	Review - Empire, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri (Cambridge: Harvard UP, 2000. 478 pages). Reviewed by John Trimbur, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		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 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.
		Hardt and Negri guard against an impact model of globalization by combining Deleuze's sense that desire is active and power reactive with the Italian far-left tradition of operaismo and autonomia.

		Hardt, with his co-author Antonio Negri, a political dissident in the tumultuous 1970s in Italy, has become the unwitting sage (and critic) of the movement thrown up by demonstrations in Seattle, Prague and Gothenberg and written a book about that the theme dominating us and the headlines we read: globalisation.
		Michael Hardt is a genial, quietly spoken man, self-effacing and, famously, always dressed in denim.
		Hardt's 'new idea' is to take the conclusions of contemporary physics and the 'post-structuralism' or 'deconstruction' of French philosophers such as Jacques Derrida or Michel Foucault into the realm of concrete politics.

	Ronaldo Munck: Review of Hardt and Negri's Empire
		Hardt and Negri "insist on asserting that the construction of Empire is a step forward in order to do away with any nostalgia for the power structures that preceded it and refuse any political strategy that involves returning to that old arrangement, such as trying to resurrect the nation-state to protect against global capital" (p.

	The Stranger - Books - Feature - Empire of the Multitude
		Mutlitude is Hardt and Negri's sequel to their bestseller--or really, box-office hit--Empire, which was to the WTO protest and the series of confrontations that it sparked (D.C., Quebec, Genoa, etc...) what Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9-11 is to WTC and the wars that it has spawned (Afghanistan, Iraq, the Philippines, and so on...).
		More soberly, Hardt and Negri argued that globalization meant not the absolute fulfillment of all desire but a transformation in the structures of power--from the age of national sovereignty to the age of global sovereignty.
		Hardt and Negri take up Deleuze's concept to claim that the different movements issued from 1968 are singularities, not identities: What distinguishes them is not how they preserve their own agendas in opposition to those of the others but the richness and uniqueness of experience that they bring to the table--the common.

		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.

	Reason: Empire Burlesque: The profoundly silly book that has set the academic left aflutter.
		Hardt brings to the relationship knowledge of what American intellectuals want to hear as well as a command of the violated English that passes for elegance in the academy.
		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.

		Hardt and Negri open their case by arguing that, although nation-state-based systems of power are rapidly unravelling in the force-fields of world capitalism, globalization cannot be understood as a simple process of de-regulating markets.
		Hardt and Negri suggest such Leninist concerns are irrelevant to rebellions against Empire, which successfully capitalize on the symbolic logic of postmodern 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.
		Hardt and Negri further view the struggle as cutting across culture, class, race, and nationality, and that it must be seen as as multi-disciplinary liberation.

	The Voice of the Turtle
		At the beginning of last September, Hardt and Negri’s Empire was still being swept off the shelves, hailed everywhere as "the most successful work of political theory to come from the Left for a generation." [1].
		A touching story in the Washington Post found Michael Hardt, immediately after the planes slammed into the World Trade Center, wandering around upper Manhattan in a daze, his hair mussed, his shirt a rumple, at a complete loss, "with a sadness that blocks thinking," as if personifying the vulnerability to catastrophe of his theories.[2].
		For Hardt and Negri, the nation-states, repressive at home and vicious abroad, "were key agents of capitalist exploitation," and "the multitude was continually drafted to fight their senseless wars." (p.

	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").
		Hardt and Negri conform here a sort of triad whose other two terms are Ernesto Laclau and Giorgio Agamben.

		Michael Hardt is professor of literature at Duke University, North Carolina, and co-author with Antonio Negri of Empire.
		I recall Hardt saying that he and Negri disagreed over the role of the US in their 'Empire' schema (it was at the Brecht Forum).
		To say that Hardt has been living in a cave in Tora Bora for the last 100 years is just a petty cruelty, nonetheless, I would not think it unfair to say that he has been overly influenced by a European perspective that is somewhat blind to the political realities of the US.

		Hardt states that he and Negri recognize the need to develop a more comprehensive theory of the multitude and its possibility of realizing a political form, which he believes is the book's greatest shortcoming.
		Hardt also responds to some who objected to the "eclecticism" found in "Empire", contending that "dogmatism" stifles understanding and that communist thought does not necessarilly begin and end with Marx.
		Hardt defends the idea that the nation-state must be overcome to achieve "absolute democracy"; elsewhere, he explains why he and Negri reformulated Foucault's top-down conception of "biopower" into a bottom-up theory of emancipation.

	Empire
		To Hardt and Negri, the most visible rebellions of our time - Tiananmen Square, the Intifada, the Zapatistas, strikes in France and South Korea - have been largely local affairs; they weren't seen as part of a common global struggle either by political analysts or prospective revolutionaries.
		Surprisingly, Hardt and Negri have nothing to say about the newest protest movements, those invoked by the single word "Seattle," but which are much larger than that.
		Hardt and Negri are often uncritical and credulous in the face of orthodox propaganda about globalization and immateriality.

		Hardt and Negri even leave the impression that, if they had to choose between the postmodernists in Western universities and the fundamentalists in Iran, they would prefer the latter: 'The losers in the process of globalization might indeed be the ones who give us the strongest indication of the transformation in process.'"
