The Interpretation Schemes and Relief Strategies of Time Crisis in Modern Society——Rosa and Byung-Chul Han's Consensus and Disagreement on Acceleration
The acceleration of society and the lack of subject time are a major problem perplexing contemporary people.Living in the digital age,Rosa and Byung-Chul Han not only have a deep insight into the acceleration nature of contemporary society,but also accurately capture that the accelerating forces of society have not merged into a liberated force,but have become the bondage of contemporary people.Rosa directly points out that contemporary people are trapped by the acceleration of society,and people are trapped in a busy predicament.Byung-Chul Han,on the other hand,always believes that so-cial acceleration is only a manifestation of modern society,and the lack of time and time disorder of contemporary people are due to the elimination of narrative tension caused by the atomization of time.Rosa and Byung-Chul Han's thoughts enlighten us to deeply understand the internal relationship be-tween"acceleration"and time crisis.As the main characteristic of the development of modern society,"acceleration"does not necessarily lead to the lack of subject time,but the lack of subject time is inex-tricably related to the acceleration of society.The root cause is that social acceleration and the lack of subject time are the inevitable phenomena under the logic operation of capital.Social acceleration caters to the desire of capital proliferation and accumulation,and subject time shortage and crisis are also caused by the struggle of capital.In fact,the world relations of"resonance"or the life style of"medita-tion"are unable to alleviate the crisis of subject time shortage.Only by returning to Marx's criticism of political economy and carrying out substantive criticism of capital and its logic can we find a good way to get rid of the dilemma,and only then can the return of free time and the comprehensive development of people can be possible.
