How might we understand a constituent power that is thought not as constitutively juridical but nevertheless as a political power, one that issues from the heterogeneous multitude and develops its collective potentia not by its number but rather in its polyvocality? Such an alternative conception would need to leave gendered connotations, the idea of a masculinist bourgeois subject, and questions of belonging behind. It would need to issue radically from the mutual connectedness of singularities and, against the backdrop of queer-feminist and postcolonial considerations, place the necessity of care and reproduction at its center. Initial prompts for thinking a constituent power that is not constitutively juridical can be found in the work of Antonio Negri. The article further develops Negri’s approach and connects it with the municipalist movements in Spain as examples of new forms of constituent and constituted power
