网络文学批评的难局与新路

目前的网络文学评论面临如何纳入现代文学理论框架的难局:职业读者没法启用惯常的文本批评方法;媒介要素对网络文学流通的作用远大于作品生产,媒介批评在市场供需原则之外无所建树;大众趣味相当程度上折射了当代市民社会的多元与混杂,专属的标准审美体系的引领作用日益式微。网络文学批评需要借助媒介批评带来新方法,通过市场原则下的文学制作人角色带来新任务,认同大众趣味的混杂不是降低文学的品格,而是将文学拉到更现实、更接近读写真相的新位置。在表达复杂的当代经验这个目标上,网络文学批评和传统职业文学批评及当代文学创作的努力是贯通的。

The Dilemma and New Ways of Network Literary Criticism

The present network literary criticism is facing the dilemma how to fit into contemporary literary theory frame. Professional readers have no way to wield regular text criticism method, media exerts far more influences on the circulation of works than the production, media criticism has no positive function except market’s supply and demand principle, public interests significantly reflect that society now is multidimensional and promiscuous, and the leading role of esthetic system declines day by day. Network literary criticism needs to get new methods from the media criticism and bring new tasks from literary producer with market rules. Identifying the hybridity of public interests does not mean reducing the character of literature, on the contrary, it draws literature to a more realistic and daily life style. On the goal of expressing complex present experiences, the endeavors of network literary criticism, traditional professional literary criticism and contemporary literature creation connect with each other.
