1905 in Italy (2)
Alex:
I really enjoyed this article particularly Tronti’s critique of representation. Very busy so some of these notes are sloppy and I mostly paraphrase rather than quote. This admittedly is not ideal so please, without fear for hurt feelings, do not hesitate to point out if something I’ve written is out of wack or needs clarification. I will try to go back an add some direct quotes if I get a chance.
Beginning with the end: Tronti is calling for an Italian 1905, meaning like the Russian 1905 when workers’ struggles at production prevented a political stabilization and led to innovation of organization (the soviets) thus, according to Tronti, paving the way for October 1917, which as Nate wrote, is Tronti’s symbol for revolution.
