ABSTRACT

The aim of this article is twofold. On the one hand, it is an attempt at systematizing a series of reflections and concepts elaborated by a number of studies that appeared in the last decade. This research comes from scholars in different disciplines, but who identify, even in their internal differences, with a method of analysis rooted in the Italian Workerist thought of the 1960s. For this reason, it is a work in progress, and has no pretense of being exhaustive. 1 On the other hand, it ambitiously tries to communicate and clarify an issue that has provoked much debate in the last few years, especially in the field of heretic and heterodox thought, that is to say, the analysis of the salient characteristics of the current state of capitalism.
