中新网北京9月23日电 (记者 高凯)由北京作家协会、北京文艺评论家协会、首都师范大学艺术与美育研究院主办的“网络文学高质量发展与经典化推进”专家对谈会日前在京举办。

与会嘉宾来自中国作家协会、北京市文联等相关单位,华中师范大学、首都师范大学等高校与研究院,以及在京网络作家群体。

This conference centered around the issue of canonization, which is also considered an important proposition in the current development process of online literature.有观点认为,经典化是传统文艺创作的产物,谈论经典化容易把网络文学纳入传统文学创作的生产机制和评价体系中,导致遮蔽网络文学的时代特质。而另一种观点则相反,认为网络文学作为中国当代文学重要的组成部分,完全可以进入经典化序列中,只是需要对评价标准进行再思考。

Li Yangquan, professor and director of the Institute of Literature at Central China Normal University, believes that online literature is a living culture that is always in dynamic change and contains a lot of interactions and comments. It cannot be interpreted solely from the perspective of textual works, but should be combined with interactive practices to fully consider the liveliness, interactivity, and community of online literature.

中国社会科学院文学研究所网络文学研究室主任祝晓风聚焦网络文学经典化建设,提出全新评判维度与发展思考。传统文学经典化依托艺术、历史、情感三大核心维度,而网络文学依托数字化媒介、连载创作模式与社群互动生态,形成了独特的情绪价值供给优势。基于此,可以将“人类情感共同体”作为网络文学经典化的全新衡量维度,这包括对共同脆弱性的识别、情感经验的可沟通性、共同希望的生成、价值维度的开启。

首都师范大学艺术与美育研究院教授、网络文艺研究中心主任许苗苗指出,考量网络文学的经典化应当加入时间性维度。 The interactive elements of early experimental works of online literature influenced subsequent mass creations. Relevant cases show that the canonization of online literature can be manifested as a process of continuously approaching classics with the changes of the times and media.

网络文学作家、北京作家协会-网络作家分会理事柠檬羽嫣结合自身经历认为,网络文学具有多元性,一部作品在经典化的初级阶段可能表现为某一方面十分突出,而能够经得起历史检验的作品则往往在多个维度上都有出色的表现。

中国作家协会网络文学中心主任何弘指出,在今天,网络文学的经典化可以放在新大众文艺的框架下进行理解,技术赋能带来了文化平权,也塑造了大众广泛参与的新的文艺生态。 For many contemporary works, the process of canonization has just begun when the creation of the work ends and mass dissemination begins. Therefore, contemporary literary and artistic expression cannot be constrained by traditional standards. Information technology brings fresh life experiences and also affects the form of conveying new experiences. Compared with traditional literature, online literature is transforming literature from reflecting the world to creating the world, and the trend of creating a second world with the help of words is emerging.

He Hong believes that, overall, the process of canonization of literary works is mainly a process of building consensus. Literature always needs to constantly find a new set of symbol systems to express new issues. Internet literature will also move towards canonization on the basis of constantly finding and building consensus. (over)

Open Questions

  • How to specifically construct an evaluation system for the canonization of online literature?
  • To what extent do traditional literature canonization standards apply to online literature?
  • How can the interactivity and community of online literature be quantified and incorporated into canonization assessment?
