La crítica se ha convertido en la principal forma de practicar la teoría, al menos aquella teoría concebida como intervención política. Sin embargo, percibo hoy en día una creciente insatisfacción con respecto a las posibilidades políticas de la crítica. Ciertamente, el término crítica abarca un amplio abanico de prácticas, como los medios relativa...

The past and the future as a way to comprehend movements of today.

Critique has become the primary mode of practicing theory today, at least theory conceived as a political intervention. Michel Foucault, in his final two years of lecture courses at the Collège de France, develops a critique of critique and proposes in its stead a militant form of theoretical practice.

In this interview with Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, Brown and Szeman press the authors of Empire on a number of questions which have arisen both out of their own use of Empire 's theoretical and political framework and, given Empire 's immense popularity both within the academy and outside it, out of more widespread controversies surrounding th...

One of the most important aspects of your work has been to argue why the original sentiment which provoked Deleuze and Guattari’s Nomadology narrative needed to be challenged. With the onset of a global war machine which showed absolutely no respect for state boundaries, matched by the rise of many local fires of resistance which had no interest in...

The four books under review are riddled with contradictions that stem from their authors' inability to come to grips with the concept of empire. As a result,...

Den dominerende moderne opfattelse af demokrati er intimt forbundet med nationalstaten. Med et nyt fokus på udøvelsen af nationalstatens suverænitet hævder forfatterne, at Empire refererer til en ny form for suverænitet, der ikke anerkender nogen grænser, eller rettere: som kun anerkender mobile grænser. Begrebet om folket som en repræsentativ enhe...
