Afterword—The Digital Borderlands
It was ice-cold in Minneapolis, in January 2026. However, as we know too well, ICE was present on the streets of Minneapolis in more than one sense. Hunting migrants in Latino neighbourhoods and chasing Somali residents, agents of the Immigration and Custom Enforcement wore balaclavas and deployed weapons of war—turning the city and wide stretches of Minnesota into a borderland. It was a military operation, carried out with techniques that at tim…
Pour Toni Negri (1933-2023). Notes pour une biographie de son œuvre
Cet article présente la trajectoire bio-bibliographique d'Antonio Negri. Il repart de ses travaux sur la philosophie du droit de Kant et de Hegel dans l’atmosphère intellectuelle de l’université de Padoue au tournant des années 1950-1960, préludant à sa recherche sur la « constitution matérielle » dans les années 1960 et à son intervention dans les débats sur la théorie marxiste de l’État dans la décennie suivante, aborde son engagement dans l’op…
Capitalism in the Platform Age
This open access book provides an overview of digital platforms that provide digital infrastructures for other businesses to operate on
The capitalist virus
Borders and mobilities have played key roles in the transformations of capitalism that have accompanied the COVID-19 pandemic. We attempt to distinguish novel developments in the control of movements of bodies, labour, and capital from processes of renationalisation, financialisation, and platformisation that were in train before the outbreak. Focusing on logistical techniques and technologies that govern the global circulation of people and thin…
Il capitalismo nel tempo delle piattaforme. Infrastrutture digitali, nuovi spazi e soggettività algoritmiche
The article tackles the question of platform capitalism within the framework of a general understanding of the specificity of modern and contemporary capitalism. Digital platforms, which are emerging among the winners from the current pandemic crisis, facilitate processes of capital accumulation, blur the boundaries between politics and economics, and embody a new type of firm. An emphasis is placed on the infrastructural roles performed by platf…
Movements of migration within and beyond citizenship
The article takes the lively discussion of citizenship in the 1990s as its point of departure, focusing in particular on the works by Étienne Balibar and Engin Isin. The author shows how the (illegal) migrant emerged as a paradigmatic figure in that discussion in the wake of the struggles of the sans-papiers in France and elsewhere in Europe. What characterizes the discussion of citizenship and migration since the end of the 1990s is an attempt t…
Pandemic Crisis, Struggles for the Common and the Task of Reinventing the Welfare
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Praktyka Teoretyczna journal, we have invited our long-lasting collaborators and comrades to reflect once again on the concept of the com-mon and it’s possible futures by posing the following questions: a) what is the most important aspect of the current struggles for the common?; b) what are the biggest challenges for the commonist politics of the future?; and c) where in the ongoing struggles do you see a po…
Intersectionality, Identity, and the Riddle of Class
In this essay I discuss a specific notion that has become particularly influential in framing the discussion of identity and identity politics - intersectionality. I show that the original formulation of that notion was crucially intertwined with debates on class and class politics. After shedding light on the "prehistory" of intersectionality in black feminism, I discuss the original formulations of the concept in the works of Kimberlé Crenshaw …
Migration and the Question of New Political Possibilities
This is a dialogue between Nicholas De Genova and Sandro Mezzadra, two scholars working at the edges of disciplinarity on matters of migration, capitalism, and politics. It includes questions and comments from the audience in attendance for the original public event held in London in 2015, and new questions proposed by the editors of pariss in 2020. Reflecting upon the points of departure, challenges, and turns that have marked their respective i…
Abolitionist vistas of the human. Border struggles, migration and freedom of movement
We are confronting today in many global borderscapes (including the US/Mexico borderlands and the Mediterranean Sea) a criminalization of humanitarian intervention in support of people in transit. This raises important questions with respect to the critique of the governmental turn of the ‘humanitarian reason’ articulated in recent years by critical border and migration scholars. This article discusses such questions through an engagement with th…
From Social Worker to Social Ship Owner
In this article, Michael Hardt and Sandro Mezzadra interview Alessandro Metz, social worker and "social" owner of the ship Mare Jonio, which seeks to aid and protect migrants during increasingly perilous Mediterranean Sea crossings. Metz explores the relation between social work and political activism, with particular emphasis on the writings of Franco Basaglia
The Politics of Operations
Forces and Forms
Global capitalism seems to have swept away all spatial limits to its expansion, making a simple definition of terms such as inside and outside problematic, to say the least. One of the fundamental problems we face today is that critical thought needs to forge concepts that are able to grasp the emergence of the world as a completely material dimension in which increasingly the most local of our experiences are themselves located. As a large part …
In the Marxian Workshops
