“新世纪文学”的命名之惑

The Confusion of Naming“New Century Literature”

"新世纪文学"孕育于"文学终结"与"读者之死"的焦虑中。全球化与消费时代带来文学大环境改变,把文学创作与阅读都纳入商品过程,21世纪之初的文学较之以前有诸多异质性因素,为之命名在所难免。"新世纪文学"这一概念充满争议,它的存在是暂时性的,之后将有更适恰的概念取代它。

“New Century Literature” is conceived in the anxiety of “the end of literature” and ＆quot;the death of the reader”. Globalization and the era of consumption change the literary environment, which brings both literature writing and reading into commodity production process. Compared with the previous work, lit-erature at the beginning of 21st century had many heterogeneous factors and the naming of it is unavoidable. The concept of ＆quot;New Century Literature＆quot; is controversial and temporary and it will be replaced by an appro-priate concept in the future.
