Initiated under the effervescent atmosphere of June 2013 journeys, this work departs from a political assumption that is confirmed in each new clash struck up in Brazilian cities: in times of global financial capitalism, the common is centrally positioned in urban struggles. Although on the one hand the common is threatened by the dissemination of public-private partnerships in the context of neoliberal urbanism, on the other hand it opens a possibility for the production of positive resistances and new subjectivities within the biopolitical metropolis. The common is taken both as a privileged trench position to confront state-capital (that is the defense of the commons under the context of capitalist city, which is subjugated to neoliberal urbanism) as an expression of the new organizational forms of the multitudinous movements today, which are increasingly connected in collaborative networks and also marked by the desire to real democracy, horizontality, autonomy, production of affections, of new subjectivities and non-capitalist ways of life. The theoretical debate that underlies the assumptions around the common passes through the Fordism crisis, the neoliberalism's rise (as the public-private forces advances upon the commons), the changes in work relations and the so-called cognitive and immaterial capitalism. And it passes also through the emergence of multitude as the contemporary subject that finds in biopolitical metropolis the privileged locus for biopotent action (landscape still subjugated to the hegemonic paradigm of capitalist city and its strategic planning). In this context, it is reasonable to assume that the construction of common spaces is very important as they might harbor some of the living forces to confront state-capital. Along its way, the text is crossed by some asides written under an immanent and processual mode, which was made through the investigation of positive resistance experiences under the cartographic "conricerca", method whose research tools have been shown appropriate to activist researchers who aim to transform the cities rather than only analyze them.
