Abstract

Abstract:The COVID-19 crisis gives us occasion to reflect on the insights and limitations of Marxist crisis theory. While ecological Marxists in particular have made incisive analyses of these crises, I argue that traditional Marxist frameworks are insufficient for conceptualizing twenty-first century global crises, which emerge from complex material entanglements across multiple socio-ecological systems and take on self-organizing dynamics that exceed human agency. I therefore suggest that an encounter between ecological Marxism and Deleuzian assemblage theory can provide a more productive theoretical foundation for understanding the COVID-19 crisis and mapping what I call the broader "planetary crisis multiplicity."

2019冠状病毒病与行星危机多样性:从马克思主义危机理论到行星组合理论

摘要:新冠肺炎危机让我们反思马克思主义危机理论的真知灼见及其局限性。虽然生态马克思主义者尤其对这些危机进行了深刻的分析，但我认为，传统的马克思主义框架不足以将21世纪的全球危机概念化，这些危机源于跨多个社会生态系统的复杂物质纠缠，并采取超越人类代理的自组织动态。因此，我认为，生态马克思主义与德勒兹集合理论的相遇，可以为理解COVID-19危机和绘制我所谓的更广泛的“全球危机多样性”提供更有成效的理论基础。

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.
