The aim of this project is to investigate the development of the concept of antagonism in Antonio Negri's texts. So far, the concept has been unfolded in constant relation to the development of class composition, but the concept was always understood as linked to a development of the dialectic between capital and labor or the logic of the separation of class autonomy from the totality. In this way, we try to grasp the vicissitudes of antagonism through the development of the concept of singularity and its common organization through the immanentist position. Furthermore, we seek to delineate the specificities inherent in the quasi-identity between ontology and politics in Negri's writings, given that antagonism remains an essential characteristic of both subjectivation and the organization of collectivity. In fact, we intend to reach the complexity raised by an antagonism made up of multiple irreducible singularities without simply reducing it to an antagonistic duality.
