I just read all three of the above at 
<http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/CI/journal/contents/v29n2.html>. 
Though I enjoyed Timothy Brennan's writing, I think that Hardt and 
Negri (and their admirers) are uninterested in collective endeavor of 
critical engagement.  Brennan asks in "The Magician's Wand: A 
Rejoinder to Hardt and Negri" (@ 
<http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/resolve?CI290208PDF>): "The 
question...is whether the authors [Hardt and Negri] would view 
serious disagreement with their work as anything other than 
'distortion.'"  It is clear that they don't.
