In questo articolo il concetto di lavoro è messo in tensione a partire dall'analisi delle pratiche contadine che popolano la rete di Genuino Clandestino. Tre sono i vettori di analisi che attraversano questa inchiesta sulle pratiche contadine: il venir meno di una linea di separazione tra lavoro produttivo e lavoro riproduttivo, in favore di una "praticabilità della vita" che caratterizza l'ethos del ritorno alla terra; il decentramento dell'eccezionalismo umano in favore della sperimentazione di pratiche agronomiche che riconoscono il ruolo attivo di molteplici entità più-che-umane dentro al lavoro della terra; i beni comuni come comunità di pratiche nelle quali la trasformazione sociale non è separabile dalla rigenerazione materiale. Attraverso l'analisi delle sperimentazioni agroecologiche portate avanti dalla comunità di Mondeggi Bene Comune, in quest'articolo l'autore invita a pensare al ruolo del lavoro nella transizione ecologica a partire dalle pratiche di cura e di riparazione materiale che contraddistinguono le forme nuove del lavoro della terra.

Emanuele Leonardi's book explores the possibility of thinking with Gorz a possible bridge between degrowth and autonomous marxism. By taking seriously Leonardi's call for staying with the political potentialities emerged during the period 1968-1973, here I would like to offer a contribution for thinking autonomy in more than human worlds. My provocation on the limits of historical materialism in facing the challenges of the ecological crisis is a lure for fostering further discussions on the relation between materialism and activism in the Anthropocene.

How do social movements respond to the ecological crisis? In this paper, we reframe social movements as 'more-than-social movements' to highlight the fact that many contemporary mobilisations do much more than target recognised social institutions and political governance; indeed, they are practically transforming eco-societies with and within both the human and the nonhuman world. What constitutes the core of more-than-social movements' action is the capacity to set up alternative ecologies of existence, or 'alterontologies', as we call them in the paper. In what follows, we engage with the imaginaries and practices of agroecology, AIDS treatment activism and permaculture in order to rethink what autonomy and justice might look like in the context of today's ecological crisis.

This article explores the presence of noise in processes of communication and organisation in social movements. While the concept of noise has always had a role in discussions of communication, it is in light of the influence and use of social media that it comes to the fore as crucial in terms of how we understand communication. Rather than being a factor that interferes with effective communication, we will argue that noise is in fact inseparable from the experience of receiving information and organising through social media. Furthermore, the emergence of different 'nuances' of noise tells us something about different dynamics of self-organisation via social media. This article analyses the online forms of organisation of the 15M movement and the experiences of Dutch radical left activists to inform a better appreciation of the radical potential of a certain variant of noise: pink noise.
