  Antonio Negri   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Antonio Negri had returned voluntarily to his home country after 15 years of exile.
A critical analysis of the new global economy, it was hailed as a bold new manifesto for the 21st century and overnight it turned Negri into a leading spokesperson for the international anti-globalization movement.
ANTONIO NEGRI explores this visionary theoretician's lifelong political struggle, now being expressed in works of contemporary relevance such as Empire and its sequel, Multitude: War and Democracy in the Age of Empire, a powerful intellectual project in protest of the new global order.

  Antonio Negri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antonio Negri (August 1, 1933-) is a moral and political philosopher, and a former political inmate from Italy.

 Negri, Antonio | libcom.org
Negri considers that the struggles on 1977 have confirmed his position: it represents a broadening and massification of the phenomenon he calls 'self-valorisation', and which represents the positive aspect of the refusal of work.
The underlying theme is the need to redefine the class antagonism in advanced capitalism, at a level corresponding to the real, total subsumption of society, of social labour as a whole, to capitalist domination.
This means, as Negri argues here - but also in earlier articles included in this volume - that the conception of the 'working class' has to be broadened and extended to contradiction and antagonism in the sphere of social reproduction as a whole - ie beyond direct production as such.

 Antonio Negri: The Nostalgic Revolutionary - Empire? - Global Policy Forum
Negri was the guru of the new movement for "permanent civil war" and "mass illegality".
Negri begins to laud, as he often does, "the communist and liberatory combatants of 20th-century revolutions", as if there was no contradiction between communism and liberation.
Negri recently described the Soviet Union as "a society criss-crossed with extremely strong instances of creativity and freedom", which is more than he has ever said for any democracy.

Negri was involved in the Italian far left Operaismo and Autonomia movements and is deeply inspired by the philosophies of Marx, Deleuze/Guattari and Spinoza.
Negri's voice is soon to be a major one among the likes of Gramsci as an demanding challenge and standard for radical thought in the West for the future--straight from the no doubt optimistic bars of an Italian prison.
In Subversive Spinoza, Antonio Negri spells out the philosophical credo that inspired his radical renewal of Marxism and his compelling analysis of the modern state and the global economy by means of an inspiring reading of the challenging metaphysics of the seventeenth-century Dutch-Jewish philosopher Spinoza.

 Amazon.de: Empire: Bücher: Michael Hardt,Antonio Negri   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
According to Negri and Hardt, this new Empire is the result of the transformation of modern capitalism into a set of power relationships we endlessly replicate that transcend the nation state (so anti-imperialism is out as a progressive politics).
Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri argue that while classical imperialism has largely disappeared, a new empire is emerging in a diffuse blend of technology, economics, and globalization.
Hardt and Negri maintain that empire--traditionally understood as military or capitalist might--has embarked upon a new stage of historical development and is now better understood as a complex web of sociopolitical forces.

 New Statesman - The left should love globalisation
Negri was formally acquitted of this particular charge, but faced others of "armed insurrection against the state" and "moral responsibility" for the clashes between revolutionary activists and police in Milan in the 1970s.
Negri quotes William Morris: "Men fight and lose the battle, and the thing they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and then it turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they want under another name."
Negri argues that the challenge for welfare is to mirror life rather than to shape it.

 Print: The Chronicle: 11/5/2004: After the Empire
Negri had spent much of the previous two decades in exile, convicted of having fomented civil disorder during the 1970s as the main theorist and éminence grise of a revolutionary group.
Negri writes, in Italian, that he is "clearly surprised by the success of Empire and Multitude" but considers it "important merely as a means of enlarging the discussion around the struggle." While his work with Mr.
Negri understand things, conflicts over intellectual property, cultural identity, and the availability of social services are struggles over the control of immaterial labor.

 Reviewing the experience of Italy in the 1970s, by Antonio Negri
Toni Negri was one of the historic leadership of the Italian revolutionary group Potere Operaio (Workers’ Power) and is currently serving a prison sentence in Rebibbia prison, Rome.
Negri gave himself up on 1 July 1997 after 14 years’ exile in Paris in a bid to close a chapter in his own personal "judicial history" and that of other far-left militants still in exile.
While in France, Toni Negri lectured at the Ecole normale supérieure in rue d’Ulm, and taught at the University of Paris-VIII and the International College of Philosophy.

 Reason: Empire Burlesque: The profoundly silly book that has set the academic left aflutter.
Negri allegedly was the brains behind the terrorist Red Brigades that abducted and killed Moro and was even identified as the source of a taunting phone call to Moro’s wife.
Hardt and Negri identify themselves with "those who are against," magisterially underscoring the comprehensiveness of their indictment by refusing, in this instance, even to identify just what they are against: If you have to ask, they seem to say, you must not really be as against as we are.
Hardt and Negri’s description of what must now be rebelled against relies on paranoia and sheer shrillness of tone, but to account for the tumultuous events that have accompanied globalization they resort to the oddest kind of distortion.

