trade and in impoverished websites populated via exploited groups and assets.
Political upheavals, social marginalizations, and monetary insecurities brought by way of
these disasters in either the worldwide South and the worldwide North represent a tenuous
common floor among assorted collectivities of fight.
This dissertation takes this capability universal floor among disparate
communities marginalized by means of neoliberalism as a terrain on which to discover attainable
solidarities among those ‘singularities of struggle.’ It asks how neighborhood struggles waged by way of
communities within the international North and international South contest and avoid the stipulations of
neoliberalism, and what sorts of political identification, collective identifications, and
micropolitical strength are invented in those struggles.
To solution those questions, Deleuze and Guattari’s “State-form” and “war-machine” are mobilized as severe instruments for conceptualizing how neoliberalism
universalist assumptions are manifested in singular occasions. specific consciousness is
given to the universally-singular expressions of fabric poverty, differential inclusion,
and subordination wrought by way of neoliberal globalization, and the demanding situations those
conditions create for theorizing universal topoi of oppositional discourse, together with
identity, collectivity, and gear.
