{"title":"Marx in Movement: Operaismo in Context by Antonio Negri (review)","authors":"R.

Both Capital and the Grundrisse have, over time, provided to Workerism a foundation to understand both (the sociality of living) labor and class struggle as autonomous: socially and, then, politically instituent. Regarding the latter, Mario Tronti famously puts it this way: “[. . .] capitalist development becomes subordinated to working class struggles; it follows behind them, and they set the pace to which the political mechanisms of capital’s own reproduction must be tuned.” In Workerism, labor’s de facto social autonomy and, especially, its ability to articulate its autonomy politically is a persistent threat to capital’s ability to fix or dominate it. When it does, it does so principally through technological means; technology, over time, constitutes a part of the reorganization and political (re)activation of the working class. Capital responds; it struggles to compose from out of labor the political and technological means, however crude or sophisticated, to contain labor and extract wealth from it. This is, later on, reflected in Negri’s Spinozism where revolutions in the relations of production are neither antagonistic nor dialectical; they represent two co-extensive singularities with, today, the multitude in the lead and empire treading heavily and directly on its path. Marx in Movement illustrates Negri’s contributions to Workerism from readings of Marx’s Capital and Grundrisse and in dialogue (initially) with Raniero Panzieri, Mario Tronti, Romano Alquati, Sergio Bologna, and Mariarosa Dalla Costa, and then in a critical posture toward Keynesianism, structural-functionalism, post-industrial sociology, Marxist state theory (neo-Gramscian and German Derivationist), and finally in conversation with Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze, and more contemporary theorists, in particular, Paulo Virno, Carlo Vercellone, Yann Moulier-Boutang, Maurizio Lazzarato, and Matteo Pasquinelli. This book, especially the last chapter, argues that the methodology of Workerism is conjunctural: responsive to the changing sociality of labor as an","PeriodicalId":42938,"journal":{"name":"South Central Review","volume":"40 1","pages":"115 - 122"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46692009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the rapturous reception of the film belies the odd paucity of critical conversation, eclipsed by an explosion of \"opinions.\" This article examines the way Parasite, by offering unlimited pleasures of interpretation of its elaborate cinematic details, leaves the theme of social disparity unchallenged: a process that would be best illuminated by Walter Benjamin's phrase, \"the aestheticization of politics.\" The first part borrows from David Harvey and Bruno Latour and examines the film's spatialization of social inequality within two opposite dwellings. The second part analyzes Parasite's merging of smell and poverty, using Jacques Ranciere's term, \"the distribution of the sensible.\" The last part delves into the things abundant in Parasite, how the exotic Korean objects designed to supplement action and characterization overpower the film and thus erase sociopolitical potentialities. The fact that Parasite was financed by a South Korean chaebol, which ironically created the film's artistic aura, shows that contemporary filmmaking cannot break free from neoliberalism but has become a cultural \"parasite.\"","PeriodicalId":42938,"journal":{"name":"South Central Review","volume":"40 1","pages":"76 - 95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41473876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The seeds of this era had been planted in the 1970s with the development and expansion of women's, gay, and sexual liberation movements. Over the next generation those seeds slowly germinated until the 1990s when they bloomed with TV sitcoms, reality television, and shock jock radio that presented a barrage of obscenity, sex, and for the first time even the F-word. Added to this mix was the rise of the World Wide Web, internet, dot.com revolution, new networks, rap music, even the pharmaceutical development of Viagra. Anything Goes America was boosted primetime by two events that contributed to the rise of Infotainment--the \"Trial of the Century\" of football star O.J.

None of these aspects is entirely new in itself, but when considered together the dynamics of historical denialism are profoundly changing, becoming increasingly complex and involving ever higher political stakes. Gaining a proper understanding of this evolving situation is of key importance to know how best to react to it.The article focusses on three key aspects of recent forms of historical denialism and extreme revisions. First, historical denialism is becoming increasingly diffuse both in a geographical sense as well as in the sense that is increasingly a work of collective authorship that is strongly influenced by transnational migration patterns and the rise of new global media. A second feature of recent historical denialism is that it is increasingly a state-sponsored phenomenon that often leads to strong diplomatic tensions between states and has become a core part of geo-political strategies. Thirdly we will reflect on historical denialism's ambiguous relation to the international rise of the 'dealing with the past' agenda or the so-called liberal memory project.","PeriodicalId":42938,"journal":{"name":"South Central Review","volume":"39 1","pages":"44 - 59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42696053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
