ABSTRACT
Since globalization is believed to be the mode of the social phenomena of today, one view of globalization represented by Hardt's and Negri's trilogy, Empire, Multitude and Common-wealth, attracts our attention. According to this view, globalization eclipses the power of the nation-state and weakens the national identifications of subjects, calling for new senses of subjectivity, with economic migrations across the borders of nations and the consequent formation of hybrid cultures in global cities. Hardt’s and Negri’s revolutionary politics and their concept of the multitude aiming at the liberation of a subject from the exploitative structures of capitalistic society are not regarded as the views of allies by some theorists of gender, class and race. Lacanian psychoanalysis reinforces Hardt’s and Negri’s concept of multitude through the further politicization of the global proletariat, or the multitude, by endowing it with depth, that is, with desire that inspires the multitude to have a singular inner force for its resistance against Empire.
