网游、网游小说、网络文学:游戏视角下的文学叙事

Online Games,Online Game Novels and Cyber-literature:Literary Narrative from a Gaming Perspective

用游戏视角下的文学叙事观照网游、网游小说以及网络文学,可以发现三者之间的内在联结及相互渗透。开放式空间叙事凸显了网游的虚拟性、交互性和艺术性等特征,在将小说、故事等艺术资源引入游戏故事时,网游显示了自身的符号创意。网游小说在叙事上集合了游戏与小说双重特质,表征着虚拟和虚构融合的文本形态。在赋予游戏者角色化和形象化意义过程中,虚构和想象使小说超越了游戏法则。网游作为网络小说的叙事范式,隐含在小说的世界构建、情节组织以及人物形象塑造等方面,规制着小说游戏化文本形态,为游戏与文学关系的解释注入了时代特质。
