Werner Bonefeld (ed), Revolutionary Writing: Common Sense Essays in
Post-Political Politics. Autonomedia 2003

After a century of failed attempts to bring about radical social change, th=
e
concept of revolution is itself in crisis. The resurgence of anti-capitalis=
t
movements across the globe is a hopeful sign. Yet, the most disturbing is
the contemporary indifference to revolution. What does anti-capitalism in
its contemporary form of anti-globalisation mean if it is not a practical
critique of capitalism and what does it wish to achieve if its
anti-capitalism fails to espouse the revolutionary project of human
emancipation? Anti-capitalist indifference to revolution is a contradiction
in terms. The misery of our time demands that we, once again, dream
revolution, that is, orient our theoretical and practical activities on the
ideal of the society of the free and equal. Fourteen radical essays in
"open" or "autonomous" Marxism, subverting (by critiquing) the typical
concept of the political, and examining the current configurations of the
insurrection of global labor against global capital.

Contributors include: Antonio Negri (three essays: "The Crisis of Political
Space," "Constituent Republic," and "Reappropriations of Public Space");
Harry Cleaver ("Marxian Categories, The Crisis of Capital and the
Constitution of Subjectivity Today"); George Caffentzis ("The End of Work,
or the Renaissance of Slavery?"); Mariarosa Dalla Costa ("Development and
Reproduction"); John Holloway (two essays: "In the Beginning Was the
Scream," and "Capital Moves"); Johannes Agnoli ("Destruction as the
Determination of the Scholar in Miserable Times"); Ferrucio Gambino
("Critique of the Fordism of the Regulation School"); Mike Rooke ("From the
Revolution Against Philosophy To the Revolution Against Capital'); and
Werner Bonefeld (three essays: "Human Practice and Perversion: Beyond
Autonomy and Structure," "The Politics of Change," and "The Capitalist
State: Illusion and Critique").

John Holloway is the author of Change the World without Taking Power and ha=
s
published widely on the Zapatistas. Johannes Agnoli was the theoretician of
the German 1968 and an outspoken critic of the transformation of the left
into the project of state-building Harry Cleaver is the author of Reading
Capital Politically and teaches at the University of Texas, Austin. Werner
Bonefeld is an editor of the Open Marxism series. Ferruccio Gambino has
written widely on the history of working class struggle, class composition
and was a member of the Italian Autonomia movement. George Caffentzis is th=
e
author of Clipped Coins, Abused Words and Civil Government: John Locke=B9s
Philosophy of Money. Mariarosa Dalla Costa is the author of The Power of
Women and the Subversion of the Community and a leading critic of capitalis=
t
relations of patriarchy.Antonio Negri is the author of Marx beyond Marx and
one of the leading theoreticians of Autonomia. Mike Rooke is an activist an=
d
teacher and writes regularly in What Next?
