时间狩猎术:钉钉工作群中“已读”装置的权力实践

Time Hunt:The Power Practice of“Read”Devices in the Ding Talk Work Group

在流动空间的赋权下,资本权力已渗透日常,他们创制了“时间狩猎”这一新型控制方式,隐蔽操纵着人们休闲时间的合法工作化。对此,重思时空关系应成为当代学界的重要任务。基于对时间、空间与权力关系的讨论,对钉钉工作群中的“已读”装置展开研究,发觉在复合、异化、禁锢的空间异变下,“已读”作为实时监视装置、倒计时按钮、临时驿站,辅助资本施展着隐蔽式驯化、倒序式计时、转嫁式剥削三种狩猎术;进而,人们的自我时间会陷入降级、加速和搁浅的病态。最后,通过对比微信、QQ等其他社群,进一步发现“已读”加持下,资本时间狩猎术从1.0到2.0的版本进阶。

Under the empowerment of mobile space,capital power has infiltrated people's daily lives,creating a new type of control method called“time hunt”,which covertly manipulates the legalization of people's leisure time.In this regard,rethinking the relationship between time and space should become an important task for contemporary academia.Based on the discussion of the relationship between time,space,and power,a study was conducted on the“read”devices in the Ding Talk work group.It was found that under the spatial changes of recombination,alienation,and confinement,“read”serves as a real-time monitoring device,countdown button,and temporary station,assisting capital in implementing three hunting techniques:covert domestication,reverse timing,and transfer exploitation;Furthermore,people's self time will fall into a pathological state of degradation,acceleration,and stranding.Finally,comparison of social groups like WeChat and QQ further indicated that with the support of“read”,capital time hunt has advanced from version 1.0 to version 2.0.
