To do so, it is proposed to focus on the problem of working time as it becomes a privileged locus for addressing subjection, antagonism, and emancipation in Gauny. It will seek to show that his philosophy consists in a "conversion of the self" to confront the malaise of the proletarian condition, the cause of which he mainly locates in the extraction of vital time and its subjection to the abstract time of Capital. Cenobitic asceticism and its exercises imply a work on oneself that allows one to "make time", to re-appropriate stolen time and to open an autonomous space-time within the dominant temporality. What is at stake here is the possibility of creating other ways of inhabiting time and working methods, but also the conditions for radicalizing collective struggles. El presente artículo propone leer la filosofía cenobítica de Gabriel Gauny (1806-1886) como una articulación singular entre inquietud de sí y antagonismo que permitiría delinear una forma histórica de lo que Michel Foucault llamó una “subjetividad revolucionaria”. Para hacerlo se propone centrarse en el problema del tiempo de trabajo ya que se torna un locus privilegiado para abordar la sujeción, el antagonismo y la emancipación en nuestro autor. Se buscará mostrar que su filosofía consiste en una “conversión de sí” para hacer frente al malestar de la condición proletaria, cuya causa sitúa principalmente en la extracción del tiempo vital y su sujeción al tiempo abstracto del Capital. La áskesis cenobítica y sus ejercicios de moderación implican un trabajo de sí que permite “hacerse tiempo”; reapropiarse del tiempo robado y abrir un espacio-tiempo autónomo al interior de la temporalidad dominante. En este intervalo se juega la posibilidad de crear otras formas de habitar el tiempo y modalidades de trabajo, pero también las condiciones para radicalizar luchas colectivas.

| description |
This article proposes to read Gabriel Gauny's cenobitic philosophy as a singular articulation between self-concern and antagonism that would allow us to delineate a historical form of what Michel Foucault called a "revolutionary subjectivity". To do so, it is proposed to focus on the problem of working time as it becomes a privileged locus for addressing subjection, antagonism, and emancipation in Gauny. It will seek to show that his philosophy consists in a "conversion of the self" to confront the malaise of the proletarian condition, the cause of which he mainly locates in the extraction of vital time and its subjection to the abstract time of Capital. Cenobitic asceticism and its exercises imply a work on oneself that allows one to "make time", to re-appropriate stolen time and to open an autonomous space-time within the dominant temporality. What is at stake here is the possibility of creating other ways of inhabiting time and working methods, but also the conditions for radicalizing collective struggles. |
