ABSTRACT
This paper reads Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children (1981) alongside Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri’s Multitude: War and Democracy in the Age of Empire (2004) in an attempt to enter the discussion presented by the latter authors that the multitude requires the existence of a new Rabelais who can capture its revolutionary monstrosity in action towards a new sense of democracy.
