<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"First published in Italian as Movimenti nell'impero Milano @ Raffaello Cortina Editore, 2006"--T.p. verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Today, Empire no longer has an outside: it no longer tolerates realities external to itself. Hence every war cannot but be a civil war, an internal battle, a domestic strife. But if the enemy is always within, militarization is part and parcel of normalization and every war necessarily appears as a policing operation. And yet has the sun really set on the old materialist dream of transforming social conflict into the beginnings of liberation? In the cracks of Empire one can discern an emergent capacity to remould the world. The anti-Empire is represented by the multitude, the collection of impassioned and desiring individuals whose potential for action offers the best hope for a better world. <p>In this book Antonio Negri explains the key concepts and methods which he and Michael Hardt have used to analyse Empire and the new forms of power and counter-power that are shaping and reshaping our world today. Through five introductory lectures and several supporting texts Negri constructs a democratic discourse on globalization, renews the premises of a materialist analysis of social and political life and offers some glimpses of the future.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Empire and Beyond</i> and <i>Reflections on Empire</i> offer accessible points of entry to Negri's project with Hardt, which build, in their cumulative effect, to a sophisticated reflection upon its key ideas and their evolution - one that rewards close reading, even among those already familiar with his work.<br /> <i><b>Marx and Philosophy</b></i><br /><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Antonio Negri was formerly Professor of State Theory at the the University of Padua.
