Among other issues addressed by Hardt and Negri in Empire, there is the question of the
establishment of a revolutionary subjectivity respectful of the specific nature of local struggles:
what they call a « community of singularities ». Our aim is to show that a revolutionary
subjectivity of this kind can only operate by way of a conversion involving two dimensions. In its
prophecy of the future, the book proclaims the imperative of a shift to the verticality of struggles,
so that power can be directly confronted. In its genealogy of past struggles, the book invokes St.
Augustine’s model of the city of God. What these two dimensions together show is the need for a
spiritual power which will throw light on both the intellectual production constitutive of the
multitude and on the mode of writing proper to the book entitled Empire, whose aim is to produce
this revolutionary subject, doing so by way of an affective strategy. |
