Coyoacán como epicentro: de la concien-cia obrera y la mano rebelde del trabajo a la marea nacional-revolucionaria

Abstract

In this text we explore Adolfo Gilly's intellectual activity prior to his "historical turn". We focus on the theoretical and political implications of his participation in the Marxist magazine Coyoacán, as well as his first attempts to understand the national-revolutionary phenomenon that led him to get close to the union leader Rafaél Galván and later to Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas. We seek to demonstrate that this period was the one with the greatest theoretical emphasis, in dialogue with Italian workerism (not always explicit) Gilly had a reading in the key of political theory and another in the key of critique of political economy.
