ABSTRACT
War and Democracy in the Age of Empire, conceptualised a notion of multitude as a model of resistance against global capitalism. Drawing on philosophers such as Machiavelli, Hobbes, Spinoza and others, as well as earlier works of Negri, they reiterated the multitude by referring to it as an unmediated, immanent and collective social subject, and a basis for non-illusive democratic structure. Images portray an interaction at different levels of subjectivity. In the case of masculinities, the borders of the heteronormative matrix are here conceptualised as always in the making, multiple and never fixed. Many artists more directly address the spaces of transit and various forms of crossing the borders in their works, through their domicile or positionality.
