Antonio Negri and the sad end of Italian "operarismo"

Abstract

It is not difficult, at least in Italy, to find a linguistic agreement on the term "operarismo". There is no doubt about the main magazines around which this vein of thought was formed in the 60s and 70s (Quaderni Rossi, Classe Operaia, Poterre Operaio), nor about the authors who are its main exponents (Raniero Panzieri, Mario Tronti and Antonio Negri undoubtedly has a prominent position over many others who also made very important contributions).
