With the category of the “salaried intellectual,” this article intends to explore what it meant for twentieth-century Italian poets, novelists, and other artists to take up employment at the Olivetti company’s modern industrial factories. On the one hand, the economic and political resources of a successful capitalist enterprise seemed to offer the intellectual untold creative possibilities. But on the other hand, these resources seemed to place new limits on the exercise of critical thought, particularly for those intellectuals who aimed to challenge the rule of profit. The article theorizes the paradoxical figure of the salaried intellectual in European society, including their relation to previous analyses by Antonio Gramsci and Michel Foucault. It then offers a close reading of the critical theory and literature of five Olivetti employees: Franco Fortini, Giovanni Giudici, Ottiero Ottieri, Paolo Volponi and Giancarlo Buzzi.
