Can the workers write? For a social history of workers’ ideas in the 19th century 

Abstract: A social history of workers’ ideas aims to capture the role of ideas in the construction of the working class, based on the study of texts produced by workers. In the 19th century, these texts were concentrated in times of political crisis, for example in France during the revolutions of 1830 and 1848, and at the end of the Second Empire. On these occasions, workers wrote texts in … Continua a leggere

Before the commune: small-scale associationism and “real sovereignty” 

Abstract: Based on an analysis of workers’ newspapers published before 1870, this article investigates how the local scale, the sub-national territory, was perceived before the Commune and the advent of municipal socialism. The 19^th century saw the development of associative dynamics, and workers wondered about the geographical scope of these dynamics, and the space in which they … Continua a leggere

After the revolution. Workers’ poetic writings in the journals of the Proletkult

Abstract: This article examines the relationship between theory and proletarian poetic practice in the early years of the Soviet state. It explores the paradox of the Proletkult experience, a mass cultural movement that spread after the 1917 revolution. Conceived as a space for the expression of working-class autonomy in the cultural sphere, it simultaneously emerged as an institution where intellectuals developed a normative perspective on the principles of proletarian poetic production. How can these contradictory claims … Continua a leggere

The political significance of the proletarian experience. Aporias of ‘Socialisme ou Barbarie’ 

Abstract: The American journal Correspondence and the French journal Socialisme ou Barbarie both aimed to give primacy to workers’ experience of exploitation over its theoretical analysis. This article shows that this primacy was conceived and practised in different ways within these groups: by postulating a harmony between experience and theory; by seeking a political direction in experience, and in theory its conditions of possibility; or finally by aspiring to a pure restitution of experience. Each … Continua a leggere

 The operaist workers’ survey through its archives. First hypotheses based on ongoing research 

 Abstract: This article attempts to reconstruct the workers’ inquiry methods used by Italian workerists in the 1960s. To this end, it analyses a corpus of archives that had not previously been used in studies on this subject, and sets out to renew our understanding of this historical experience. After reviewing the ways in which the workerists conceived the inquiry and pointing out the limits of an interpretation of this practice that would confine … Continua a leggere

Workerism and workers’ power in the factory – the case of Porto Marghera 

Abstract: To study how workerism understands workers’ power in the factory, we start from texts of different kinds (theoretical, political, artistic, testimonial, etc.) written by Porto Marghera activists and workers. While workerists conceive of workers’ power as autonomy (from both capital and established workers’ organizations), for them this does not mean to positively exercise this workers’s power, either in the factory (where it would be … Continua a leggere

André Gorz, passing on the texts of the Italian workers’ movement from 1960 to 1980: from the critique of alienation to the critique of workers’ institutions 

Abstract: This article elucidates the connections between André Gorz and the Italian left – both within parliamentary, trade unionist, and extra-parliamentary contexts – spanning the years from 1960 to 1980. The Italian trade union CGIL was committed to combating workplace alienation, not merely exploitation. Their approach centred on workers’ control and local trade union autonomy vis-à-vis … Continua a leggere

 Writing from the Lip conflict. The reception of a workers’ struggle and the limits of exemplarity 

 Abstract: This paper aims to discuss ways to use examples of a workers’ struggle and of speeches built along the struggle in philosophy. It takes interest in the reception of the Lip conflict in the seventies by the French philosopher Jacques Rancière, the review Révoltes logiques, and also by the philosopher Henri Lefebvre and the sociologist René Lourau. It displays the way in which a workers’ struggle as … Continua a leggere

 Night, sleep and night work in workers’ narratives 

Abstract: By reading a selection of workers’ accounts of their work, we propose in this contribution to document several aspects of the relationship between sleep, night and working-class labour. Firstly, work appears to be the material of choice for dream activity. This supports the idea that a significant proportion of workers’ dreams are professional dreams. Secondly, these accounts help to specify the type of fatigue experienced by workers, particularly those in industry. Finally, they attest to … Continua a leggere
