SUMMARY:Michael Hardt on Empire\, Multitude\, Antonio Negri\, and the subversive seventies\, in conversation with Rachel Kushner
DESCRIPTION:Michael Hardt teaches political theory in the Literature Program at Duke University.  His works combine philosophical investigations with analyses of our current political situation.  Studying the current forms of social domination\, including the mechanisms of capitalist control\, which form the bases of the contemporary global power structures\, is a central focus.  Key\, too\, is engagement with contemporary social movements that refuse domination and present the potential for new\, democratic modes of social organization. His first book was Gilles Deleuze: An Apprenticeship in Philosophy (1993). Over the course of several decades\, his collaborations with Antonio Negri resulted in six books: Labor of Dionysus (1994)\, Empire (2000)\, Multitude (2004)\,   Commonwealth (2009)\, Declaration (2012)\, and Assembly (2017).  His latest book\, The Subversive Seventies (2023)\, analyzes liberation movements of the 1970s in a wide range of countries throughout the world\, highlighting their relevance for political struggles today. \n\n\n\nRachel Kushner is the author of the novels CREATION LAKE\, THE MARS ROOM\, THE FLAMETHROWERS\, and TELEX FROM CUBA\, a book of short stories\, THE STRANGE CASE OF RACHEL K\, and THE HARD CROWD: ESSAYS 2000-2020. She has won the Prix Médicis and been a finalist for the Booker Prize\, the National Book Critics Circle Award\, the Folio Prize\, the James Tait Black Prize\, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize\, and was twice a finalist for the National Book Award in Fiction. She is a Guggenheim Foundation Fellow and the recipient of the Harold D. Vursell Memorial Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Her books have been translated into twenty-seven languages. Her fiction has been published in the New Yorker and the Paris Review\, and her nonfiction in Harpers and the New York Times Magazine.
