The Common and Its Production

A Common Word

Pages 374-381 | Published online: 25 Aug 2010
 

Abstract

This response aims to discuss Michael Hardt's and Gigi Roggero's conception of the “common” vis-à-vis the modern notion of “public,” and to comment on the ideological, linguistic, and affective social implications of their political-economic explication.

Notes

1Among these are Casarino and Negri (Citation2008), Dyer-Witheford (Citation2006), and Hardt and Negri (Citation2009).

2Proudhon's distinction between “possession” (as the direct product of labor, or a result of social exchange, which takes place in direct relation to labor process) and “property” (as directly related with surplus accumulation) is worth reexamining in the context of this debate.

3In this context it is important to be reminded that Marx's categorical distinction between productive and unproductive labor, which I mentioned above, also was adopted from Adam Smith.

4Christian Marazzi's Capital and Language comes to mind in this context. CitationMarazzi points to the fact that the post-Fordist financialization of production also clearly posits the very direct dominance of performative linguistic and affective process over rent (2008).
