Abstract

By analyzing some articles that appeared in the journal «L’Ordine Nuovo», some translations carried out in February-March 1929, as well as some paragraphs of Notebooks 1, 4, 9 and in some cases also the respective second drafts, this essay intends to highlight the development of the idea of the formation of a «new human type» suited to Fordist transformations. The aim of the article is, in short, to show the connection, in the pages written by Gramsci during imprisonment, between pedagogical reflections on the formation of subjectivities in modernity and the analysis of Americanism, Fordism, Taylorism.
