Financialization and War: Race, Class, Gender, Sexuality, and Subjectivity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this talk, Maurizio Lazzarato will present an overview of the main themes of his upcoming book Wars and Capitalism, co-written with Eric Alliez. Building on both Carl Schmitt's argument that the economy is the continuation of war through other means and his previous work on debt economy, Lazzarato will interrogate the pivotal role of financial capitalism in indexing race, class, gender, sexuality and subjectivity to the logics of both military and non-military warfare.\n\nMaurizio Lazzarato is a sociologist and philosopher living and working in Paris, where he studies immaterial labor, the breakdown of the wage system, and “post-socialist” movements. He is the author, most recently, of The Making of the Indebted Man, Signs and Machines, and Governing by Debt.\n\nWITH RESPONSE BY:\n\nDavid McNally teaches political science at York University in Toronto and actively supports numerous social justice movements in that city. He is the author of six books, including Monsters of the Market: Zombies Vampires, and Global Capitalism (winner of the 2012 Deutscher Memorial Award) and Global Slump: The Economics and Politics of Crisis and Resistance (winner of the 2012 Paul Sweezy Award from the American Sociological Association).

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
