On the Dialectic of Productive and Unproductive Labour Today
Abstract
In this paper I will try to recover for the present the Marxian notions of productive and unproductive labour, with the aim of, through a critique of the positions initiated by Negri in relation to productive labour, illuminating the present from the perspective of Robert Kurz's theory of collapse. In this way, what I intend is a reorientation of the approaches to these Marxian categories today in order to realise a critical theory of capitalism at the level of the decomposing present.
