克里斯蒂安·福克斯数字劳动批判理论的审思

Reflections on Christian Fuchs' Critical Theory of Digital Labor

以互联网为代表的数字信息技术高歌猛进并深入渗透社会生产生活,人类劳动亦打上数字化“烙印”。克里斯蒂安·福克斯立足这一变化,洞悉数字信息时代劳动变化的源与流,剖析数字时代的新型劳动主体、形式、“克扣”与异化,创造性地提出“互联网产消者”“无酬数字劳动”“无限制剥削”等见解,批判资本主义借助数字平台压迫人的行径,阐发为共产主义而斗争的解放道路,建立起独具时代特色的数字劳动批判理论。克里斯蒂安·福克斯对数字劳动的研究结果引发学界热议,使马克思主义政治经济学在数字时代更具真理光芒,启发数字时代的劳动者深刻思考,但不可否认他存有误解马克思生产性与物质劳动的争议、止步批判与分析、略显悲观的劳动解放态度。

Digital information technology,represented by the Internet,has advanced rapidly and deeply penetrated into social production and life,and human labor has also been branded with digitalization.Christian Fuchs,based on this change,understands the source and flow of labor changes in the digital information age,analyzes the new labor subjects,forms,"deductions"and alienation in the digital age,and creatively proposes insights such as"Internet producers and consumers","unpaid digital labor"and"unlimited exploitation".He criticizes capitalism's use of digital platforms to oppress people,elucidates the liberation path of fighting for communism,and establishes a critique theory of digital labor with unique contemporary characteristics.Christian Fochs'research on digital labor has sparked heated discussions in academia,making Marxist political economy more truthful in the digital age and inspiring laborers in the digital age to think deeply.However,it is undeniable that he has some misunderstandings about Marx's controversy between productive and material labor,stops at criticism and analysis and revealed a slightly pessimistic attitude towards labor liberation in his research.
