Abstract

Founded on the mode of « coordination », the struggle of the « intermittents et précaires » of the Greater Paris area is a genuine laboratory which has the means to bring to light the invalidation of the political schema stemming front the socialist and communist tradition. Where the latter insists on a logic of contradiction, of the political representation of an injustice which stages remarkable identities, the political form of « coordination » is resolutely expressive, transformist, and attentive to the unstable dynamics of post-identity identities which weave together the reality of our world. Coordination does not aim at the constitution of a unitary collective which seeks to guarantee the equality of its members at any cost, but rather, at the emergence and « becoming » of singularities which it brings together in an unstable rmtltiplicity, a network, a form always close to the patchwork - exceeding any theoretical definition, but also any appropriation by union forces or State representations. A politics of experimentation which dismisses prior forms of knowledge and opens itself up to the unknown, without which no new form of life is imaginable