Theorists have often returned to the work of Marx, to interpret and better understand global developments and current political and economic crisis. In the Marxian Workshops: Producing Subjects combines an attempt to develop a specific reading of Marx with a set of interventions on high stakes topics in contemporary critical debates. Sandro Mezzadra offers a close reading of Marx on the ‘production of subjectivity’ as a crucial test for assessmen…
Entre extraction et exploitation
Cet article vise un remaniement du concept d’exploitation dans le cadre d’un programme de recherche plus large sur le capitalisme contemporain, s’attachant à la centralité d’une logique « extractive » dans la mise en forme des opérations du capital dans des domaines aussi déterminants que la logistique et la finance. Prenant pour fil conducteur l’analyse des luttes sociales contemporaines, les auteurs abordent les failles, les tensions et frictio…
Logistical Borderscapes
This article investigates the governmental measures and policies adopted by Germany in the wake of the “long summer of migration” of 2015 to put refugees to work. Starting with a discussion of the autonomy of migration approach against the background of the multiple transformations and crises of the European border regime, the authors focus on shifting paradigms in the management of labor mobility. A short review of the emerging field of “critica…
In the Wake of the Greek Spring and the Summer of Migration
This essay sheds light on the background of the occupation of City Plaza Hotel by focusing initially on the “Greek spring,” that is, the history of struggles against austerity in Greece since the late 2000s and on the experience of the government led by Syriza in the first half of 2015. It then analyzes the development of the “long summer of migration” in 2015 and the ensuing shifts in the European border regime. The last part of the essay provid…
On the multiple frontiers of extraction
Understanding the intensification and expansion of extractive industries in contemporary capitalism requires an approach attentive not only to the literal forms of extraction prevalent in mining and agribusiness but also to new fronts of extraction emerging in activities such as data mining and biocapitalism. This article introduces the concept of operations of capital to trace connections between the expansive logic of extraction and capitalist …
A Critique of the Extractive Operations of Capital
This essay explores the lively debates around notions of extraction and extractivism in Latin America so as to expand these notions and thereby grasp the specificity of contemporary processes of the valorization and accumulation of capital within the region and beyond. Going beyond mining and the extensive agriculture that characterizes the notions of extraction and extractivism used in Latin America today, the essay seeks productive angles for a…
October! To Commemorate the Future
The best way to commemorate October 1917 is by looking forward, not back-to remember the future. We have no desire to continue drawing up balance sheets of the Soviet experience, assessing its successes and failures, identifying when the revolution went wrong, defending it from detractors, denouncing those who betrayed it, or debating theories of "totalitarianism." The time for all that has passed. The ideological clashes of the Cold War-which fo…
In the wake of the plebeian revolt
The article takes the debates surrounding the 'politics of autonomy' in Latin America as its point of departure and investigates the transformations of the political notion of autonomy against the background of developments that have characterized the so-called long decade of the new 'progressive governments' in the region. Moving beyond the alternative between 'conflict' and 'cooptation' that has shaped academic and political debates on the topi…
Co jest stawką mobilności pracy? Granice, migracje, współczesny kapitalizm
The talk starts with a short discussion of some influential works on the mobility of labour in historical and contemporary capitalism. Drawing upon a book I recently published with Brett Neilson, Border as Method, or, the Multiplication of Labour, I then discuss the significance of the proliferation of borders in the global age from the point of view of “late” capitalism. In the last part of the talk I focus on the subjective stakes of the politi…
The Postcolonial Condition
This is a reprint of our essay with the same title, published in 2005 in "Postcolonial Text". The editors considered it particularly relevant for contemporary discussions surrounding topics such as globalization, labour, and rights
New Keywords
“New Keywords: Migration and Borders” is a collaborative writing project aimed at developing a nexus of terms and concepts that fill-out the contemporary problematic of migration. It moves beyond traditional and critical migration studies by building on cultural studies and post-colonial analyses, and by drawing on a diverse set of longstanding author engagements with migrant movements. The paper is organized in four parts (i) Introduction, (ii) …
Multiplicação Das Fronteiras E Das Práticas De Mobilidade
A partir da crescente instabilidade de muitas categorias e partições epistêmicas que moldam o campo dos estudos migratórios (por exemplo, integração, migração voluntária/forçada, migrante econômico/solicitante de asilo, migrante "ilegal"), o artigo ressalta a necessidade de uma nova linguagem conceitual. Os conceitos de "inclusão diferencial" e "lutas de fronteira" são introduzidos no contexto de multiplicação e transformação das fronteiras no mu…
Between Inclusion and Exclusion
The research hypothesis that we call border as method offers a fertile ground upon which to test the potentiality and the limits of the topological approach. In this article we present our hypothesis and address three questions relevant for topology. First, we ask how the topological approach can be applied within the heterogeneous space of globalization, which we argue does not obey the dialectic of inclusion and exclusion. Second, we address th…