 Review - Empire, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri (Cambridge: Harvard UP, 2000. 478 pages). Reviewed by John Trimbur, ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Empire, as Hardt and Negri describe it, is an imaginative geography of the globalization of world space, where boundless flows of capital, labor, and information transcend the older imperialist order and yet at the same time plant the seeds of the destruction and transformation of Empire.
For Hardt and Negri, the alternative that shapes the lived history of revolutionary militants is no longer that of socialism or barbarism, as it was for the Old Left.
For Hardt and Negri, the problem of sovereignty is central to the formation of modernity, and the plot line of Empire traces the shift from the modern territorial sovereignty of the nation-state to the deterritorialized imperial sovereignty of Empire.

Negri speaks openly here of his involvement with political movements, his exile, his return to Italy and years there in prison, and his life since.
But beyond the biographical there is much here to explain Negri's ideas on globalization, the future of social change, and the history of political thought.
Negri on Negri provides a fascinating glimpse into his mind and life.

 Antonio Negri -- Empire
The present reality (according to Negri) is that capitalism has successfully realized its (destructive) potential, so that we are now living in the world of its creation.
In Negri’s terms, capital has “subjugated all forms of life” with its commodification of everything from the work place, to material production, to human relations.
Negri is cautioning against passively adopting the dominant ideology as determined by Capital.

 The Relevance of Antonio Negri to the Anti
In absentia, Negri was convicted of re-instated charges under (still in-effect) emergency laws that allow convictions solely based upon the testimony of accused persons who have "repented" their crimes and turned State's evidence.
Everyone else -- Toni Negri included -- preferred to believe what the State and the media told them about "terrorism": that the bombings and assassinations were perpetrated by extremist groups, and that the Italian State, though it might occasionally infiltrate and provoke such groups, wasn't directly involved in or responsible for their targets and operations.
If, on the other hand, Negri and Piperno are not the heads of the RBs, and are not even among the ranks of its militants, then these facts should give all the more reason for the hypothetical subversives of the RBs to help get these men publicly cleared of all charges against them.

 Amazon.com: Multitude: War and Democracy in the Age of Empire: Books: Michael Hardt,Antonio Negri   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
The "multitude" is Hardt and Negri's term for the earth's six billion increasingly networked citizens, an enormous potential force for "the destruction of sovereignty in favor of democracy." The middle section on the nature of that multitude is bookended by two others.
Hardt and Negri argue that war "is becoming the primary organizing principal of society, and politics merely one of its means or guises" (p.
Hardt and Negri note that democracy is not unreasonable or an unattainable demand as the concept of the multitude (a class concept that refers to singularities that act in common) brings great hope to the future of democracy.

 Slavoj Zizek-Bibliography/Object a as Inherent Limit to Capitalism/Lacan Dot Com
Negri and Hardt continuously oscillate between their fascination by the global capitalism's "deterritorializing" power, and the rhetoric of the struggle of the multitude against the One of the capitalist power.
Negri and Hardt are right in rendering problematic the standard Leftist revolutionary notion of "taking power": such a strategy accepts the formal frame of the power structure and aims merely at replacing one bearer of power ("them") with another ("us").
This is also why Negri and Hardt's reference to Bakhtin's notion of carnival as the model for the protest movement of the multitude-they are carnevalesque not only in their form and atmosphere (theatrical performances, chants, humorous songs), but also in their non-centralized organization-is deeply problematic: is late capitalist social reality itself not already carnevalesque?

 Amazon.com: Empire: Books: Michael Hardt,Antonio Negri   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Negri has made himself look pretty foolish coming out with a book in 2000 claiming that traditional imperialism is dead (the subsequent policies of George II's administration have forced Hardt and Negri to more or less admit they got it wrong in recent interviews).
The claim--surrounded by so many qualifications and caveats that Hardt and Negri clearly don't really buy the argument themselves and are hedging their bets--is that the nation-state, and hence imperialism in its old sense are rapidly declining, being replaced by an imperial sovereignty that is conceptually foggy and simply doesn't reflect empirical historical tendencies.
Negri used to argue back in the 80s that the form of sovereignty most appropriate to the era of real subsumption was the nuclear state, not some international social democracy.

This, exactly, is what Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri are trying to do in their Empire (2000), a book that sets as its goal, writing the Communist Manifesto for the twenty-first century.
Hardt and Negri describe globalization as an ambiguous "deterritorialization": victorious global capitalism pushes into every pore of our social lives, into the most intimate of spheres, and installs an ever present dynamic, which no longer is based on patriarchal or other hierarchic structures of dominance.
Hardt and Negri describe this process as the transition from the nation-state to global Empire, a transnational entity comparable to ancient Rome, in which hybrid masses of scattered identities developed.
