Abstract
A genealogical link between Vittorio de Sica's Miracle in Milan (1951) and Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's Empire (2000) may be found in the work of Gilles Deleuze. De Sica and Hardt and Negri locate a politics of resistance in the sphere of immanence, on an ontological basis. Miracle in Milan and Empire thus exemplify Deleuze's attitude when, praising Foucault, he declares that "Life becomes resistance to power when power takes life as its object." This attitude leads De Sica and Hardt and Negri to a shared faith in the political vitality of the poor.
