The research of Giovanni Bozzoli is based on the analysis of the emancipating role of autonomous communities and social cooperation in the neo-capitalist era. Over the past century, a process of hyper-normalisation has taken place that partially dissolved traditional community-based solidarity networks, and gave way to a type of atomized individual unable to create and sustain meaningful social relationships. Under those conditions, subjectivity has become reduced to functioning in a binary way: To produce and consume. This “consumerist existentialism,” as Bozzoli describes it in an eponymous manifesto, results in a zero sum game that can only be resisted through imagination and the creation of new alliances among people and organisations.
