现代性与玩工：中国网游代练的媒介化实践、身份认同及反思

在个体化与媒介化交织的时代，数字劳动研究的“剥削”范式已然不足以解释中国网游代练者在职业选择、劳动方式、文化生产和身份认同等方面遭遇的社会风险以及个体身上彰显的能动性。因此，本文将“不稳定的玩工”纳入自反性现代化的理论视野进行讨论，并应用到对中国网游代练的研究中。研究发现，这一产业的劳动形式和劳动者的组成有着高度的异质性，产业的型构是由多个平台和非平台力量以及代练者们共同构成的弹性网络，而代练者的劳动实践在时间和空间维度上被媒介化了。此外，代练者在媒介化实践中建构了一套基于阶层、职业和亚文化的自我身份认同体系，这种建构会在相当程度上转化为工作机会。本文基于上述发现展开讨论：在现代性的审视下，劳动者的身份认同难以上升到解放政治，而是停留在生活政治阶段。然而，由于缺乏自律和他律，代练产业面临着严峻的信任和道德问题。最后，本文在反思中呼唤一种公共性的力量，号召代练者、平台和政府等主体共同协商、凝聚共识。

In The Era Of Individualization And Mediatization, The “Exploitation” Paradigm Of Digital Labor Research Is No Longer Sufficient To Explain The Social Risks Encountered By Chinese Online Game Boosters In Terms Of Their Career Choices, Labor Practices, Cult Ural Production, And Identities, As Well As The Agency Of Individuals. Therefore, This Paper Discusses “Precarious Playbour” In The Theoretical Perspective Of Self -Reflexive Modernization And Applies It To The Study Of Chinese Online Game Boosters. The Stu Dy Finds That The Forms Of Labor And The Composition Of Workers In This Industry Are Highly Heterogeneous, And That The Industry Is Structured As A Resilient Network Composed Of Multiple Platforms, Non -Platform Forces, And Boosters, Whose Labor Practices Are Mediated In Time And Space. In Addition, In Their Mediatized Practices, Boosters Construct A System Of Self-Identity Based On Class, Occupation, And Subculture, Which Translates Into Job Opportunities To A Considerable Extent. Based On The Above Finding S, This Paper Discusses: Under The Scrutiny Of Modernity, The Identity Of Workers Is Difficult To Rise To The Stage Of Liberation Politics, But Stays In The Stage Of Life Politics. However, Due To The Lack Of Self-Discipline And Other Discipline, The Boosting Industry Faces Serious Trust And Ethics Issues. Finally, This Paper Calls For A Kind Of Public Power In The Reflection, Calling On The Actors, Platforms And Governments To Consult Together And Build Consensus.
