摘要: “数字化”时代的网络文学基于赛博空间所提供的“虚拟”语境,表征的是虚拟化的“仿真”“拟象”世界,于是就有以“虚拟”为基本特征的“虚拟美学”。始于“虚拟”的“戏拟”大行其道,这使网络文学凸显出狂欢化的美学特征。“虚拟美学”是一把双刃剑,它固然可以解放人的想象力,但也有一个常遭人诟病的致命弊端:一旦缺失了坚定的价值立场及其衍生出来的文化批判精神,其激荡出来的消费性虚拟幻象极有可能会掩蔽生存性的现实真实,并由此造成文本内涵的虚空、干瘪和文本形式的粗糙、雷同。

Abstract: Internet literature in the digital era is produced in the context of virtual reality provided by cyber space, and its representation is through simulation or iconicity. The aesthetics of this literature is characterized by its virtualization, and parody as a popular technique derived in the process of virtualization highlights the carnival feature in the aesthetics. This so-called virtual aesthetics is a double-edged sword. While it liberates imagination, it also causes criticism for its lack of a firm value standpoint and cultural critique spirit. The virtual illusion characterized by consumerism may likely obscure the reality of survival in the real world and thus the texts may be devoid of meaning and significance and may become repetitive in forms only.

Key words:

Internet literature; virtual aesthetics; parody
