“Un million d’offres d’emploi”, Alfredo Bonanno

12

 

[Ce court texte d’Aflredo Bonanno date de 1995. Même si il a été produit dans un contexte différent et bien particulier (celui de l’Italie des années Berlusconi), il semble particulièrement à propos concernant les revendications réformistes “radicales” ou alternativement travaillistes portées jusque dans l’extrême gauche et chez certain-e-s libertaires ici aussi – mais aussi concernant la revendication du “Travail”, à la fois comme valeur morale (et son indispensable pendant, l’éthique du travail) et dans le fait de “réclamer du travail” (cette fois comme processus de valorisation).

June 30 saw the release of Alfredo Bonanno and Jean Weir after 100 day’s detention, leaving in prison leaving only one of the original 19 anarchist comrades arrested in the ‘blitz’ operation carried out by various sectors of the Italian police in Sicily and North Italy at the end of March. The comrade still in prison (now in the ‘special’ prison Fossombrone in Pesaro) is Massimo Gaspari, sentenced to 4 years 10 months for possession of explosives after 50 sticks of gelignite were found in his home.

Original title: Ma cose l’immaginario?, ‘ProvocAzione’ no.3, March 1987, p.6

One of the new concepts that is tending to appear with increasing frequency is that of the ‘social’, or ‘collective’, ‘imaginary’. It is nearly always thrown at you as though it were something that everyone is aware of, and is leading to attitudes and deductions that do not seem to me to be all that well founded.
