电子媒介时代语境下新诗发展的前景

The Prospect of Modern Poetry At the Time of Electronic Media

21世纪初,中国现代新诗的发展走到了十字路口,随着以网络为主的电子媒介时代的到来,新诗的发展举步维艰,有人甚而断言新诗将成为我国最先消亡的文学种类。笔者以为,新诗"消亡"论者未意识到,新电子媒介的兴起也给中国新诗带来了新的机遇,使得新诗的发展发生了新的变化。新媒体诗歌———网络诗歌、短信诗歌在新兴的电子媒介(网络和短信)上繁盛的事实,电子媒介时代语境下诗歌与图像之间"和而不同"的共生互补关系,都说明了新诗不仅不会消亡,而且面临新的发展前景。

In the early period of the 21st century, Chinese new poetry come to a critical crossroad with the coming of internet dominant electronic media time which places new poetry in a dilemma. For this reason, some people even claim that modern poetry would be the first literature form to face extinction. The writer is however against the extinction view, pointing out that those people fail to realize the new opportunity for modern poetry in the electronic time. The flourishing of new media poetry including network poetry, message poetry on cell phone, combined with pictures, clearly shows that modern poetry will never die out but have a new prospect.
