Convention and Materialism: Uniqueness without Aura
The first English translation of the book that established Paolo Virno as one of the most influential Italian thinkers of his generation. With the 1986 publication of this book in Italy, Paolo Virno established himself as one of the most influential Italian thinkers of his generation.

La multitude contemporaine
La grammaire de la multitude en définit les traits saillants : le premier est la fin de la séparation du public et du privé. En découle un nouveau rapport entre l'individuel et le collectif : on ne converge pas dans l'Un, on agit différemment à partir d'un fond commun. La multitude est ambivalente, servile et révoltée à la fois. Elle aime avoir peur, mais en étant à l'abri, elle demande de la sécurité. Elle est animée par le sentiment de ne pas s…

Deja Vu and the End of History
"This book places two key notions up against each other to imagine a new way of conceptualizing historical time. How do the experience of déjà vu and the idea of the "End of History" relate to one another? Through thinkers like Bergson, Kojève and Nietzsche, Virno explores these constructs of memory and the passage of time. In showing how the experience of time becomes historical, Virno considers two fundamental concepts from Western philosophy: …
L'usage de la vie
Nous faisons usage de machines, de chaussures, de cartes, en vue de notre vie, de sa conservation et de son développement. Mais c'est la vie elle-même qui est avant tout « usable », et pour laquelle machines, chaussures, cartes sont utilisées. L' usage de soi , de son existence, est le présupposé et la poutre maîtresse de tous les autres usages. Or l'usage de soi se fonde sur le détachement de soi. Est utilisée une existence à laquelle on ne peut…
The Anthropological Meaning of Infinite Regression
Infinite regression, which in logic marks the failure or incompleteness of a demonstration, is first and foremost a permanent possibility the existence of the higher primate called Homo sapiens is exposed to. What, precisely, does this possibility amount to? In a few words, it is correct to speak of infinite regression whenever the solution of a problem proposes again at a more abstract level the very problem which it seemed to have just unravell…

Multitude between Innovation and Negation (Semiotext(e) / Foreign Agents
"Multitude between Innovation and Negation offers three essays that take the reader on a journey through the political philosophy of language. Virno unravels the infinite potential and wonders of everyday linguistic praxis and ambiguity. Wit, he argues, is a public performance, and its modus operandi characterizes human action in a state of emergency; it is a reaction, an articulate response, and a possible solution to a state of crisis. Virno ch…
General Intellect
As part of the Historical Materialism research stream on immaterial labour, cognitive capitalism and the general intellect, begun in issue 15.1, this articles explores the importance of the expression 'general intellect', proposed by Marx in the Grundrisse, for an analysis of linguistic and intellectual work in contemporary capitalism. It links the notion of general intellect to the crisis of the law of value, the political significance of mass i…
Post-Fordist Semblance
Post-Fordist Semblance Paolo Virno (bio) Translated by Max Henninger (bio) The subject of these notes is "socially necessary semblance" under post-Fordism. By this little formula (of Marxian origin, by the way), I refer to the ensemble of mentalities, images of the world and of oneself, behaviors and beliefs which, while false (that is, semblances) nonetheless originate in and derive a certain legitimacy from certain quite real and persistent asp…

Les anges et le general intellect
Plus que tout autre penseur, Duns Scot et Simondon se sont longuement arrêtés sur le rapport entre ce qui est surtout commun et ce qui est surtout singulier. Relever certaines assonances entre leurs thèses peut nous aider à mettre au point un modèle théorique pour déchiffrer le mode d’être de la multitude contemporaine. Cet article concerne : 1. La critique adressée par Duns Scot et Simondon à tous ceux pour qui le couple matière-forme peut rendr…
The Multitude and the Principle of Individuation
Les casse-tête du matérialisme
Contrary to the other philosophies, materialism cannot abandon the unity of life and philosophy that is its very essence. Materialism is obliged to explore the non-theoretical genesis of theory, in the form of a sociology of knowledge, or out of a sensualist disposition. If the first is often rejected out of hand as a kind of parody of Marxism, a sensualist approach generally appears more promising. This approach, however, should not deny sensati…
