Digital Subjectivity: A New Dimension in the Value Orientation of Digital Ideological and Political Education

Digital ideological and political education, as a new paradigm within ideological and political education (IPE), carries the mission of subjectivity construction. Human subjectivity evolves throughout history, taking on different forms across distinct contexts. In the digital era, it expands into the digital realm as digital subjectivity, which reflects individuals' capacity and inclination for self-expression, self-construction, and self-practice in digital spaces. This should serve as the fundamental value orientation of digital IPE, offering a practical anchor point for its high-quality development. At the attribute level, digital subjectivity synthesizes sociality and individuality, transcendence and practicality, as well as instrumental rationality and value rationality, aligning with the value goals of digital IPE. At the content level, it is articulated through digital consciousness, digital confidence, digital self-discipline, and digital freedom, outlining a clear developmental trajectory for digital IPE. At the typological level, digital cognitive subjectivity, digital affective subjectivity, and digital behavioral subjectivity collectively provide theoretical guidance, emotional cohesion, and value transformation, thereby shaping an educational paradigm that integrates theoretical depth, emotional resonance, and practical relevance.
