技术封建主义面纱下数字资本空间权力的扩张

The Expansion of Power in the Space of Digital Capital Under the Veil of Technological Feudalism

  • 摘要: 当下,数字资本空间权力扩张发生的新变化使平台空间笼罩了一层技术封建主义的面纱。基于注意力、数据与算法的循环系统,数字资本在平台通过“注意力投入—生成数据—优化算法—更高效攫取注意力—生成更多数据”的循环下实现其增殖目的,并增强了平台空间的扩张效力。在此基础上,数字资本的空间权力扩张带来了三重后果:主体层面,数据用户沉溺于平台在娱乐消遣与政治民主领域所营造的自由幻象,遭受着隐匿的空间权力支配;社会层面,数字资本的空间掠夺重塑了社会结构,并催生出“云领主、云附庸、云无产阶级与云农奴”的新型等级结构;国家层面,西方发达资本主义国家通过与科技巨头的联姻形成了对发展中国家的空间霸权,加剧了全球的不平等。

     

    Abstract: At present, the new changes in the expansion of power in the digital capital space have shrouded the platform space in a veil of technological feudalism. Based on the attention, data, and algorithm loop system, digital capital achieves its proliferation goal on the platform through the cycle of “attention input → data generation → algorithm optimization → more efficient attention capture → generation of more data”, and enhances the expansion effectiveness of the platform space. On this basis, the expansion of spatial power of digital capital has brought three consequences: at the subject level, data users are addicted to the illusion of freedom created by the platform in the fields of entertainment and political democracy, and suffer from hidden spatial power domination; At the social level, the spatial plunder of digital capital has reshaped the social structure and given rise to a new hierarchical structure of “cloud lords, cloud vassals, cloud proletarians, and cloud serfs”; At the national level, developed capitalist countries in the West have formed spatial hegemony over developing countries through alliances with technology giants, exacerbating global inequality.
