Una contribución al análisis crítico de Imperio de Hardt y Negri desde los antecedentes del obrerismo italiano

Abstract

This work proposes a review of the different theoretical and strategic problematics that derive from the reading of Empire by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri. We begin with a review of the theoretical filiations that are involved in the development of their approach, the Italian obrerism influence and its autonomism side mainly, the contact with the French structuralism and pos-structuralism. The following is an analysis of some specific aspects of the relation established with Marx and Marxism by Empire´s theoretical construct. The hypothesis states that the polemic or problematic character of these aspects can be found partially in the reviewed background and that these come to bear in the analytic and strategic value of the authors’ final proposal.
