写手抑或作者?——网络小说的后现代书写观念及其局限

Writer or Author:The Postmodern Writing Concept of Internet Novel and Its Limitations

结构主义者指出,作品是一种无意识的社会和文化现象,而不是作者自主的表达。网络小说的书写不仅从现实的角度印证了这一点,更在书写形式上打破了作者对于文本的垄断。网络小说以社会化的书写方式,迎合了后现代的审美趣味,在书写方式上进一步促进了作者身份的"去中心化"转变。作者成了写手,创作成了书写。网络小说的书写成为一种游戏,成为存在的一种本真的表达。但是,后现代书写观念下的网络书写却仍然存在困境。一方面表现在书写的差异性被抹平,另一方面表现在难以回答伦理的要求。问题的根本在于后现代书写是对现代性创作的矫枉过正。写手和作者的观念各自把握了一部分真理,关键是在二者之间重新定位作者的身份。

The structuralists infer that the literal work is not an autonomous expression of the author , but an unconscious social and cultural phenomenon .The writing of Internet novels is not only a realistic testimony of this opinion , but also a break of author ’ s monopolization of the writing form .The writing form of the Internet novel has ingratiated itself with the aesthetic interest of postmodernists by the way of socialization , and progressed in the “de-centralization” of the author .Authors become writers , and the literal creation becomes writing.The writing of Internet novels becomes a game , and an expression of true natural being .However, there are dilemmas with the concept of postmodern writing .On the one hand , differences in writing have been erased;on the other , it’ s difficult to meet the requirement of ethics .The root of these problems lies in the over-reaction of the modern writing conception by the postmodernists .The conceptions of writer and author have grasped part of truth for each side .The key to solving these dilemmas is to rebuild the identities between writers and authors .
