文学消费与文学的功用问题

On the Literature Consumption and Function

关于文学的功用问题几千年来人们已形成了大体一致的认识。但从改革开放以来，随着我国市场经济发育的成熟和消费时代的到来，文学的消费性受到空前的重视和强调，这固然突出了读者在文学活动中的地位，但同时也带来不少弊端，造成不少作家跟着市场走、一味媚俗的状况，使文学在很大程度上丧失了自己的社会功用。本文对此提出了批评，并对消费时代文学如何发挥社会功用问题提出了自己的看法。

It gives Promine to the readers' Position in literature activities, and meanwhile results in so much malpractice that many writers cater to the market taste.
