On Development of Literature in Electronic Age

进入电子媒介时代,一些较为年轻的学者受米勒、德里达等人的影响对文学的发展抱有较为消极的心态,认为"文学将死"。然而文学正在发展的事实证明,文学并没有走进死胡同。从文艺学家艾布拉姆斯在《镜与灯——浪漫主义文论及批评传统》一书中提出的文学四要素——社会、作家、作品、读者的角度来看,文学在电子时代呈现出依存环境的开放性、权威的消解、载体的多样化、读者整体水平提升等新的特点。在新的时代表现出来的这些新的特点,正是其得以发展的生命之源。面对未来,文学将会遇到更大的挑战,但是文学自身的特点及属性决定了其存在的价值以及终将实现其应有地位的回归。
