For the Turin movement, producing knowledge was itself a political act

Evidence

L’Ordine nuovo was a collective eff ort composed of public intellectuals, rank and fi le, whitecollar workers, and university students, all of whom supplemented their daytoday practices with concepts that could better clarify and invigorate their mission. Forming knowledge was itself a political act. In the words of the journal, “[a]n economic and political problem is not concrete in itself, but rather because it is thought and rethought concretely by those who have the duty to transform it into historical reality.” — Clara E. Mattei, The Capital Order, 523
