Chapter André Gorz. Il valore del ‘sufficiente’
Abstract
The article reconstructs André Gorz's intellectual itinerary, with a focus on his critique of subject’s alienation due to the functioning modes of capitalist economy. From this point of view, attention is payed to Gorz's insistence on the modifications of worker’s structures and on the processes that further enhance his or her cognitive and "immaterial" aspects. The alienation of nowadays subjectivity is linked to these very aspects. However, it is precisely in the transformations of the variegated figure of work/worker that it is possible to grasp the inescapable resources of meaning for thinking and design processes to escape from capitalism.
