Esposito shows that the immunitary paradigm, by exempting individuals from obligations with the common, functions as necessary counterpart of the community. This paradigm is based, in modern times, on principles dear to liberalism, such as property and freedom. In our epoch, however, neoliberalism, the way it is characterized by Foucault, brings with it a series of changes in terms of subjectivity and sociability which, by radicalizing liberal principles, have an autoimmune effect, amounting to an undermining of the community. These changes, of a biopolitical nature, are illustrated by an analysis of Internet social networks, which highlights in this communicational phenomenon the valorization of individualism and the fluid patterns of sociability. / Esposito mostra que o paradigma imunitário, ao isentar os indivíduos de obrigações com o comum, funciona como contrapartida necessária da comunidade. Esse paradigma apoia-se, na modernidade, em princípios caros ao liberalismo, como a propriedade e a liberdade. Em nossa época, contudo, o neoliberalismo, tal como caracterizado por Foucault, traz consigo uma série de mudanças em termos de subjetividade e de sociabilidade que, ao radicalizarem os princípios liberais, têm um efeito autoimunitário, equivalendo ao esvaziamento da comunidade. Essas mudanças, de natureza biopolítica, são ilustradas por uma análise das redes sociais na Internet, que destaca nesse fenômeno comunicacional a valorização do individualismo e os padrões fluidos de sociabilidade.
