为什么好多人离名著越来越远了呢?几年前我曾撰文分析过文学阅读式微现象,当时我意识到的问题是与新媒介的冲击有关。也就是说,当电影、电视与互联网上的内容成为许多人的观赏对象时,手捧书本进行文学阅读可能就越来越成为一种古典行为。而既然许多人连一般性的文学阅读都束之高阁了,遑论文学名著阅读?当然,这样去分析名著阅读现象难免显得粗疏,也许我们需要从更具体的原因入手,去弄清楚究竟哪里出了问题。自从文学名著诞生之后,估计它就在跟流行文化争夺读者,而争夺的结果可能是文学名著越来越处于下风。 Why a lot of people are getting farther and farther away from the classics? A few years ago I wrote an analysis of literary reading micro-phenomena, when I realized that the problem is related to the impact of new media. In other words, when the content on film, television and the Internet becomes the object of many people’s viewing, hand-reading of books for literary reading may increasingly become a classical act. And of course, many people, even general literary readings, are put away. Of course, it is inevitable to analyze the phenomenon of famous readings in such a way that they may be outdated. Perhaps we need to start with a more specific reason and find out exactly what went wrong. Since the birth of the literary masterpiece, it is estimated that it is competing with readers of popular culture, and the result of the fight may be getting more and more advantage of the literature master.
