从《哈利·波特》与《魔戒》的接受状况看中国社会的审美代沟

Aesthetic Generation Gap of Chinese Society Reflected by the Acceptance Condition of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings

《哈利·波特》与《魔戒》在中国的接受状况,呈现出鲜明的代际反差。年轻一代更为深刻地置身于宏大叙事崩解的“后现代状况”中,同时也因此更倾向于从奇幻文学宏大而自洽的世界观设定体系当中获取某种替代性的拟宏大叙事,从而获得某种代偿性的精神体验。老一辈的文学读者却往往会基于某种由现实主义文学奠定的审美心理定势,先在地拒斥奇幻文学的架空设定,因而难以产生出奇幻文学爱好者所享有的沉浸式体验。

The acceptance condition of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings in China presents a distinct intergenerational contrast. The younger generation is actually more deeply placed in the ″postmodern situation″ of the grand narrative disintegration, and is therefore more inclined to obtain an alternative type of quasi grand narrative from the grand and self-consistent worldview setting system of the fantasy literature, hence obtaining a compensatory spiritual experience. The literary readers of the older generation, relying on some aesthetic psychological mental set established by the realist literature, tend to antecedently reject the overhead setting of the fantasy literature, which makes it hard for them to achieve the immersive experiences enjoyed by fantasy literature lovers.
