论大众传播与当代中国作家的身份确认

A Discussion of the Impact of Mass Communication on the Identification of the Contemporary Writer in China's Mainland

本文旨在考察20世纪90年代以来,大众传播对当代中国大陆作家的身份确认所产生的影响。文章认为,20世纪90年代迅速发展的大众传播对原有的以中国作家协会为核心的作家管理行政体制构成冲击,并消解和削弱了原有的文学评判的运作机制和标准,开始产生出更为适应市场机制和文化消费的体制,其突出表现是自由撰稿人群体的出现。而这些都表明,大众传播改变了作家身份确认的系统,将作家的文学创作及其与社会文化的关系导入更为市场化的轨道,文学在此过程中也面临着新的困境。

This discourse aims to consider what mass communication in China has brought to the identifying of the contemporary Chinese writer. This article claims that the rapidly developed mass communication in 1990's China has struck the old proffessional writers administration system which takes CWA as its core organization and has put the old mechanism as well as the old standard for literature criticizing under great challenge. Meanwhile, some kind new system adapting to the market mechanism and culture consumption appeared, which was indicated by the emergency of a colony of free lance. The changes of the writer identifying system have strongly propelled China writer's production and its relations with society and culture to the marketization obit,and in such a course the Chinese literature is facing with new puzzledom.
