福克斯的数字劳动理论及其价值

Fuchs’ Digital Labour Theory and Its Value

摘要: 随着大数据时代的不断兴起，数字一词开始进入大众视野。数字伴随着智能、人工等词汇，科学家不断研究出新技术，试图用智能机器代替人工，用数字劳动代替普通的人脑劳动、人力劳动。所以伴随着日常生活的媒介化、各类APP平台经济的迅速崛起，数字劳动不再是一个边缘化、不受重视的领域，转而成为一个新潮、无时不在无处不在的一个显在现象。基于此种背景，“数字劳动”日益受到学术界、国际社会的高度关注。本文通过梳理克里斯蒂安•福克斯数字劳动理论的理论依据和其理论发展，发现其理论蕴含着诸多创新性的观点，对于我们正确看待数字劳动提供了重要的理论参考，福克斯数字劳动理论对于分析中国互联网行业也具有一定的启示。

Abstract: As the era of big data continues to rise, the word digital has begun to enter the public eye. Digital is accompanied by words such as intelligent and artificial, and scientists are constantly researching new technologies in an attempt to replace manual labour with intelligent machines, and to replace ordinary human brain labour and human labour with digital labour. So along with the mediatization of daily life and the rapid rise of all kinds of APP platform economy, digital labour is no longer a marginal and unappreciated field, but has become a trendy, ubiquitous and visible phenomenon all the time. Against this background, “digital labour” has received increasing attention from academics and the international community. In this paper, by combing through the theoretical basis of Christian Fox’s digital labour theory and its theoretical development, his theory contains many innovative ideas, which provide important theoretical references for us to correctly view digital labour, and Fox’s digital labour theory also has certain inspiration for the analysis of China’s Internet industry.