Operations of Capital
The article introduces a monographic issue of the Journal, edited by Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson, on "Extraction, Logistics, FInance". The article sets the frame of the issue, particularly elaborating the concept of operations of capital as an effective analytical tool for grasping the peculiarity of contemporary capitalism. The authors show that extraction, finance, and logistics provide strategic conduits of analysis to unearth key logics…
The Topicality of Prehistory
The essay discusses Marx’s analysis of ‘‘so-called primitive accumulation’’ starting from the idea that contemporary global capitalism is characterized by new enclosures and by a set of other processes long considered characteristic of the historical transition to capitalism. A reflection on this temporal short circuit leads the author to an investigation of some of the peculiarities and difficulties of Marx’s method as, for instance, the relatio…
Bringing capital back in
The article discusses the ways in which cultural and postcolonial studies have dealt with capitalism over the last three decades. While in a first phase the contribution of these studies to challenge traditional views of capitalism has been outstanding, the author contends that in recent years capital has rather disappeared from their radars. He consequently makes a "programmatic" case for "bringing capital back in" cultural and postcolonial stud…
How many histories of labour? Towards a theory of postcolonial capitalism
At the beginning of Provincializing Europe, Dipesh Chakrabarty explains that the Europe he seeks to provincialize or de-centre is an 'imaginary figure‘ that remains deeply embedded in 'clichés and shorthand forms‘. Both social sciences and political discourses of development and citizenship continue to be shaped by these. Among these clichés a certain idea of labour plays a crucial epistemic and political role. Both social and economic theory and…

