Crises Overlapping: Crises Between System and Network
摘要
The chapter aims to offer a debate regarding the general (and abstract) phenomenology of the crises overlapping. To this end, firstly, a typology of crises overlapping is proposed and, secondly the concept of affinity between two crises is designed and analysed, especially face to the (previous) concept of propensity. The core of the chapter refers to the so-called calculability of the affinity, based on which two crises are likely to overlap between them. Here, an algebraic formula is proposed, which is “cleaned” by its arbitrariness by using the technique of normalization to the unitary real interval. As a result, a comprehensive “map” of affinity between crises, classes and species inside each class is designed, from which the inconsistent/incompatible cases are eliminated (however, this construction has at most an illustrative character only). Next, a typology of aggregations in the society and in the crisis phenomenology is proposed and logically examined, based on which, finally, some basic cases of relationships between the crisis structure and the societal context are studied.
