时间加速中的社会结构、文化与个体——罗萨关于现代化分析的三重维度

Social Structure, Culture and the Individual in the Acceleration of Time——Hartmut Rosa on the Triple Dimension of Modernization Analysis

资本主义现代化的过程体现了一种运动力量和停滞力量之间的较量。当社会结构、文化与个体在时间加速中能寻求一种平衡时,运动力量就会占据上风,对现代社会的发展起到促进作用。一旦平衡失效,产生结构晶体化和文化凝固化现象,停滞力量就会超过运动力量,对社会文化的发展和社会的自我感知都会产生相应影响,个体身份也会陷入不确定之中。这种较量背后实质上仍是资本逻辑的控制,处于控制下的个体只有彻底摆脱资本主义生产关系的束缚才能发现真正的自我,实现美好生活的愿望。

The process of capitalist modernization embodies a contest between the forces of movement and the forces of stagnation. When social structure,culture and individuals can find a balance in the acceleration of time, the force of movement will prevail, thus contributing to the development of modern society. Once the equilibrium fails, resulting in structural crystallization and cultural solidification, the force of stagnation will overtake the force of movement, which will have a corresponding impact on the development of social culture and social self-perception, and the individual identity will fall into uncertainty. Behind this contest is still essentially the control of capital logic, and the only way for individuals under control to discover their true selves and realize their aspirations for a better life is to be completely free from the shackles of capitalist relations of production.
