The Politics of Operations
In The Politics of Operations Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson investigate how capital reshapes its relation with politics through operations that enable the extraction and exploitation of mineral resources, labor, data, and cultures. They show how capital—which they theorize as a direct political actor—operates through the logistical organization of relations between people, property, and objects as well as through the penetration of financialization into all realms of economic life. Mezzadra and Neilson present a capacious analysis of a wide range of issues, from racial capitalism, the convergence of neoliberalism and nationalism, and Marx's concept of aggregate capital to the financial crisis of 2008 and how colonialism, empire, and globalization have shaped the modern state since World War II. In so doing, they illustrate the distinctive rationality and logics of contemporary capitalism while calling for a politics based on collective institutions that exist outside the state.
In the Marxian Workshops
Brings together a close reading of Marx texts with contemporary debates on the production of subjectivity and offers a critical and postcolonial perspective on the subjectivity of labour, and contemporary capitalism.
Border as Method, or, the Multiplication of Labor
Far from creating a borderless world, contemporary globalization has generated a proliferation of borders. In Border as Method, Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson chart this proliferation, investigating its implications for migratory movements, capitalist transformations, and political life. They explore the atmospheric violence that surrounds borderlands and border struggles across various geographical scales, illustrating their theoretical arguments with illuminating case studies drawn from Europe, Asia, the Pacific, the Americas, and elsewhere. Mezzadra and Neilson approach the border not only as a research object but also as an epistemic framework. Their use of the border as method enables new perspectives on the crisis and transformations of the nation-state, as well as powerful reassessments of political concepts such as citizenship and sovereignty.
Bolivia Beyond the Impasse
A militant reading of struggles and developments in Bolivia form a balance sheet of possibility for a Left program in the country, hemisphere, and the world. Bolivia beyond the Impasse sketches the primary characteristics of the current political, social, and economic situation of Bolivia. Longtime militant researchers Michael Hardt and Sandro Mezzadra explain not only how this situation came about but also the obstacles that confront today's progressive forces and have led to an impasse. Right-wing political and social forces continue to gain strength and constantly hinder or thwart progressive initiatives. Obstacles also arise from within movements, including the vexed question of leadersh...

Un mondo da guadagnare
In Un mondo da guadagnare Sandro Mezzadra, tra i più apprezzati teorici critici contemporanei, presenta una sintesi delle sue ricerche dell’ultimo decennio, culminate nei fortunati volumi scritti con Brett Neilson sui confini e le spazialità della logistica, rilanciando sul piano dell’analisi delle dinamiche del capitalismo contemporaneo e interrogandosi sulle prospettive politiche che si aprono nel presente. Le migrazioni, l’impatto della crisi economica, il declino delle forme tradizionali della democrazia, l’emergere di nuove spazialità politiche, le forme mutevoli assunte dal lavoro e dalle dinamiche di valorizzazione del capitale: questi e altri temi sono vagliati alla luce di un dialogo con i “classici”, Du Bois, Fanon, Foucault e, soprattutto, Marx, a partire dall’esigenza di rintracciare il filo rosso che lega fenomeni troppo spesso analizzati in maniera parziale e isolata. Un mondo da guadagnare si presenta quindi non solo come un contributo critico sul presente, ma anche, e soprattutto, come un testo militante, che si vuole interno alle lotte presenti e a venire.
Migrant Anxieties
During a period of heightened global concerns about the movement of immigrants and refugees across borders, Migrant Anxieties explores how filmmakers in Italy have probed the tensions accompanying the country’s shift from an emigrant nation to a destination point for over five million immigrants over the course of three decades. Áine O’Healy traces a phenomenology of anxiety that is not only present at the sociopolitical level but also interwoven into the narrative strategies of over 30 films produced since 1990, throwing into sharp relief the interface between the local and the global in this transnational era. Starting with the representation of post-communist migrations to Italy from...
