On the varying ontologies of capitalism: Embeddedness, dispossession, subsumption
نویسنده
چکیده
This article offers a substantive understanding of the variegation of capitalism, in an attempt to move beyond the current impasse in the mainstream varieties-of-capitalism approach. Drawing on existing conceptualizations of capitalism-society relationships, as well as on Agamben’s reconceptualization of the Foucaldian notion of ‘dispositif’, the article identifies the ontological ‘dispositifs’ of embeddedness, dispossession and subsumption, associating them with ‘purely relational’, ‘sovereignty-based’ and ‘dualistic’ ontologies of capitalism, respectively. The article argues that these dispositifs are instrumental in capitalism’s process of subjectification, laying the foundations for a renewed belief in capitalism even under the most adverse conditions.

متن کاملDiscovering Cross-Ontology Subsumption Relationships by Using Ontological Annotations on Biomedical Literature
Cross-ontology concept subsumption relationships facilitate the integration of ontologies by explicitly defining the generalization of a concept over other concepts in different ontologies. However, existing methods for discovering these relationships show poor performances and one of the problems is the lack of instance data in ontologies that can be used to identify cross-ontology subsumption...
متن کاملCSR: Discovering Subsumption Relations for the Alignment of Ontologies
For the effective alignment of ontologies, the computation of equivalence relations between elements of ontologies is not enough: Subsumption relations play a crucial role as well. In this paper we propose the "ClassificationBased Learning of Subsumption Relations for the Alignment of Ontologies" (CSR) method. Given a pair of concepts from two ontologies, the objective of CSR is to identify pat...

Ontologies undergo changes for reasons such as changes in knowledge, meeting varying application requirements.

Examples of the logical difference include the difference in taxonomy, concept subsumption difference...
