Narrating is Fighting. Mitopoiesis and Politics in Wu Ming´s Work

Abstract

The current essay aims to point out the connection between Wu Ming´s political and narrative bet and the Italian postoperaist philosophy. To that end, we will do an historical contextualization to the birth of the collective, an analysis to his concept of mitopoiesis regarding virnians studies about postfordist labour and a study about the link between Toni Negri´s letters devoted to the art matter and the way in which Wu Ming self-understand their work and the figure of the artist par excellence: the narrator. All this without ignoring the political background of these reflections.
