Leggiamo Tronti

Nate:

I made the electronically available excerpts of the book that I’m aware of, listed below, into links along the right hand column under the heading “Tronti primary sources”. The correspondence of these excerpts to the book’s pagination is listed below.

Nate:
I’ve been sick lately which has slowed me down. As a result, behind schedule. Anyway, notes now on the rest of the introduction, just quotes culled, nothing systematic. Also, page references are only to the Spanish edition, I’ll go over this section again with the Italian when I get time.

From the intro - “What interests us is everything that has in itself the force of growth and development. It interests us to know that this force is today possessed almost exclusively by workers though. ” (p16/p11 S/I eds.)

sono molti begli come tutti i communisti. (Bei? Communiste? Il mio italiano non e’ molto buono. Mi dispiace.)

The plan here is simple. To read Tronti and take notes. The blog will be a filing system, and a self-incentive to do said note taking. Other participants are very much welcome and happily added to as authors or whatever the term is here.

Soon I’ll post links to the existing English translations of excerpts, afloat somewhere on the interweb, and how these excerpts correspond to the Spanish and Italian editions. I’ll also start compiling links to secondary and related materials.

a presto,
Nate
