Theorists have often returned to the work of Marx, to interpret and better understand global developments and current political and economic crisis. In the Marxian Workshops: Producing Subjects combines an attempt to develop a specific reading of Marx with a set of interventions on high stakes topics in contemporary critical debates. Sandro Mezzadra offers a close reading of Marx on the ‘production of subjectivity’ as a crucial test for assessment of some of the most important Marxian concepts and of their potential for grasping the present, from the point of view of radical transformation.

In this book, we find a displaced Marx: at his own kitchen table. Displacement became a method: Marx beyond Marxism, to be found today in a new world which he however foresaw. Marx’s kitchen table which this beautiful text enables us to enter, is where proletarian bodies are in the making and the possibility of their becoming a revolutionary movement is ever present.
