Abstract

Cognitive capitalism represents an extension of capitalism that involves the valorization of knowledge and knowledge labor. With the university as a crucial site of knowledge work, the implications of cognitive capitalism become of great significance. This essay functions as a critical way of understanding cognitive capitalism for educators. First utilizing Marxist theory, the origins of cognitive capitalism are examined as the social nature of capital enables the valorization of cognitive labor. Afterward, pertinent features of cognitive capitalism are discussed, particularly how cognitive capitalism functions in contemporary capitalism and how the production of knowledge commodities supplants non-commodified forms of knowledge. This discussion leads to an analysis of the relation between cognitive capitalism and education where education recast as a commodified process holds problematic implications for the work educators perform and their relationships with students.

知识资本化:认知资本主义与教育之间的交叉点
认知资本主义是资本主义的延伸,涉及知识和知识劳动的价值增值。随着大学作为知识工作的重要场所,认知资本主义的含义变得非常重要。本文为教育工作者理解认知资本主义提供了重要途径。首先利用马克思主义理论,考察了认知资本主义的起源,因为资本的社会性质使认知劳动得以增值。随后,讨论了认知资本主义的相关特征,特别是认知资本主义在当代资本主义中的作用,以及知识商品的生产如何取代非商品化的知识形式。这一讨论导致了对认知资本主义和教育之间关系的分析,其中教育被重塑为一个商品化的过程,对教育者的工作及其与学生的关系产生了问题。
