...the multiplicity that refuses to represent itself in the dialectical Aufhebung
Surely Negri means "bong"? "Rhyzomatic" is clearly an allusion to Guattari and Deleuze. I would translate the passage as a whole to mean, roughly, "shit happens".Negri has presumably eschewed that more compact formulation for the sake of avoiding its imminent reflexive implications. I hope this helps. As for Doug's worrying about wasting time on Negri and the Nation while the "U.S. is under the control of a frightening gang of lunatics hellbent on war with a good bit of the world": shit happens, Doug. And time marches on. Tom Walker 604 255 4812
