Rebordering the world. Capital, power, and race in a conjuncture of war

The talk will address the current conjuncture of war from the angle of new processes of bordering. On the basis of a recent book that I co-authored with Brett Neilson, The Rest and the West. Capital and Power in a Multipolar World (Verso, 2024), I will discuss the turmoil and fractures of the capitalist world system focusing attention on emerging assemblages of capital, power, and race. Taking borders both, as a topic of investigation and as an epistemic viewpoint, I will analyze the spread of authoritarian trends across world regions paying particular attention to mobility and migration. The talk will end discussing the conditions for an effective struggle against war, war regimes, and related authoritarianism.
