In this lecture I aim to offer a critical framework for understanding ‘the current global crisis’ not merely as isolated authoritarian or fascist phenomena but as one that is deeply entangled with colonial legacies, gendered violence (and the violence of gender!), and militarised state power. In doing so, I will interrogate how militarisation intersects with and underpins authoritarian and fascist tendencies.
In the firsts step, and by critically engaging what is usually termed as the pervasive global militarisation, I will discuss the concept of militarisation, ontological militarism and the implications of its usage. In the second step, through the concepts of racial regime[s] (Lentin 2025), martial politics (Howell 2018) and the related scholarly discussions, I will explore how the current global manifestations of militarisation - including the live-streamed genocides in Gaza, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo – are not as much of ‘aberrations’ and/or “new”, but continuations of Colonial/Modern [Cis/Het] Gendered regime and its worldmaking.
