NEGRI IN CAMBRIDGE AND LONDON
On Tuesday 25 April the Italian political thinker Antonio Negri will be in
Cambridge to deliver the first of two talks on the possibilities for a
renewal of revolutionary thought and action.
His chosen topic for the Cambridge talk is: “Post-operaismo or
neo-operaismo”.
In this talk he will give a new reading of the development and ongoing
validity of the “operaista” [workerist] tradition in Italian political
thought, and will offer perspectives for the future of revolutionary
activity in that vein.
The meeting will also mark the publication of his most recent collection of
essays in English, entitled Marx and Foucault (Cambridge: Polity Press,
2017)
The speaker will be introduced by the translator of that volume, Ed Emery
[SOAS].
The ensuing discussion will be introduced by Elisabetta Brighi [University
of Westminster]
The talk will be in Italian, but a translated abstract will be available.
Discussion will be in Italian, French and English
