怎样“浅白”,如何“大众”——从侦探小说《死而无哀》说开去

Ways of "Vulgarization" and "Publicity":Gilian Galbraith's Works

文章并非提供解读范例,旨在提防误读大众文化。借用文化理论与解读西方作品都为佐证一个观点:浅白与通俗只是"相对性特征"并非"绝对性指标",大众文化也需要丰厚的内涵和精致的表达;走向"浅白"未必走向"大众",却可能走向"终结";实现"大众"的出路在于,坚持理念开放化,催生类型多样化,追求价值多元化。

This paper studies the techniques of vulgarization and publicity in novels. It is argued that the popular culture cannot deviate from rich contents and fine expressions and that vulgari- zation and publicity are relative in the pursuit of value diversity.
