Research interests:
Matteo Mandarini's research has focused on the relation of conflict to the transformations of capitalism; in particular on ways to think the organisation of conflict. He has written on Italian post-War communist thought (Negri, Tronti, Cacciari) as well as on French poststructuralism (Deleuze and Guattari), and on Heidegger and Schmitt. He is currently engaged in research on the question of the ‘autonomy of the political’ within Italian Marxism, through a consideration of the Italian Workerist appropriation of the thought of Lenin, Weber, Heidegger, Schmitt and Jünger.
He has translated numerous books and essays by Antonio Negri, most recently, The Labor Job (Duke University Press). He has also translated Giorgio Agamben's The Kingdom and the Glory: For a Theological Genealogy of the Economy and of Government (with Lorenzo Chiesa) (Stanford) and The Western Passage: Philosophy and Globalization (Verso) by Giacomo Marramao.
Matteo is part of the editorial collective of the journal Historical Materialism.
