| Italy's experience of workers' movements in the 1970s and the singularity of its 'creeping May' has led radical thinkers linked to the left-wing political group Potere Operaio to conceive of this particular part of history as a 'laboratory' for the globalized post-Fordist society of the 1990s. The key concepts of autonomia, comunità, fare società, auto-organizzazione, and esodo have become the ingredients for a politics of counter-narration and of 'ambivalence' (Virno) through the feminist practice of self-narration (Cavarero), while a new 'sense of self' has been constructed through narratives of precarietà that valorize the interactive and ethical aspects of storytelling (Brooks, 1994; Kearney, 2002). By examining Beppe Grillo's blog-book Schiavi moderni (2007), Aldo Nove's 'docudrama' Mi chiamo Roberta, ho 40 anni, guadagno 250 euro al mese(2006) and Ascanio Celestini's narrativized documentary Parole sante (2007), I will demonstrate that the subjectivity of precariousness in Italy is still linked to a sense of 'community' that is constructed against and outside the system of (post)capitalist society. |
