印刷术与现代作者观的形成

Printing and the Formation of Modern Authorship View

作为文学最重要的复制技术和传播载体,印刷术建构了现代作者观。它以书面文化形态介入文学,与独创性、权威性共存于“作者”一词中。它促进了理性主体的形成,激发了作者个性意识的形成,加强了对作者权利的法律保护,而且为艺术家社会形象的建构提供了社会物质条件。在当下电子时代,将研究视点转回印刷术,不仅有助于我们更深入地认识媒介技术如何塑造文学和作者观,而且为理解艺术主体在电子媒介时代所发生的一系列变化探索出一条以技术为视角的路径。

As one of the most important literature reproduction technology and transmission carrier,printing constructs the modern authorship view.As a kind of written culture,it coexists with authority and originality in the word“author”.It promotes the formation of rational subjects,stimulates the formation of the author's personality consciousness,strengthens the power of legal protection for authors,and provides social material conditions for the construction of artists'social image.In the current electronic age,turning the research point back to printing will not only help us to have a deeper understanding of how media technology shapes literature and authorship view,but also help us to explore a research path from the perspective of technology in order to understand a series of changes of artistic subjects in the electronic media era.
