Discusses the writings of Antonio Negri regarding the 'tradition' or 'school of Italian autonomist or post-workerist Marxism, and focuses on 'Arte e Multitudo'. The author comments on Negri's involvement with art, describes the political context of his work, and discusses Negri's periodisation of the modern correlation of art/labour/politics. He explains the notion of singularity, considers the ethics dimension in Negri's work, and comments that he considers the dominant theme of 'Arte e Multitudo' to be the resurrection of an emancipatory politics in the midst of postmodern abstraction.
