Summary:We seek to expose three different visions concerning to the capitalist system. The first, which can be found in the works of Deleuze, Guattari, Negri and Hardt, sustains the radicalization of difference against the modulatory mechanisms of the global market. The second, present in the theories of Frederic Jameson and David Harvey, criticizes post modern's interdiction of universal categories, presenting the contemporary cult of difference and flexibility as the ideological reflection of the new flexible capitalism emerged in the seventies. Finally, in the thought of Slavoj Zizek, the criticism of the multiple subjectivity ideology is articulated with capitalism denegation of the negative, or traumatic, aspect of the subject. We search to sustain why the analyses of Deleuze, Guattari, Negri and Hardt appears to us to be more significant, since these authors search to apprehend, in a positive way, the movements of resistance and constitution that are present on today's conjuncture.
