La reestructuración productiva en curso

Abstract

The objective of this article is to consider some gramscians categories and to update them as categories of analusis of contemporary capitalism. We will regard the aspect concerning the actual productive restructuring as the most important topic in this work. First, we intend to recover the concept of hegemony contained in the formulations of Prision Writing Book. We will also consider at this point, organic crises and passive revolution categorires. These categories are effective to understand the crises of capital and its tentatives of resolution, just as the estrategic intervention of subordinated classes to construct hegemony. We develop, at a second moment, also using previous elements, the thesis included in texts "Americanism and Fordism". Finally, we suggest that the contemporary capitalism - under the ideological appearance of "techno-scientific revolution" - assumes a passive strategy in which the essential feature of transformism, a distinctive aspect, according to Gramsci, to name the passive revolution.
