Abstract

he text, through a comparative analysis of M. Tronti, M. Foucault and B. Trentin proposes to interpret the latter’s proposal as a biopolitical criticism of capitalist production relations. Trentin does not treat work as an economic factor but as an activity whose organization influences the worker’s existence. In particular, it negatively affects it when the employee is subjected to subordination and coercion. In this sense, the political and trade union battle for freedom and democracy at work is a biopolitical battle against the control of people’s bodies and lives. A critical biopolitics that overturns the intention of controlling the life and bodies of individuals of the liberal government of society after the end of the government created in the name of Reason of State into an action for the freedom of the person starting from work.
