作为一种“新”文学的传统回归——关于网络文学当代困境的文化解读

Traditional Recurrence as a kind of New literary——Cultural interpretation of contemporary predicament of network literature

网络文学十年发展,从文学的边缘走向主流,从精英话语走向民间草根精神,从自娱自乐走向了有意为之的职业写作,从个人的文学活动走向了商业化运作。网络文学以其"新"特质独树一帜。然而,网络文学的"新"特质恰恰在于计算机及网络作为一种新媒体在再媒体化过程中对文学形成的影响,而其所具有的"新民间文学"精神也恰恰是在此过程基础上的一种大众文化指向下的传统回归。同时,文学体制与商业力量对这种过程起到了推波助澜的作用。

During the past 10 years＇development, Internet literature moves towards the mainstream from margin to the centre and counters the elite discourse with a kind of new folk spirit. Meanwhile, the writing was transformed into a profession from the personal hobby. It＇s not only an individual activity but a commercial operation. As the most remarkable characteristic, the ＂ newness＂ of the Internet literature should be seen as the influence of the process of remediation of the computer and Internet as a kind of the new media on literature. In this process, directed by the mass culture, the ＂ new folk spirit＂ of Internet literature implies a movement returning to tradition with the help of the literary institution and the commercial power.
