ABSTRACT

This article presents three general characteristics of Italian Theory: the ontological primacy of conflict in politics, the interrelation of nature and history, and the importance of work in any philosophy of praxis. The three represent the vital core of political philosophy in Italy, commonly grouped under the heading of biopolitics. I contend that, to achieve a better formulation of the relation between the three themes mentioned, we should not forget the work of materialist feminists such as Fortunati and Federici. Their work constitutes an original development of some of the central themes of Italian Theory. The article explores first the idea of an extension of the borders of work, taking reproductive labour into account. Secondly, it covers the idea of primitive accumulation as a continuous silent conflict underpinning society. Lastly, it addresses the idea that female oppression by males produces the reproductive body, which is simultaneously historical and material.

本文介绍了意大利理论的三个一般特征：政治冲突的本体论优先性，自然与历史的相互关系以及工作在任何实践哲学中的重要性。这三个代表了意大利政治哲学的重要核心，通常归类为生物政治。我认为，为了更好地表述上述三个主题之间的关系，我们不应该忘记诸如富图纳蒂和费德里奇这样的唯物主义女权主义者的著作。他们的工作构成了意大利理论的一些中心主题的原始发展。本文首先探讨了扩大工作范围的想法，同时考虑了生殖劳动。其次，它涵盖了原始积累的思想，将其作为支撑社会的持续的无声冲突。最后，
