马克思主义异化理论下对“内卷”和“躺平”现象的思考

Reflections on the Phenomenon of “Involution” and “Laying Flat” under the Marxist Theory of Alienation

现代社会变化莫测的外部世界和日益加速的生活节奏给人的内心世界究竟带来了怎样的影响?网络热词的流行似乎可以作为反映人生存状态的最优确证。观察分别入选了2020年和2021年十大网络用语的“内卷”和“躺平”,可以从中厘清一条引发青年群体现代性焦虑的逻辑链条。青年群体的现代性焦虑已成为日益严重的社会问题。青年的发展事关国家和民族的未来。以异化理论的发展审视青年的生存困境,探寻内卷、躺平现象与异化理论的逻辑关联是极其必要的。

In modern society, what kind of influence does the unpredictable external world and the accelerating pace of life bring to people’s inner world? The popularity of hot words on the Internet seems to be the best confirmation to reflect the living state of people. Observation has been selected as “involution” and “lying flat” in the top ten Internet terms in 2020 and 2021 respectively, which can clarify a logical chain that triggers the anxiety of modernity among young people. The modernity anxiety of the youth group has become an increasingly serious social problem. The development of youth is related to the future of the country and the nation. It is extremely necessary to examine the survival predicament of young people with the development of alienation theory, and to explore the logical connection between the phenomenon of involution, lying flat and alienation theory.
