Antonio Negri - Marx in Movement

So I have covered, in outline, some aspects of the formation of labour power into a social subject. A very rich phenomenology could be provided for this transformation, starting from the mass worker and the history of the mass worker’s struggles. I think that such an account would confirm the theoretical and methodological assumptions I have outlined here.

In conclusion, however, I would stress that, so far, this is only a half-way stage in the analysis. For, if it is true that every scientific category concerning the relation of capital can now be understood only within a dualistic matrix , then a further logical problem arises: the question of the multiplicity and mobility of the forms of this transformation of the class subject, and how this multiformity can be grasped within a mature political concept of labour power – in other words, how we can develop a theory of the new institutionality of the proletariat in its multiple matrices. But this will have to wait for another occasion.
