The author argues this central idea with close reference to the concept of class struggle. He advances a theoretical proposal based on the triad subalternity-antagonism-autonomy, as well as the uneven and combined character of the processes of political subjectification. At the center of this triad, the concept of antagonism stands out as a logical principle and the core of a Marxist theory of political action. At the same time, subalternism reappears frequently, as the counter-pole of antagonistic activation and autonomous practices, and as the root of what Antonio Gramsci calls ‘passive revolutions’.Historical Materialism Book Series182.Passive resistanceSocialismPassive resistance.Socialism.322.4/201Modonesi Massimo1134660NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910793396903321The Antagonistic Principle3735265UNINA
