超越文化批判:当代资本主义供应链的逻辑

The abstract concept of cultural critique describes how, amidst the mass consumption of the 20th century, culture evolved into a product of the modes or relations of production. Culture became a vehicle through which capitalism, as an ideological system, exerted its influence. This article tentatively poses the question: how can cultural critique be revitalized in the context of contemporary capitalist globalization? Focusing on the transformations in production systems driven by capitalist logistics and supply chain management, the article argues that processes such as cultural transformation, signification, dissemination, and contestation have become deeply embedded in the development of capitalism. Consequently, it is crucial to examine how infrastructure and technology have shaped the relationship between capital and labor, how the agency of the workforce has exploited vulnerabilities inherent in supply chains, and how that workforce has contended with the networked organizational structures underpinning contemporary capitalism. The overarching aim of this article is to enable culture to serve as a force of resistance against capitalism and to reflect upon the status of critique and ideology.
