On the basis of a recent book that I co-authored with Brett Neilson, <em>The Rest and the West. Capital and Power in a Multipolar World<\/em>\u00a0(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.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>BIO:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sandro Mezzadra<\/strong> teaches political theory at the University of Bologna. His recent work has centered on the relations between global processes, migration and capitalism, on contemporary capitalism, as well as on postcolonial criticism. He participates in the \u2018workerist\u2019 debates being one of the founders of the website www.euronomade.info. With Brett Neilson he is the author of <em>Border as Method, or, the Multiplication of Labor<\/em> (2013), <em>The Politics of Operations.
