I ordered it from verso and posted the amazon price to show they're offering a paltry penny off compared to the 30 / 50% off at verso

Took your point - no criticism was intended.

Reading, and mostly enjoying, this Commoning with George Caffentzis and Silvia Federici at the moment.
One for fans of Midnight Notes.

I was sure I had that on my to read pile but apparently not. Will definitely be picking it up on the next go round.

Yeah I’m going to read that Tronti slowly when the weather is worse. There’s a bit of it in the Semiotexte Autnomia issue that I am reading slowly now.
Looking forward to that Commoning one though. I am also working through the Midnight Notes stuff and adding it to Libcom. Slowly.

Really, I'm absolutely loving it. Even just leaving aside the politics the language is just great.

To come back to this, I know the reading group on populism kind of died a death but do you think that a reading group for Tronti might help you with it?
While the populism thread didn't really get that much discussion going having it both helped me make sure I read the book and writing stuff down helped me develop my thoughts.
I'd certainly be up for another go at trying to get a U75 reading group up and running.

I think the thing, for me, with the Revelli was that I read it really quickly and I couldn't disagree with it.
The Tronti I'm sure I'll get into. I dunno about a reading group - though I'm happy to try and join in one - maybe just worth chatting on this thread?

Yeah that might work best.
(It will be a while before I can contribute anyway, I've got to get through Chris Binkerton's Pelican primer on the EU and return it to the library first)

Not yet. Need to clear a backlog first.
Long interview with Ferruccio Gambino here, someone very much in the Sergio Bologna school (worked together on Primo Maggio) rather than Negri's.
The Revolt of Living Labor: An Interview With Ferruccio Gambino - Viewpoint Magazine
I must say that in the early months after I returned to Milan from the United States, Sergio Bologna’s help was indispensable to me. He was not yet thirty and already a well-known historian of contemporary Germany, of the working class movement in the 20th century, and had gone through the experience of Quaderni Rossi and Classe Operaia. I had sensed that he had already a critical perspective about the Bolshevik tradition when I first met him in 1965. The same was true of Giairo Daghini, then an assistant to the chair of theoretical philosophy at the Università Statale in Milan. I met him in the fall of 1967. Giairo helped me to make ends meet with my translations and book reviews in late 1967 and early 1968, as he also knew the publishing world in Milan. He was knowledgeable about the Eastern world and understood the limits of actually existing socialism.

edit: i hadn't noticed there's an intro piece as well:
Capitalist Faultlines and Subterranean Resistances: Traces of Struggle in the Work of Ferruccio Gambino - Viewpoint Magazine
The following interview with Ferruccio Gambino was conducted over a series of meetings in Padua in April and May 2019. It includes discussions that, apart from serving as a point of entry into Gambino’s important body of work and political trajectory, illustrate the depth of his commitment to militant inquiry. The scope of the questions posed, taken with the precision and intensity of Gambino’s reflections, makes this conversation particularly valuable for anyone interested in the politics of radical solidarity and its renewal today. What might such a project look like? Gambino helps us see the force this question obtains when working-class confrontations against exploitation erupt on a larger plane, and what is at stake in those instances (it would be more appropriate to say periods) where they do not. Indeed, if we think in terms of Gambino’s own itinerary, we can glimpse a unique attempt to render these confrontations and practical acts legible in an expanded register, to push them “against the grain” of more provincialized concerns, and to enlarge the sphere of attention paid to class struggles past and present. Collective aspirations, even if they are often submerged or subterranean, always exist.

Not yet - there is a bit of it in the Semiotext(e) Autonomia anthology that I found quite difficult but that might be the translation / lack of context / fact that it was surrounded by a lot of Deleuzian guff.

I've got hold of a hard copy now (made the University library order one in
) so, yeah, will be giving it another go asap. Not cover to cover though, cherry picking bits of interest.redsquirrel

I do think some parts are more readable than others. I started off with the Lenin in England section which I thought was great, then went back to the start and found the Marx Yesterday and Today section harder to get into (though that just might be me being more tired after term started).
I'm planning to use the time when we are striking it really try and get into it.

I dipped into Women and the Subversion of the Community: A Mariarosa Dalla Costa Reader the other day and enjoyed it. Got some Federici on my pile too.

I'm a couple of sections into it (started reading it along with the Revelli populism book after i'd seen you mention reading both on the Reading Populism thread - will add my thoughts on the first couple chapters of that soon). Finding it very hard going, which I'm putting down to my very limited reading of Marx. Will try skipping ahead to the the Lenin in England section and going back to the start after.

I'll do it this afternoon
I've read up to the end of "Marx Yesterday and Today" and feel like I'm wading through treacle. If it keeps on like this someone can have my physical copy (which is as new) and I'll bin the pdf. I think it's more his style rather than content that I'm struggling with, he's not exactly succinct is he
