互联网时代文学的典型形态--超长网络小说与微文学并存,构成了“文学”的两副面孔。无论是超长篇小说还是微短篇文学,都是注意力经济下的产物,都以自身碎片化的符号形式来适应碎片化的时空。超长篇小说通过化长为短、稀疏的排版形式来适应新的阅读方式。微文学与手持上网终端尤其是智能手机的普遍使用相关联,以个体随性而发的姿态有效挑战了由上而下确定的文学边界。视觉文化的兴起和互动传播的信息方式共同造成了“文学”向“泛文学”的演进。超长网络小说和微文学都是速度文学的表现,体现的是短暂性的时代价值观,它们在缓解现代性焦虑的同时有可能构成新的信息焦虑。
Super-long web novel and micro literature -- the two typical forms of literature in theinternet age -- coexist and constitute the two faces of "literature". They are both the products of theattention economy with its own fragmental symbolic form to adapt to the fragmentation of the space andtime. By dividing the long into the smaller and the sparse layout form, super-long web novel becomeaccustomed to the new way of reading. Micro literature which effectively challenge the existing boundaryof literature are associated with the internet hand-held terminals, especially the widespread use of smartphones. The rise of visual culture and the spread of interactive information make the " literature" evolveinto the "extensive literature" together. Super-long web novel and micro literature are both speedliterature which reflects the values of the transient. They ease the anxiety of modernity while mayconstitute a new information anxiety.
