| Sumario: | 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. |
