EL TRABAJO COGNITIVO EN EL PENSAMIENTO OPERAISTA ITALIANO

Abstract

One of the most remarkables effects of economic globalization is the change on the nature of work. From the theoretical perspective of operaism, the emphasis is on the communicative and cognitive dimension that characterizes most of the work performance today. Writers as Paolo Virno, Andrea Fumagalli or Franco Berardi use the term cognitive work to refer to the exercise of a set of skills and dispositions that not allude to a specific kind of work, but an increasingly important part of the very nature of work in general.
