透视数码游戏:西方数字时代的“劳动→娱乐”[]移位机制与人之存在困境

On Digital Game:“The Labor→Entertainment”Displacement and the Dilemma of Human’s Being in Digital Times

在数字时代的西方资本主义国家,资本运作表现出新的特性,对劳动力的剥削也因此更加隐秘。以数码游戏为例,玩家不只是娱乐者,也是消费者,更是没有意识到自己劳动者身份的劳动者(其生产的是一种特殊产品,即数字)。在“劳动→娱乐”移位机制作用下,玩家陷入娱乐的幻觉,毫无自察地完成从“被迫劳动”到“上瘾劳动”的转换,其创造的丰厚剩余价值被数字资本家无偿占有和使用,其本身受到更深重的奴役和压迫。在被数字及数字资本渗透和支配的西方世界,人的主体性地位受到威胁,在异化劳动之外,隐私面临裸露,社会行动和交往也被数字中介操控。

In digital times,the capital operation in western capitalist states shows new characteristics,thus the exploitation of labor becomes subtler and highly-efficient.Taking the digital game as example,the game player is not only the entertainer,but also the consumer and the laborer who is unconscious of his own role as a laborer(He produces a special product,i.e.digit).Under the function of“labor→entertainment”displacement,the player is trapped in the illusion of entertainment and transforms from“being obliged to work”to“being voluntary to work”.Therefore,the abundant surplus value created by the player is possessed and used by the digital capitalist without paying back to the player who suffers from heavier oppression.In the western world,which is permeated and controlled by digit,human’s subjectivity is threatened.They are confronted with the labor alienation and the deprivation of privacy.In addition,their social action and communication are manipulated by digit.
