Abstract
[First paragraph]
Mobilization strategies, be them of a geomorphic quality or with respect to labour, are imbued by an endocolonizing rhetoric supplied by a neoliberal discourse which relies on “state of nature” claims as the foundation upon which it can reconfigure the terms of economy, generally by what Deleuze and Guattari call “axiomatization.” These, in turn, shape a new model of labour relations that may be tied to a new relationship to the earth itself as mobile commodity. By appealing to the works of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, this article will attempt to provide a different insight by which to explore the issue of mobile capital in both the domain of earth-moving technologies and mobile labour. This article will explore the transition from traditional capitalist strategies of accumulation to those indexed on acceleration under the broader framework of what we might call modular capitalism.
