Abstract: The article focuses on the notion of economic formation of society, as it has been conceived in Emilio Sereni’s Marxism. We analyse Sereni’s essay written in 1970, in which we discern the outlines of its definition and its distinction from the category of mode of production. We linger over the conceptualization of superstructural and genetic moment and over the controversy with Luporini’s Marxism of the forms. Then we try to understand the function that the notion of economic formation of society plays in Sereni’s historiographic and political work. Finally, we show how the notion of economic formation of society, as it has been developed by Sereni, can be brought back to the theoretic and political project of the Italian Marxist historicism
