海明威:作家、传媒、大众共同制造的经典作家与文化偶像

Hemingway:Classic Writer and Cultural Icon Created by the Media, the Mass and the Man Himself

海明威是我国读者最为熟悉的当代美国文学经典作家之一,也是一位广受大众欢迎的美国文化偶像。从其作品的文本生产、接受与传播过程来看,海明威实际上是一个由他本人的自我建构、作家与图书传媒的商业合谋经营、大众的文化消费和复制活动共同制造而产生的经典作家和美国文化偶像。审视和反思海明威从文学青年到经典作家和文化偶像的塑造过程,有助于我们更全面、更深刻地理解作家的身份和大众文化消费行为的多元性和复杂性。

Hemingway is one of the most familiar contemporary American classic writers among Chinese readers, and also an American cultural icon. From the process of the texts production, acceptance and transmission of Hemingway’s works, we can see that Hemingway is actually a classic writer and an American cultural icon created by his own self-construction, commercial collusion between writers and media, mass cultural consumption and reproduction activities. Examining Hemingway’s shaping process from literary youth to classic writer and cultural icon will help us understand more comprehensively and profoundly the identity of writers and the plurality and complexity of mass cultural consumption.
