"Being attacked by the enemy is good." "Let's popularise the popular struggles... against imperialism." "Let the foreign serve the national." "When revolutionaries analyse the people's war... the bourgeoisie gets scared." "It realises that analysing the people's war... will serve to forje weapons against them... against its State apparatus, its police, its army." "...they take the weapons to destroy their State aparatus... its police, its army, to put an end to its dictatorship." "To be... attacked..."

"Failure of practice." "You speak of sexuality like something in itself." "You haven't understood or criticised Freud." "And, for example, looking to make love better, you do it in the afternoon." "Practice." "When you have nothing to do, you go on making love in the afternoon." "You are right." "Deep inside maybe we should ask ourselves... why can we make love this afternoon." "Because we have time." "Because we want to." "Theory." "We have time to make love in the afternoon."

"A step ahead or a step into the void?" "Practice." "You are in the factory." "You join the working class." "Theory." "Theory comes from practice, and you believe being in the factory... will allow you to better understand the class struggle in Italy." "What happens?" "Because you have integrated yourself in production... you believe you will be able to produce a just political line." "But, how have you integrated it?" "A bit by luck."

"You said that in a given moment... it is necessary for the couple to have a child... that we have a child." "Yes, because I thought about the history of our struggle and in stages..." "Overcome a stage may be, for us, to have a child." "And that is where the bourgeoisie awaits us." "Becuase while it's just the two of us it tolerates us." "And with a child, it tolerates even more... because then we would be a family... and we'd be reinserted in the bourgeois world." "You admit that in that you have no children... and, on the other hand, the bourgeoisie keeps having them." "You admit it because if couples like us have children... by this very fact they are reinserted in the bourgeoisie... by this very fact they are reinserted in the bourgeoisie..." "Why?" "Practice." "To become a revolutionary couple... you have to overcome a stage." "Transformed practice." "Carry out an active struggle against the bourgeois ideology of family."

"It is a problem of political education... for you... for me... for him, for us." "OK." "You say it is necessary to fight against the bourgeois ideology of family." "But if this ideology gives so much strength..." "I'm saying something trivial, but..." "It is true we are in a society of classes... and it is true that the bourgeoisie is in power... and it is true that, for that very reason, our struggle has its limits... and that it must be integrated in a larger struggle."

"In the first part of the film I said:" ""Leave it, tomorrow we'll see"." "In the second part of the film, I saw that it was the wrong way... and that in fact I had nothing to say to him." "Then I thought that going to the factory, like him, would bring us closer." "There I learned that things aren't that simple." "But it is not that simple." "If I can answer now it is because I discovered my own situation." "Discover means... making a concrete analysis and making it concretely." "Discoverin that the social existence of men... determines their way of thinking means... disconvering the contradictions of my social existence." "Discovering with Engels... that the movement itself is a contradiction... discovering the struggle of these contradictions." "Ideology." "Ideological struggle."

