40403 - Emergent Horizons in the Capitalist World-System in Crisis

Mon, August 11, 10:00 to 11:30am, East Tower, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Floor: Concourse Level/Bronze, Michigan 1A

Description

Amid intensifying crises in the capitalist world-economy, new social, political, and economic horizons are coming into view. This panel brings together critical interventions that examine the emergent contours of political economy, labor, energy, and revolutionary praxis during a period of intensified systemic crisis in the capitalist world-system. From shifting labor regimes in China’s rural-industrial nexus to the contestation over digital infrastructures and energy transitions, and from the reimagining of revolutionary theory at the global scale to the rise of digital commoning movements, these papers collectively highlight how new socio-economic and political forms are incubated within the fractures of global capitalism. Anchored in the traditions of anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist thought and the world-systems perspective, this panel interrogates how crises in the current global order generate both constraints and openings for transformative social change. The panel reflects the growing urgency to analyze the restructuring of power, labor, and technological sovereignty as struggles over the future of our world intensify.
