制造同意:技术封建主义的意识形态批判

Manufacturing Consent: An Ideological Critique of Technological Feudalism

  • 摘要: 技术封建主义是资本主义社会经济秩序等级化、封建化、依附性的极致表现,但并不是部分西方左翼学者所认为的资本主义已经灭亡,资本已经被信息矢量或其它的物质形式所取代。从数字领主的信息捕获活动和租金奴役,可以管窥作为数字领主的资本主义统治者依旧在延续传统资本主义的统治策略,即以物质资料所有权制造普遍同意的社会生产关系。数字领主凭借数字基础设施等物质资料所有权打造了封闭性数字领地,在这个缺乏流动性的数字领地内,数字领主以依附型数字结构内化在数字农奴的日常生活之中。数字租金表现为一种意识形态,它为数字领主支配数字农奴提供了经济指挥和生命政治规训的不对称权力。对技术封建主义的意识形态批判,能够更加明晰数字时代资本主义统治策略的动态变化,以及把握社会经济过程的数字剥削样态。

     

    Abstract: Technological feudalism is the ultimate manifestation of the hierarchical, feudal and dependent nature of the capitalist economic order in society. However, it does not mean that capitalism has perished as some Western left-wing scholars believe, and that capital has been replaced by information vectors or other material forms. From the information capture activities and rent enslavement carried out by digital lords, it can be seen that the capitalist rulers as digital lords are still continuing the traditional capitalist ruling strategy, that is, creating a universal consent social production relationship through the ownership of material resources. Digital lords have created closed digital domains by virtue of the ownership of material resources such as digital infrastructure. Within this domain lacking in fluidity, digital lords internalize the dependent digital structure in the daily lives of digital serfs. Digital rent is an ideology that provides digital lords with unequal power for economic command and biopolitical discipline over digital serfs. Ideological criticism of technological feudalism can help us better understand the dynamic changes in the ruling strategies of capitalism in the digital age and grasp the digital exploitation patterns in the social and economic process.
