技术变革视域下网络文学的身体叙事——以穿越、系统流为中心的考察

Body Narratives in Online Literature under the Perspective ofTechnological Change—An Examination with Time-travel Fiction and System Stream Fiction as the Focuses

信息技术与互联网络的发展带来哲学探索和理论新变,推动后人类思考进入公共文化视野。中国网络文学的身体叙事呈现后人类特征,与技术变革深度关联。穿越叙事将人理解为信息,其间身体与意识分离、穿梭多种时空等想象,是虚拟身体漫游互联网络的艺术再现。系统流叙事是文学故事与游戏机制的融合,系统占据人类身体,指向控制论和信息主义视域的人机融合,隐喻后人类的生成。网络文学游牧式角色隐含去身化与具身性的内在抵牾,为人类重新审视身体与技术的交互提供了新的探索视角。

The development of information technology and the Internet has brought about new changes in philosophical inquiry and theory,and pushed post-human thinking into the public cultural horizon.The body narratives in Chinese online literature present post-human characteristics,which are deeply related to technological changes.Time-travel narratives interpret human beings as information,during which the body is separated from consciousness and travels through multiple time and space,an artistic reproduction of virtual bodies roaming the Internet.System Stream narrative is a fusion of literary storytelling and game mechanics,and system occupying human bodies points to human-computer integration in cybernetic and informationalism perspectives,and metaphorically to post-human generation.The nomadic characters of network literature imply an inherent contradiction between disembodiment and embodiment,providing a perspective for human beings to re-examine the interaction between the body and technology.
