从虚构到写实——论网络文学的题材转向

From Fictionality to Reality:On the Turn of Subject Matters of Network Literature

网络文学20余年来的迅猛发展,不仅火爆国内文化市场,同时还畅销异域,在中华文化的海外传播中扮演着重要的角色。然而,一直以来,虚构类题材在网络文学创作中占有重要的位置。究其原因,大致可归结为资本市场的影响、读者的阅读喜好、作者驾驭现实题材能力的不足等多个方面。实际上,虚构题材的网络文学不仅彰显了中华文化的创新能力,起到了一种"全民疗伤机制"的作用,同时还弥补了传统文学创作中想象力的不足。然而,网络文学过度受资本市场的牵制,一味地追求"神出鬼没""虚构架空",与其承担的传播社会主义核心价值观、推动中华文化海外传播的重任并不相符。在网络文学的"主流化"进程中,其题材应转向现实主义的"实托邦"之上。

With the swift development in the past 20 years,network literature has not only become popular in domestic cultural market,but also sold well in overseas market,which plays an important role in the overseas transmission of Chinese culture.However,the network literature of fictional subject matters has always occupied an important position.The reasons can be concluded into such aspects as the influence of the capital market,the preference of the reader＇s taste,and the insufficiency of the writer＇s ability in controlling the realistic matters.Actually,the network literature of the fictional subject matters has not only demonstrated the innovative ability of the Chinese culture,which plays the function of＂curing wounds by the whole nation＂,but also made up for the deficient imagination of the traditional literary writing.However,because network literature is overly restricted by capital market,it has always been chasing the＂imaginative and empty narrative＂by writing ＂divine appearing and demonical vanishing＂,which is not consistent with the heavy task undertaken to transmit China＇s core values and promote the overseas transmission of Chinese culture.During the mainstream process of network literature,the subject matters shall turn to realist＂Practopia＂.
