Abstract
This article aims to understand the collectives as new social movements from the “crowd” view in the perspective of a constitutive and radical democratic project. Therefore, the objective is to understand the “crowd” as a new political subject, and in this way to identify collectives as new social movements, to then answer the question about the collectives being understood as multitudinous political-social subjects, with the space-time of action a radical and constituent democracy. To answer this question, the historical materialism used by Antonio Negri is used as metodological, theoretical-analytical framework, in which the method considers the antagonism between a creative subjectivity and a subjectivity constructed by the capital. It is in this way that the new categories of analysis are established that allow to handle with new social subjects (the crowd/ the common) and to understand the collectives from these categories in opposition to the “imperial” subjectivities.
