인지자본주의에서 가치법칙의 위기와 변형은 가치론의 탈경제학적·정치적 해석을 요구한다 - 전희상의 『인지자본주의』 서평에 대한 반론

Abstract

This article is written as a response to the review of Cheon Hui-Sang on my book, titled as Cognitive Capitalism. In this article I argue that the principle of value which measure a commodity by the socially necessary labor time for producing it, cannot explain the recent cognitive labor-reality and the decommodifying character of it. And I argue that the principle cannot be accepted as veritable in the case in which that principle appears as effective. Because that principle is so distanced from the real labor-reality and labor-relation. Marx preposed that value is irrelevant of the stuff or content of labor because of that value is determined by the lasting time of labor necessary for producing commodity. It can be easily applied to material labor. But it cannot be applied indifferently to immaterial labor. In the age of cognitive capitalism in which the immaterial labor is transformed into productive labor and is performing a hegemonic role in total labor of society, the value cannot be understand by the economic representation which is constructed on the image of production and exchange of commodities. So I argue that we need a new biopolitical understanding of the value-relation itself.
