| In the digital era,digital technology,represented by big data,has been widely used in society and gradually penetrated into all aspects of human society,reshaping the way people think and live.While enjoying the benefits brought by digital,we are also facing a new crisis brought by digital: digital alienation.Digital has become an important factor in production and life,human activities have been gradually replaced by digital,and human itself has become an appendage under the control of digital,which has caused human alienation.How to sublate digital alienation and realize digital communism has become an important topic for current scholars.Based on this,this thesis takes the generation and sublation of digital alienation as the core theme,and aims to make a critical study of the evolution and development of digital alienation,the generation process of digital alienation,the causes of generation,the practical performance,and the practical significance of digital alienation from the perspective of historical materialism,so as to provide a theoretical basis for the sublation of digital alienation and the construction of digital China.The thesis is divided into four parts:The first part combs the evolution and development of digital alienation from the perspective of historical materialism.The concept of alienation was established with the development of historical materialism.In the embryonic period of historical materialism,Marx put forward four provisions of alienated labor;During the establishment of historical materialism,Marx discussed alienation from the perspective of relations of production;In the development period of historical materialism,Marx revealed the alienation of capitalist society from the perspective of capital criticism.Subsequently,alienation continued to develop and change with the rise of the technological revolution,becoming digital alienation.No matter what changes occur in the form of alienation,fundamentally speaking,digital alienation is human alienation,and the generation and sublation of digital alienation cannot be separated from the real material world.The second part focuses on the generation process of digital alienation.Based on digital labor,the generation of digital alienation can be divided into two stages: the first stage is from materialization to digitization.In this stage,numbers become new objects of labor,digital networks become the main means of labor,and digital labor becomes an important form of labor.The second stage is from digitization to digital alienation.In this stage,numbers become capital and exploit people involved in digital labor.The result is that numbers are opposed to people,and numbers become alien beings.At the same time,people suffer from digital alienation in digital labor as both producers and consumers.The third part elucidates the reasons for the generation of digital alienation and its manifestation in reality.In the digital age,the formation of digital alienation cannot be separated from the domination of digital capital logic,the capitalist application of digital technology,and the expansion of human instrumental rationality.Once digital alienation is generated,it is mainly reflected in human alienation: firstly,numbers have created enormous benefits for human society,leading to blind worship of numbers and the formation of digital fetishism.Secondly,people are immersed in the various conveniences brought by numbers,losing their dimension of negation or criticism of society,and becoming one-dimensional individuals.Finally,numbers quantitatively analyze human society,and the rich social relationships between people are quantified as the correlations between numbers.People only need to act according to the rules of numbers,and their subject status is lost.The fourth part explores the positive development and abandonment of digital alienation.Based on a dialectical view of digital development,starting from the reasons for the generation of digital alienation,we can achieve the sublation of digital alienation.Firstly,we should break away from the logic of digital capital and establish a digital space centered around the people;Secondly,achieving data sharing and building a digital community;Thirdly,awaken human subjectivity and maintain individual freedom of choice.In addition,the active promotion and abandonment of digital alienation has important practical significance for China’s development,which is conducive to guiding people to establish correct values,promoting the development of the digital economy,and accelerating the construction of a digital China. |
