“…Efectivamente, la Autonomía de la Migración y su visión de la movilidad humana como "fuerza primordial" surgen de la corriente del Autonomismo. Después de las revueltas estudiantiles de fines de los 60, emergía la posición autónoma liderada por movimientos de asalariados y de estudiantes que se rebelaban contra el vanguardismo y burocratismo de los partidos comunistas (Cuninghame 2010). En el caso Italiano, esta tradición política se denomina Operaismo, y contó con varios esfuerzos organizativos y expresiones intelectuales por la alta actividad de la izquierda extra-parlamentaria después de los movimientos hippies.…”

Las migraciones y los controles migratorios se han convertido en objeto de máximo interés académico, institucional y mediático. Además de los enfoques convencionales sobre la movilidad humana y su gestión, han surgido interpretaciones alternativas con repercusiones epistemológicas, metodológicas y políticas. Este artículo se centra en la emergencia de la escuela de pensamiento llamada “la Autonomía de la Migración”. A través del análisis de las obras de varios autores y proyectos (algunos cartográficos), que se han ido consolidando como referentes de esta tradición política, teórica y metodológica, identificamos una serie de conceptos clave y realizamos una genealogía de dicha escuela de pensamiento, dando a conocer los múltiples contextos donde surge y se difunde entre varias disciplinas e iniciativas activistas, incluyendo algunas de las reacciones críticas a sus posibles limitaciones. Abordamos algunas de sus consecuencias metodológicas a través de un ejemplo empírico.Migration movements and migratory controls are becoming a hot topic within academia, governmental institutions and media circles. Beyond conventional approaches to human mobility and its management, alternative interpretations are surfacing with important epistemological, methodological and political repercussions. This piece focuses on the emergent school of thought known as “Autonomy of Migration”. By engaging the textual production and projects (including cartographies) of key authors and collectives of this tradition, we identify central concepts of this political, theoretical and methodological school of thought. We also trace a genealogy of this tradition, pointing to the different historical contexts from which it emerged and expanded to several scholarly fields and activist initiatives, including some of the critical reactions to its possible limitations. This article includes a brief discussion on its methodological underpinnings through an empirical case.

“…More broadly, the work of Negri and Hardt has been used to theorize how digital networks are intrinsic to the new social formations and movements that reflect the interests of a diverse global 'multitude' (Hardt and Negri 2001;Hardt and Negri 2006). Autonomism has therefore been used as a framing of broad social movements in which class identity and organization are of lesser importance than causes such as antiglobalization, social justice or action on climate change (Cuninghame 2010). Reflecting on the decline of the industrial working class and the rise of new political collectivities, Negri suggests that the metropolis rather than the individual workplace is the new focus of political activity and accordingly calls for new forms of 'militant metropolitan inquiry' (Negri 2018: 52).…”

Postdigital Possibilities: Operaismo, Co-research, and Educational Inquiry

There are parallels between the post-Marxist traditions of operaismo (workerism) and autonomism and emerging ideas about the 'postdigital'. Operaist analyses and approaches, and particularly the work of Romano Alquati on co-research, have the potential to contribute to discourses as to what might be involved in postdigital inquiry in educational settings, and to better understand of critical data literacies. For such educational inquiry to evolve into a comprehensive strategy of 'co-research', it is argued that what is needed are models of teacher inquiry with the potential to challenge dominant rhetorics, to support emancipatory research and development, and to establish the postdigital as a counter-hegemonic educational programme.

“…One of the ways in which this might be actualized is when new spaces and temporalities are created (Negri, 2003: 185). This might take on the form of political movements (Cuninghame, 2010; Lorey, 2015), but the common can also emerge out of workers’ initiatives. For instance, Gielen (2015) has argued that the decreasing status of cultural institutions gives way to an artistic multitude.…”

Creative work, self-organizing and autonomist potentiality: Snapshots taken from Amsterdam’s art factories

This article argues that while creative spaces are believed to instigate creative production, their strongest value is in producing new possibilities for self-organizing. By zooming in on short snapshots of resistance against gentrification in creative spaces in Amsterdam, I investigate whether small-scale and grass-roots forms of resistance and self-organizing between independent workers in the creative industries can be understood as examples of the autonomist notions of ‘the common’ and ‘the multitude’. By placing observations of creative workers’ self-organizing practices alongside autonomist theory, I suggest that autonomist thought is a promising philosophy for a politicized view of creative production, because it celebrates multiplicity and uniqueness. This is a timely topic in a society with growing numbers of freelancers and increasing flexibilization of labour. This article contributes to research on self-organizing among creative workers and to the literature on work conditions in the creative industries.