"In the social sciences contradiction between opressed and opressors..." "Contradiction between rich and poor... the opressed and the opressors the intelectuals and the workers." "Contradiction between the social classes." "All divergence in human conceptions... must be considered a reflection." "Reflections, objective contradictions." "Objective contradictions when reflected, when reflected... in subjective thought... form the contradictory movement of concepts... stimulate the development of ideas... and solve the problems that human thought poses." "Third part of the film." "It is introduced by a reflected image." "A reflected image like the images in the first part?" "No." "Having criticised at the beginning of the second part... this notion of reflection, I later realised... that this notion of reflection didn't come from burgeois ideology... but that it was the mechanism of all ideology." "Ideology." "Necessarily imaginary relation of myself... with my conditions of existence." "The problem is not the reflection in itself... but that of the struggle between a reflection that denies the objective contradiction... and a reflection that expresses them." "The struggle between the burgeois ideology that wants that the world stays the same... and the transforming ideology that wants to transform it." "Third part of the film." "With the elements of the second part... rethink the mechanism of ideology... that acts in the first and second parts of the film." "Third part of the film." "Repeat what I have said so far... but given that this is a film... repeat it with images and sounds." "Third part of the film." "Investigation... work, struggle... programme of struggle." "No one can save us... neither God, nor Cesar, nor CP." "What happened?" "Third part of the film." "Investigation." "Something has changed." "Something has changed for me since the first part of the film... because of the second part." "Evaluate this change." "Go back from what has been said in the second part." "I said..." ""The social existence of men determines their way of thinking"." "And I said:" ""The objective contradictions... form the contradictory movement of concepts"." "Go back from there." "Think in the relation between my thought... and my social conditions of existence... and with that which defines them, that is... today, in Italy, the capitalist relations of production." "Place, thus, my discourse between two shots of relations of production." "Relations of production." "Place my discourse." "Capitalist relations of production." "Place my discourse between two shots of capitalist... relations of production." "Why always this black image in this chain of images?" "Where does my discourse come from?" "It comes from my relation with what was... before this black image and also with whatever will come after." "Thus, from the fact that I think about my relation... with the relations of production today, in Italy." "Now, taking all this into account, rethink the first part of the film." "No one can save us... neither God, nor Cesar, nor CP." "In the first part, there was a black image here... now a workshop... that is, an image of a relation of production." "In the first part, after this black image... there followed a shot of me, buying a sweater." "And afterwards once more a black image." "But now we see a factory... that is, a relation of production." "In the first part, for example, instead of the factory... there was a black image and a voice that said: "Family"." "And now we see a factory... that is, a relation of production... and afterwards an image of me eating with my family." "These shots of the first part, what meaning do they acquire... now that they are placed between two shots of relations of production?" "To answer this... to ask ourselves about this mechanism of ideology... in the first part of the film... we will use another example:" "the university." "...the relativists have got rid..." "We have a shot were I attend a class at university..." "In the first part there was a black image... and a voice announced: "University"." "We now hear that voice giving... a History of Science class." "...once and for all, that shall the physical phenomena take place..." "It is the voice that will call me for examination." "It is the voice of the professor or the beadle." "The voice of the university apparatus... the voice of the State in the universitary sector" "...eternal canon of the human intelect... that has constructed not only science, but before it... the world of common sense..." "Ideology always expresses itself... inside a material ideological apparatus... that organises things materially according to a practical ritual." "There, I'm at university." "I attend a lesson, then I take an exam." "All this works only... because I admit that I am part of this ideological apparatus." "There, I am a student and I recognise myself, thus, as a universitary subject." "When the professor calls me in I shall obey." "M7 2464" "It's me." "Paola Taviani, is it you?" "Yes, it's me." "Shall I go?" "It's your turn." "They have called me, I have recognised myself, I have obeyed." "That's how things worked." "That's how I worked." "But, what things?" "Bloody physics!" "At this point one wonders about the question of progress." "Let's listen to this voice." "...a profound exam of the relativist theories... shows that their novelty has to be questioned." "In fact, there can be no doubt about the clear continuity... between this recent degeneration of scientific theories... and the phases that have preceded it..." "This voice says that science is a language." "It talks of just and false ideas, of ideas in themselves, without saying where they come from." "This voice doesn't talk of real conditions... of the existence of the scientific practice." "In reality, this voice states that the thought of men... is not determined by their social existence." "It is the voice of idealism." "It falsifies, lies, puts in black images." "To this voice I have replied." "Everything is in everything and vice-versa!" "Then everything is everything and vice-versa!" "In relation to what?" "In relation to my militant practice." "WE SHALL SHOOT OFFICERS, BOSSES, PARLAMENTARIES AND PRIESTS" "In the first part of the film my life was a conflict." "There, I opposed the professor... agent of the universitary ideological State apparatus." "There, my father... he too is an agent of the familiar ideological State apparatus." "Here, the police, the most evident agent of the State apparatus." "What are you doing?" "Documents!" "Documents!" "Documents!" "Thus, conflict among numerous practices." "Conflict between myself passing an exam and thus... obeying the burgeois ideology and me trying to fight it." "Result of this conflict:" "me, in the first part of the film, giving lessons to a young worker." "But, in reality, what do I do?" "I repeat to a comrade... what our common enemy has told me at university." "Thus we live the victory of the burgeois ideology... he in his place and me in mine, he a worker and me an intelectual." "The move is done and in my practice..." "I assure every single day the uninterrupted reproduction... of the capitalist relations of production." "Today in Italy." "Function of the burgeois ideology." "Assure... the everyday... uninterrupted... reproduction... of the relations of production... in the conscience." "That is... to organise... the material behaviour... of all the agents of all the functions... of the capitalist social production." "Producers let us save ourselves... and everyone shall be saved." "Third part of the film." "Now that we have understood... what has truly happened in the first part of the film... we move on to the second part... an example of victory over the bourgeois ideology." "Let's reason over this example of the second part... like we have reasoned over the example in the first part." "To recover what has been taken from us... to free freedom." "Here, instead of a black image... put a relation of production that didn't exist in the second part." "But, despite this black image, my discourse has began changing." "For example, in what concerns sexuality." "The long struggle of a burgeois couple... to become a revolutionary couple." "...even if continously tends to remain a burgeois couple." "One long struggle between two political lines... between two political lines." "Effectively, what I am saying now... is quite different to what I said and did in the first part." "What did I say there?" "There I said:" ""I'm tired, kiss me, we'll talk tomorrow"." "Sentences almost equal the ones the young worker said." "Now I talk of two political lines, of two political lines." "Then in the second part I changed a bit." "Third part of the film." "Third part of the film." "Evaluate the change and, while doing it, continue changing." "Give a step forward." "Yes, the struggle of a burgeois couple... to become a revolutionary political couple." "Again a relation of production." "Always the same chain of images." "Me between two relations of production." "Give a step forward." "Reflect about it" "My discourse changes." "My image always between two relations of production.n... shows that change is relative." "Explain this relativeness." "Start again from the relations of production." "Capitalist relations of production." "Relations that determine society... in that it is a capitalist society." "Burgeois ideology." "What organises the behaviour of people... my behaviour... in this capitalist society." "Ideology... works by regions." "University." "Family." "These regions, more or less autonomous, are articulated between them." "There is one, thus, that is forcibly the most important... one that determines the life and History of the other regions." "All regions of burgeois ideology... assure the permanence of the capitalist relations of production... but under the direction... the direction... of this juridical-political determining region." "Determining region." "UNDER THE SIGN OF FEAR Juridical-political ideology of the State." "NEW YEAR, OLD BOSSES Change in the determining region." "Political action." "Revolutionary political action.." "Political action..." "Just Revolutionary... just, just." "Destruction of the apparatus... and the juridical-political ideology of the State." "In resume, what can we say of all this?" "In the first part of the film there was a contradiction... between the burgeois ideology and my militant practice." "Burgeois ideology was equal to plus... and my militant practice was equal to minus." "Thus, plus beat minus." "In the second part of the film there is still a contradiction... between the burgeois ideology and my militant practice." "But what was minus, my militant practice... has become plus." "My militant practice... attacks the determining region of ideology." "Developing itself, it questions it." "And with this attack it shakes all the foundations... of the ideological construct that is me... with unequal repercussions, depending on the regions." "Don't you know it or don't you want to explain it to me?" "Give me an explanation." "Here there was still a bourgeois discourse when I was saying... that I was unable to anwser." "I want to give you an answer... but, thinking about it, I can't do it." "But there, there is a more just discourse..." "A discourse that fights... that transforms itself." "I'm talking of joining in a greater struggle." "I'm talking of militating in a more just way." "I'm saying that the more I can militate in a just way... the more I can advance in solving this problem." "I'm saying that I love you..." "In conclusion, on what does a change in my ideas depend on?" "In conclusion, on what does a change in my ideas depend on?" "It depends on a change in the determining region... of the bourgeoise ideology, thus... of my revolutionary militant practice." "Change my life, transform me, that means:" "deepen the contradicitons between my militant practice... and this determining region of the bourgeoise ideology." "Introduce the class struggle in my life... the class struggle." "Introduce the class struggle in my life." "Programme." "Think about subjectivity in terms of class." "Programme." "Militate."