Fronteras de inclusión diferencial. Subjetividad y luchas en el umbral de los excesos de justicia
The article proposes a critical analysis of the relation of justice and borders, starting from the assumption that borders no longer exist at the edge of the territory, marking the point where it ends, but have been transported into the middle of political space. Bringing together Marx's and Foucault's criticisms of the liberal theory of justice and their perspectives on the production of subjectivity, the article explores some of the multifariou…

Confini, migrazioni, cittadinanza
La proliferació de fronteres i la seva caiguda i recomposició constants són unes de les expressions més evidents de la globalització. Partint d’aquest fet, l’autor explora la nova naturalesa que les fronteres estan assumint, amb especial atenció als fluxos migratoris contemporanis, els seus aspectes turbulents i els processos que tenen associats de transformació i de redefinició de la ciutadania.

Beyond the State, beyond the Desert
The essay analyzes Michel Foucault's outright dismissal of the shift from politics to the political in a lecture he gave at the Collège de France in February 1983 against the background of the political and theoretical discussion on the topic within Italian workerism in the 1970s. Mario Tronti's theory of the autonomy of the political, which took Carl Schmitt as a fundamental point of reference, is briefly discussed and presented as a possible po…
Temps historique et sémantique politique dans la critique post-coloniale
Notre expérience du monde oscille entre deux pôles, l'unification-globalisa-tion et les turbulences. Les études postcoloniales se tiennent à la jonction, c'est tout leur intérêt. Elles remettent moins en cause la modernité que le schéma européen de la modernité, abstrait dans sa substance, linéaire dans le temps et l'espace (extension du centre aux périphéries). Les meilleures études postcoloniales sont sensibles aux ruptures dans la modernité et…

The Materiality of Communism
Arguing that the actuality of communism cannot be abstracted from the materiality of politics, this article engages with the works of Bruno Bosteels and Jodi Dean by affirming the radical innovation produced by the qualification of communism as a "real movement." This entails an examination of past and present communist struggles that accounts for their irreducible differences and multiple modes of organization. We insist that the debate on commu…
Essay
Thye article is a review essay of Vivek Chibber's recent book, Postcolonial Theory and the Specter of Capital. The publication of this book has raised lively and highly polemical debates, which are also reviewed in the artifcle. More generally, the essay discusses at length the development and the achievements of subaltern studies, testing Chibber's critique and dismissal of this important strand of critical theory. At the center of the discussio…

Radiodermatitis in Physicians
The chapter discusses recent debates on justice in political philosophy from the point of view of the new salience and multiplication of borders in the global present. The authors approach the question of justice, its excesses, and its governmentalized or distributed forms with respect to the richly implicated but not entirely philosophically reconcilable theories of the production of subjectivity offered by Marx and Foucault. Borders and boundar…
Derecho de fuga. Migraciones, ciudadanía y globalización
Más allá de las concepciones al uso sobre el hecho migratorio, existe un campo de determinación subjetiva que afirma el derecho a la movilidad como uno de los presupuestos políticos más elementales, y menos reconocidos, de nuestro tiempo. De este modo, a partir del estudio de un caso específico (el juicio del joven Weber sobre las migraciones alemanas y polacas de finales del siglo XIX), el autor pone a prueba la categoría de "derecho de fuga", p…
De la communauté d'intérêts à la lutte de classe
Dans ses écrits de jeunesse, où il étudiait les travailleurs agricoles des provinces de Prusse orientale (1892-1897), Max Weber décrit avec une grande acuité les tensions causées, simultanément et de façon intimement liée, par les transformations de régimes économiques et par les phénomènes migratoires. Entre idéaux nationalistes, conquête du marché mondial, luttes de classe et concurrence transnationale entre travailleurs, ces écrits sont pleins…

Estudios postcoloniales
Lejos de manifestar el enésimo síntoma de una era privada de la imaginación suficiente como para dotarse de nombres propios, lo postcolonial marca un tiempo de transición en el que lo antiguo permanece todavía entre nosotros, constituyendo un presente que aún no ha encontrado su forma paradigmática. En este sentido, lo postcolonial señala el fin de una época, la de los grandes imperios coloniales, seguida de la independencia del dominio colonial …

Der Afusatz stellt die Ambivalenz des kolonialen Erbe für das heutige Europa in den Mittelpunkt. Ausgehend von der Geschichte des Bürgerschaftsdiskurses und seinem Verhältnis zum kolonialen Projekt wird der Versuch gemacht, einige Merkmale der gegenwärtigen konstitutionellen Situation in Europoa zu beleuchten. Hervorgehoben wird dabei die ganz besondere Lage von MigrantInnen sowie deren Bedeutung wenn es darum geht, die Entwicklung der sich herau…
