"Spatial Differance"and"Time Divergence"of Internet Symbol Consumption and the Space-Time Production of Capital
As one of the main consumption forms at present,Internet symbol consumption has in-visibly stimulated people's consumption needs and desires.As a manifestation of the networking of commodity symbols,Internet symbol consumption mainly restrains consumers and their consumption behavior by changing the physical properties of space and time to construct an ideology of separation between appearance and interiority,"disembedding"of virtuality and reality,self-identity and con-sumption alienation,that is:in the spatial dimension,Internet symbol consumption makes commodity symbols exhibit"differance"characteristics through the"difference"and flow of space;in the tempo-ral dimension,Internet symbol consumption destroys the physical consumption space through the non-linear and rapid time and reconstructs a virtual consumption space dominated by the symbolic value of commodities.However,whether in the spatial or temporal dimension,Internet symbol consumption is essentially the transformation and coercion of consumers and their consumption behavior by capital,and its goal is to achieve unlimited proliferation of capital.For this reason,in the current society of Internet symbol consumption,consumers need to rationally seek to satisfy their own needs based on their own reality and on the premise of maintaining independence,prudence and self-selection awareness.
