论“扁平时代”的文学精神

Literary Spirit of the "Flat Age"

"扁平"时代是人们对网络时代的一种普遍的社会认同。网络文学有"奇幻主题"、"穿越主题"、"盗墓主题"、"现代言情主题"四大主题板块。奇幻表象的底蕴其实是现实社会中日趋激烈的利益追逐的变相;穿越和盗墓其实是历险,显示了作者内心与现实的巨大落差及其追求补偿的心态;言情主题表征着极为鲜明的时下的市俗精神。网络文学是批量的和被热捧、被参与的文学,是在主流以外生出的一种文学形式,是大众与通俗的滥觞。在网络文学中,创作主体以往的文学精神引领性更多地受世俗受众影响而代之以迎合性;虽有对中国传统文学从内容到精神的部分继承,也充斥着很多新鲜的元素,但也有对社会现实的疏离和冷淡以及前所未有的自我张扬……这就是"扁平时代"的一种文学精神。
