时间演化与资本逻辑: 从工业资本主义到数字资本主义

Time Evolution and Capital Logic:From Industrial Capitalism to Digital Capitalism

社会时间是社会建构的结果与产物,社会的变革会带动时间的变化。文章通过梳理工业资本主义时期和数字资本主义时期的时间特点发现,在工业资本主义时期,时间展露出标准化、商品化并向夜间拓展的特点;在数字资本主义时期,时间表现出不同于工业资本主义时期的形式,包括时间结构的弹性化、时间意识的模糊以及时间连续性的断裂。而数字资本主义时间演化背后的深层次问题是数字资本与数字技术的共谋进一步加深了资本逻辑对时间的控制,使整个社会都成为时间剥削的场域。

Social time is the result and product of social construction,and social change will lead to changes in time.By combing the characteristics of time in the periods of industrial capitalism and digital capitalism,this paper finds that in the period of industrial capitalism,time exhibits the characteristics of standardization,commodification and expansion into the night;in the period of digital capitalism,time shows forms different from those in the period of industrial capitalism,including the flexibility of time structure,the blurring of time consciousness and the fracture of time continuity.The deep-seated problem behind the evolution of time in digital capitalism is that the complicity of digital capital and digital technology further deepens the control of capital logic over time,making the whole society a field of time exploitation.