"Producers let us save ourselves... and the salvation shall be for all." "To recover what they have taken... to free freedom... let us forge our own weapons... let us fight always, let us dare." "Today I talk at RAI." "How to speak in the Italian tevelision?" "Speak against who?" "Speak for who?" "And firstly, who has been on the screen before me?" "Who will come afterwards?" "That is, to whom does the Italian television belong?" "The Italian television belongs to the State." "This State today is Avola, Battipaglia, Pisa... the Christian Democracy." "Tomorrow, maybe the Social democrats'... and the day after that..." "Yesterday and today, the State is Agnelli, Costa, Pirelli." "Then, every day, a State delegate... comes to speak to the Italian people." "Speak against the workers, the peasants and their allies... who organise in the struggle... to respond to the everyday violence that is imposed on them." "Destroy and change;" "that is to make the revolution... that is, to think of another way of making the revolution." "For me, give a small step forward... is, for example, today, in the Italian television... speak for four or five minutes in a different way." "They told me I had the right... between a play and a documentary, to tell my story... and that I had that right because we live in a democracy." "...because we are democrats, humanists, liberals... because we are objective." "My story like what is told here every day... the story of a boss, the story of Fiat... the story of a worker." "Well, I've told my story." "Or, more accurately, they have told it for me." "And it was the first part of the film." "The bourgeois account of a bourgeoise woman... who was transformed by the events." "A bourgeoise woman facing her militancy..." "A bourgeoise woman in contradiction with herself..." "A bourgeoise woman who does not know where ideas - true or false - come from... who does not know how to solve the contradictions... who does not know what to do." "And there I had to stop." "That is, to start the second part of the film." "I saw that I had to stop telling myself. and start analysing... that I had to know why I told myself like that." "And then the reality of my ideas appeared in my discourse." "The reality that is produced by my ideas... thus, in my case, the Italian reality." "But, what do I do with that?" "Something that transforms me or nothing?" "I said..." ""The social existence of men determines their way of thinking"." "It is necessary that this just idea becomes a material force... and I know that another step ahead is needed." "I have shown the way in the third part of the film." "But it is a tough way." "And what I have said maybe is an indication of work... of struggle, of work... of struggle, of work... of struggle, of work... of struggle, of work... of struggle."
