Prison, Revolution & Counter Revolution: For Antonio Negri on his 90th Birthday

  • Mini Mart City Park 6525 Ellis Avenue South Seattle, WA, 98108 United States (map)

Red May Seattle presents Michael Hardt and Alberto Toscano in conversation as part of a translocal Lecture Series on the Political Philosophy of Toni Negri. 

We want to celebrate the 90th birthday of one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th and 21st century with a translocal series of lectures.

From the early writings in the frame of Operaismo and Autonomia to the broadly discussed books written with Michael Hardt, the Italian philosopher Toni Negri has explored multiple fields of thought and forged crucial concepts with the aim to understand the reality in order to transform it toward communism. In so doing he has contributed to the project of rethinking revolution in the present. The lecture series is meant as a collective embrace to Toni Negri and his living thought, affirming, showing and preserving the situated importance of his work for an uncertain future.
