Modonesi, Massimo
Subalternity, Antagonism, Autonomy
Constructing the Political Subject
Foreword by John Holloway
London: Pluto Press, 2014, XVI, 208
Translation of Modonesi, Subalternidad, antagonismo, autonomía (2010), with a new "Afterword: Passive Revolutions in Latin America".
In this bold and innovative book Massimo Modonesi weaves together theory and political practice by relating the concepts of subalternity, antagonism and autonomy to contemporary movements in Latin America against neo-liberalism. In a sophisticated account Modonesi reconstructs the debates between Marxist authors and schools of thought in order to sketch out informed strategies of resistance. He reviews the works of Gramsci, Negri, Castoriadis and Lefort, and engages with the arguments made by E. P. Thompson, Spivak, Laclau and Mouffe. Subalternity, Antagonism, Autonomy firmly roots key theoretical arguments from a range of critical thinkers within specific political movements in order to recover these concepts as analytical instruments which can help to guide contemporary struggles in Latin America and beyond.
