The lost crowd in the empire

Abstract

The “multitude”, which Negri hails as the “concrete universal”, occupies the place that recently belonged, in emphatic discourse, to the “proletariat”: it designates, in the era of multinationals, understood as that of the triumph of immaterial production and "intellect
general”, a world of producers, products and actors of an ongoing revolution. This speech presents itself, in terms of life and immanence, as a re-elaboration of Marx's speech.
