信息化社会生产与数字劳动异化——对马克思“异化劳动理论”的当代阐释

Informationized society production and digital labor alienation: A Contemporary Interpretation of Marx’s Theory of Alienated Labor

马克思在《1844年经济学哲学手稿》中用"异化劳动理论"揭示出资本主义奴役劳动、以商品统治人等种种隐藏的资本剥削逻辑,旨在为实现人的自由、扬弃异化以及实现劳动者和劳动资料相统一做出科学批判和理论解释。《手稿》及其异化劳动理论迄今仍然可以作为解释和认识当下信息化社会生产中"数字劳动"的一个重要的理论切口和方法论。本文以马克思异化劳动理论为"接点",对当下"数字劳动场域"的资本奴役进行媒介批判考察,以期从马克思异化理论的视角对数字时代的信息生产和传播中的"异化"做出解释,为马克思异化劳动理论与媒介批判在新的历史交汇点中找到"弥合"的可能。

In "1844 Economics and Philosophy Manuscript", Marx used the alienated labor theory to reveal the hidden capital exploitation logic of capitalist slave labor and commodity ruling, aiming to make scientific and critical explanations for the realization of human freedom, discarding alienation and labor data unification. The value of Manuscript and the alienated labor theory is not only a part of theory history, it can still be used as an important theoretical incision and methodology for explaining and understanding the "digital labor" in the current informational social production. In order to make scientific research on information production in digital age and alienation in communication from the perspective of Marx’s alienation theory, this paper takes Marx’s alienated labor theory as the "contact point" and conducts a media critical investigation on the current capital enslavement of "digital labor field", which also explains that Marx’s theory of alienated labor and media critique can find the possibility of "bridging" in the new historical intersection.
