I recently finished my Master's thesis on Argentina's recuperated enterprise movement. I'm guessing people who read this site are familiar with it, but it consists of maybe 200 businesses that have become worker cooperatives. It's one of the largest, most spontaneous and most confrontational cases of capitalist companies becoming self-managed.
My theoretical framework is not necessarily anarchist per se, I'm mostly drawing from Andre Gorz's understanding of "workers' control". I dig pretty equally into 1) the country's 20th century labor history, 2) the current experiences of workers on the shop-floor under self-management, and 3) the way these self-managed companies relate to the working class communities around them. It's kind of long and all, but I hope maybe some folks on here are interested in reading it and posting some responses. Except for a ton of brief articles (a lot of them on ZNet) this is one of very few pieces currently available on the subject in English, and the only one to really relate it to Argentina's long history of class struggle in any depth.
Can comment on articles and discussions
Cool. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. What institution (and in what country) did you do your Master's thesis? Let me know how it is received!
The Argentinian movement clearly shows how the class struggle breaks out of our vulgar theoretical musings to engulf the conditions of everyday survival.
