[Generation_online] Reading programme?

[Arianna Bove]

Dear all,

building the reading list, what about adding to the first theme sections  3 
and 6 of Negri's 'The politics of subversion' (Polity Press, 1989):  'From 
the mass worker to the socialised worker' and 'Expropriation in mature 
capitalism'?  or are they too old?
I am not sure whether it would be better to work on one section at the time 
and get on with the reading or do the whole bibliography first and then 
start at a later date. I agree that we need to divide the labour. some time 
ago Soenke proposed to suggest readings on biopolitical thought. I would 
like to help with that. I suppose it would be part of the third section, 
with Agamben's homo sacer.
