| This thesis demonstrates the linkages between Marxist organization and its field of symbolic expression by examining the relations between the key concepts ("capital," "world market," "mass worker," "social factory," "Empire," etc.), organizational forms ("league," "party," "group," "network," etc.), and shared logics particular to sectarian collectivity ("the so-called primitive accumulation," "politically-constituted accumulation," "anti-economic production,"). Highlighting the undertheorized complexity of partisan discourse---evinced in a great diversity of political writings from the Communist Manifesto to Italian autonomous Marxism of the 1970s---this work synthesizes established modes of literary criticism and political analysis in order to reintroduce questions of "unpopular" production into contemporary cultural studies. |
