从绝望的哀矜到勇气的颂歌--克苏鲁神话元素在当代网文书写中的变异接受

From the Pity of Despair to the Ode to Courage--Variation Acceptance of Cthulhu Mythological Elements in Contemporary Net Writing

近年来有一定规模的网文作品在叙事中尝试运用克苏鲁神话元素,由爱潜水的乌贼创作的《诡秘之主》便是其中的突出代表。这类网文作品的出现一方面表明本土对于作为西方文化元素代表的克苏鲁神话的接受;另一方面,创作中不同于原初克苏鲁神话的鲜明特征也说明了本土接受过程中变异的发生。本文以这一变异接受现象为研究对象,首先梳理了克苏鲁神话的由来及其“反宗教的恐怖”“反科学的奇幻”的特质;随后结合网文文本与故事设定分析其在本土接受过程中发生的“内容重组”“光明转向”“幻想崇高”三重变异;最后结合网文语境,从价值观念、文化消费及故事重构三种角度阐释本土变异接受的缘由,以期揭示影响当下网文创作场域的复杂因素。

In recent years,the emergence of excellent web writings represented by Lord of the Mysteries not only indicates that the Cthulhu Mythos,as an element of Western culture,has been accepted by the domestic web writings,but also the characteristics different from the original Cthulhu Mythos indicate the occurrence of variation.This paper takes this phenomenon of acceptance of variation as the object of study,firstly combing through the origin of Cthulhu mythology and its qualities of“anti-religious horror”and“anti-scientific fantasy”,and then analyzing the local acceptance of Cthulhu mythology by combining with the text of the web article and the setting of the story.Then we analyze the three-fold variation of“content reorganization”,“bright turn”and“fantasy sublime”in the process of local acceptance with the text and story setting of net literature,and finally we explain the causes of local variation in the context of net literature from the perspectives of value concepts,media environment and genre reconstruction,in order to reveal the causes of local acceptance.Finally,the reasons for the acceptance of local variations are explained from three perspectives:values and cultural consumption and story reconstruction,with a view to revealing the complexity of the factors affecting the creative field of net writing.
