The Refusal of Labor
Tronti's Legacy

This lecture will address Mario Tronti's work of the sixties, above all as set out in the book "Operai e capitale". It will examine the distinctive nature of this text as the founding bible of Italian operaismo, with particular reference to how Tronti understands the nature of class relations and conflict.

Texts for a critical discussion of Tronti's legacy in workerism:
