本文认为，最近的研究全球环境变化及其对三角洲，社会和生态补丁，体现了人类世的环境动态的影响。通过这些三角洲研究，我们探索了一种关于人类与地球关系的新兴想象。具体而言，我们指出，在这些研究中描绘的不断变化的地球和人类活动之间的关系是一种情感关系，科学人类学最近引起了人们的注意。虽然人类学所描述的情感关系取决于身体受其他实体影响的能力，但三角洲的全球变化研究要求公众将集体生活，包括基础设施，土地使用，资源消耗和伴侣物种，想象成受变化的星球影响的复合体。这种想象力是在弹性概念附近发展起来的类比，弹性这个术语起源于数学生态学和计算机科学中的复杂适应系统。在探索这种跨学科的思想和模型的交通，我们阐明了一个类比的想象力，跨越机器和生物体的边界。
This paper considers recent studies of global environmental change and their impact on the deltas, social and ecological patches that epitomize an Anthropocene environmental dynamism. Looking into these delta studies, we explore an emerging imagination about human-planet relations. Specifically, we indicate that the relationship between the changing Earth and human activities depicted in these studies is comparable to the kind of affective relations to which the anthropology of science has recently brought attention. While affective relations as anthropologically described depend on the capacity of the body to be affected by other entities, global change research on deltas asks the public to imagine collective life, including infrastructure, land use, resource consumption, and companion species, as composite bodies affected by the changing planet. This imagination is made possible by analogies developed in the vicinity of the notion of resilience, a term that originated in mathematical ecology and complex adaptive systems in computer science. In exploring this interdisciplinary traffic of ideas and models, we elucidate an analogical imagination that crosses the border of machines and organisms.
