Marxist tradition of operaismo and its continued relevance for understanding the key social and political struggles of our time.
