The basic argument is that collective cultures of activism \u2014 once bred within the Left, and traditionally rooted in industrial labour and shopfloor solidarity\u2014have been affected, on the one hand, by a \u201cconservative revolution\u201d of the Left itself, while, on the other, both the Left and its past cultures of mobilization have been transformed, destabilized, and fragmented by deindustrialization, financialization, and the rise of precarious labour. Pitting against each other ethnographic evidence from 1) the old Tenants\u2019 Union of Sesto San Giovanni (still working under a \u2013 fading \u2013 class-struggle frame), and 2) the work and action of a 5 Star Movement\u2019s (5SM) Regional Councillor, the essay shows how populism operates through what the author calls a personalization of political relations. Through ethnography of these two political formations, both active in Sesto San Giovanni and Milan in the sphere of social suffering produced by the housing market, the essay illuminates how \u201cpopulism\u201d cuts across the horizontal ties of solidarity once produced by collective politics, in order to constitute its own electoral basis of support.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Permanent Seminar Department of Anthropology, UB Taught by Giacomo Loperfido, member of the GER, with a debate led by Susana Narotzky, director of the group, the Permanent Seminar of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Barcelona will be held next Wednesday, April 9, 2025.
