网络文学:庞然大物的挑战

Network Literature:Huge Monster's Challenge

作为文学的传播工具,网络的性质经过三个途径内在地嵌入文学的生产和消费:文学的表述形式,文学生产模式,文学的传播模式和读者的接受。网络文学的超文本具有巨大意义,十五年来它并未在形式实验方面走多远。尽管批评家对网络文学的浅白、通俗颇有微词,它却获得了大众、利润的支持。盛行的网络文学凸显了大众的娱乐渴求,同时往往流露出粗糙简单的倾向。论文具体分析了多种谱系的"大众"理论对于网络文学评价体系的意义。作者同时指出,对于文学研究说来,网络文学仍是一个陌生的庞然大物,其"内部研究"远未展开。

As one of mass media of literature,network is internally embedded in the production and consumption of literature in three ways: expression form of literature,production mode of literature,dissemination mode of literature and readers' acceptability as well. Hypertext in network literature is of great significance but in 15 years it has not gone further in experimenting with its forms. However,it has gained public support and profits though there are grumbles from critics about it superficiality and popularity. The prevailing network literature highlights the public desire for entertainment but reveals the tendency of its roughness and simplicity. The paper makes an analysis of the significance of a variety of theories of the ' masses' on the evaluation system of network literature. For literary studies,as pointed out by the author,network literature is still a strange monster and there is a long way to go for its ' intrinsic study'.
