Abstract

Abstract: This article argues that asceticism—understood in the etymological sense of “training”—can productively be incorporated into analyses of politics. It is of particular use in thinking through questions of inequality and domination. I first theorize askesis as dynamogenic , that is, productive of (political and ethical) capacities. Using case studies of Ancient Athens and twentieth century India, I then analyze askesis as a tool for producing and resisting domination, and suggest the political importance of taking control of “the means of training.” I conclude with reflections on the significance of this framework for understanding neoliberal ethics and rising fascist tendencies.

论训练手段的所有权:支配、苦行与抵抗能力

摘要:本文认为，从词源意义上理解为“训练”的禁欲主义可以有效地纳入政治分析。它在思考不平等和统治问题时特别有用。我首先将提问理论化为动力，即(政治和伦理)能力的生产。通过对古雅典和二十世纪印度的案例研究，我分析了ask作为一种产生和抵抗统治的工具，并提出了控制“训练手段”的政治重要性。最后，我反思了这一框架对于理解新自由主义伦理和不断上升的法西斯倾向的重要性。

期刊介绍： The research on discrete event dynamic systems (DEDSs) is multi-disciplinary in nature and its development has been dynamic. Examples of DEDSs include manufacturing plants, communication networks, computer systems, management information databases, logistics systems, command-control-communication systems, robotics, and other man-made operational systems. The state processes of such systems cannot be described by differential equations in general. The aim of this journal, Discrete Event Dynamic Systems: Theory and Applications, is to publish high-quality, peer-reviewed papers on the modeling and control of, and all other aspects related to, DEDSs. In particular, the journal publishes papers dealing with general theories and methodologies of DEDSs and their applications to any particular subject, including hybrid systems, as well as papers discussing practical problems from which some generally applicable DEDS theories or methodologies can be formulated; The scope of this journal is defined by its emphasis on discrete events and the dynamic nature of the systems and on their modeling, control and optimization.
