The Myth of"Emotion"in the Field of Digital Capitalism
In the long development of Western philosophy,rationalism has long held a dominant position.In the second half of the 19th century,with the evolution of late capitalism towards neoliberalism,emotional factors such as indulgence and passion gradually broke free from the shackles of rationality,ushering in the transformation from"Logos"to"Eros".With the rapid development of digital technology,the virtual-reality creates emotional links,and the time and space field of emotional expression is further broadened.However,under the manipulation of digital technology,emotions are not only selected,embellished,and constructed by capital,but also degenerate into"new commodities"produced and circulated in cyberspace out of selfish desires;they also detach from the"real flesh"and evolve into"symbolic codes"inhabiting digital shells.The original authentic and rich emotional space is filled with countless cunning calculations of capital and mutual snooping that lacks a bottom line.The emotions between people gradually become alienated or turn into"false intimacy".Dialectically reflecting on the dilemma of"emotion"under the joint influence of"digital"and"capital"is academically significant for understanding the phenomenon of emotional alienation and exploring the path to emotional liberation.
