Description
Summary:Co-research is not simply worker’s inquiry. Although it retains some of the hereditary features, co-research represents a radical reformulation of the Marxist model of inquiry, a methodological and political reinvention in a changed context and according to new objectives. The following extract from Romano Alquati (taken from , Velleità Alternative, 1994, pp. 70–81) measures this gap, trying to indicate the affinities and divergences between the author’s argument and the practice of worker’s inquiry, with the aim of proposing a schema of co-research valid for the range of social conflicts that have taken shape following the crisis of the Fordist compromise and the Keynesian politics of the postwar period.
