Life's politic, production of the common and life at stake...

Abstract

Power mechanisms stormed life in its various dimensions, from genes to dream production. Theoreticals deriving from workerism autonomy, impregnated by their Espinosa, Foucault, Deleuze readings, gave another meaning to this context of expropriation, by making one see its opposite, the ontological positivity inserted into its grounds. So, they came to formulate the idea that biopower opposes Multitude biopotency. By articulating the notions of biopolitics, common production, immaterial labor and singularity, they offered a new intelligibility to contemporary processes, as well as forms of resistance emerging in them, where reversibility and reversals, in several scales, announce uncertain recompositions.
