Disrupting carbon lock-in from below
Deep decarbonisation requires overcoming carbon lock-in and prioritising green ‘phase-in’ over necessary ‘phase-out’ strategies in fossil fuel-intensive energy and industrial sectors. This article analyses a case of localised transformative agency in Civitavecchia (Rome metropolitan area, Italy), a territory dependent on a major coal-fired power plant. Integrating a power resource framework with literature in environmental labour studies, we exam…
Eco-social Convergence in Europe
The article posits that climate mobilizations can contribute to a renewal of internationalism. The argument develops in three steps: (1) the failure of market-based, UN-led global climate governance (or ecological transition “from above”) is assessed; (2) the rise of a class-based alternative to it, as exemplified by the myriad activist campaigns and industrial disputes fought under the radical “just transition” banner both before (2018–19) and a…
Esperienza operaia dell'ecologia e ambientalismo del lavoro all'Italsider/Ilva di Taranto. Dagli anni Cinquanta al 2018
L'articolo esplora il rapporto contraddittorio tra esperienza operaia dell'ecologia e ambientalismo del lavoro nel caso studio dell'Italsider/(ex)Ilva di Taranto, sulla base metodologica dell'etnografia sociale. La tesi di fondo è che una nuova analisi – qualitativa e storiograficamente solida – di tale, complessa relazione renda possibile da un lato destrutturare l'opposizione, apparentemente naturale, tra occupazione e salute, e dall'altro apri…
The Anthropocene as a regime of visibility
The discourse of the 'Anthropocene' has quickly become pervasive, cross-cutting different fields of knowledge.However, it is also a deeply contested category.In the critical light shed by political ecology, we reflect on the conceptual blindspots that mark its narrative, identifying it as a symptom of a broader impasse of the neoliberal governmentality of nature and of the ecological crisis today.On the one hand, the Anthropocene narrative propos…

Écologie politique et justice climatique
L'écologie politique italienne est aujourd'hui un espace de mobilisation et de réflexion politique qui offre la possibilité de faire un retour sur l'histoire des mouvements sociaux depuis la seconde moitié du 20 e siècle. Les auteurs inscrivent les récentes mobilisations contre des grands ouvrages et pour la justice climatique dans la continuité - plutôt que dans la rupture - avec la longue histoire du mouvement ouvrier italien et de ses luttes c…
Italian theory e world-ecology. Per una teoria della crisi ecologica del capitalismo contemporaneo
The article aims at articulating insights from Italian Theory and World-Ecology. Its goal \nis to show that, although such perspectives relate to the issue of (ecological) crisis in very \ndifferent terms, they can effectively integrate each other if transposed on another theoretical \nlevel - that of a labour-based genealogy of the question concerning the environment. From \nsuch convergence a new interpretation of the ecological crisis of conte…
Italian perspectives on world-ecology. Introduction
The paper introduces the special issue on Italian perspectives on world ecology
Lien valeur-nature dans la pensée d'André Gorz
Introduction Mon intérêt pour la pensée de Gorz a toujours été ‘instrumental’ plutôt qu’’interprétatif’ : dans le livre que j’ai récemment publié en italien (Leonardi, 2017a) il n’y a aucune reconstruction systématique de sa trajectoire socio-philosophique – la biographie de Willy Gianinazzi (2016) et la recherche de Françoise Gollain (2018) satisfont pleinement la nécessité d’un cadre exégétique solide. Ma tentative est plutôt d’utiliser l’œuvre…
Working-class ecology and union politics
This paper argues that Environmental Labour Studies may benefit from incorporating the perspective of environmental justice. We offer a theorization of working-class ecology as the place where working-class communities live and work, being typically affected by environmental injustice, and of working-class environmentalism as those forms of activism that link labour and environmental struggles around the primacy of reproduction. The paper’s theor…
Bringing Class Analysis Back in
Borges y Escher
In baroques labyrinths it get consumed the perverse pleasure of artificious complexity, the enthusiasm for a virtual architecture able to metaphorise the endless trajectories of an inextricable universe. One of the evidents signs of neo-baroque crisis in Borges’s poetics is, without doubts, the presence of labyrinth’s geometrical metaphors. Also Escher, through his graphics representations of the unestable equilibrium between illusion and disillu…
Border Struggles
The review assesses first and foremost the capability of Mezzadra and Neilson’s book to radically tackle some urgent issues concerning both capital’s regulation of migratory movements and the subjective autonomy these latter incessantly express. The main original contribution of the text is a conception of the border as an epistemic device through which to address and act upon a variety of social processes, from migration policies to labour trans…
Foucault in the Susa Valley
People who talk about revolution and class struggle without referring explicitly to everyday life, without understanding what is subversive about love and what is positive in the refusal of constra
Stop that train! Ideological conflict and the TAV
The Susa Valley situated between Maurienne, France and Turin, Italy, has been urbanised by the economic development of the region. Scarred by infrastructure like the Frejus highway, an international railway, and numerous dams, tunnels and industries, this "development" has had significant environmental and social impacts. The high speed train line (Treno Alta Velocitŕ in Italian, or TAV) between Turin and Lyon is planned at the intersection of 2 …
