Symbolic Capitaland Power Generation Of Digitalbooks Fromthe Perspective Of Firld Theory

Digital technology has given birth to a new format of publishing,the trend of media integration is deepening,digital reading comes into being at the historic moment,the publishing industry is also seeking a new balance in the contradiction between supply and demand,traditional books are gradually transforming towards digitalization and networking,and publishers are also beginning to develop towards intelligent service and platform management.The "good positive image" contained in traditional books for thousands of years has also been extended to digital books.As a kind of symbolic capital,it plays an intermediary role of covering up the transformation of economic capital and power operation.Based on the field theory of sociologist bourdieu,this paper makes a global observation,and borrows the concept of john thompson Publishing House,a media scientist,to grasp the accumulation and representation of symbolic value of digital books in the field,as well as the transformation and generation of power,and then analyzes the two-way interactive relationship between symbolic capital and power generation of digital books.Publishing is not only an industry,but also a cultural creation,and it is also the inheritance of civilization.Digital technology has built more runways for the inheritance of culture.Digital books use digital technology to write and transmit culture,and bring humanistic care into reality.At the same time,it redistributes the power in the publishing field,spreading more symbolic values to all fields of social practice.In the structure of publishing field,firstly,the culture in books embodies the success of symbolizing capital accumulation in the dimension of history and time;secondly,the rise of digital reading and network platform services has not destroyed the special symbolic value of books,but made them violent weapons to grab the position and power of resources in the field.The empowerment of digital technology extends the main body of power production from the government and traditional publishers to readers,platform self-organization and Internet creators,and reshuffles the power structure and organizational structure in the field.Because of the natural capital tendency of power,technology empowerment is ultimately subject to capital rationality.The symbolic capital in digital books conquers its objects and exerts its charm through the network through a kind of symbolic practice with hidden nature of "gentle" and the process of "convincing people with reason" quietly,thus becoming the best means to sew up the secret of culture and interests.The complex symbolic practice in books plays an important intermediary role in the distribution of power and capital reproduction among the whole fields,even in the connection with other fields.
