The Transformation and Liberation of Female Labor in the Digital Age:A Perspective of Capital Accumulation
In human history,capital accumulation has formed the"central axis"of the transfor-mation of female labor.Through capital accumulation,the power of capital over labor continues to expand,and female labor has become an inexhaustible source of value creation,as well as a dark a-byss of capital exploitation.In the stage of primitive capital accumulation,the exploitation of women's labor was mainly manifested through violent means.The spatial exploitation of public land privatization,the witch hunting movement of reproductive capitalization,and the daily labor resist-ance of women constitute the main forms of physical transformation of women.In the stage of indus-trial capital accumulation,women were drawn into the capitalist economic system as reserve forces and became part of the capitalist machinery,submitting to the dual helix of capital and state rule structure.In the stage of digital capital accumulation,digital and intelligent technology continue to promote the restructuring of the global industrial chain,and women's digital labor has not only not helped liberation,but has become a new form of capital exploitation,forming the social reality of digital sweatshops.Women in the digital age are not facing individual oppression,but a huge digital whole of hidden oppression.Only by transcending colonization,mechanization and digital labor,stepping out of alienated physical forms,and forming a new subject form together with digital forms,can female labor in the digital age be liberated.
