早在20世纪上半叶,中国就有陈西滢、梁实秋秉承精英主义的文学观,与20年代的“平民文学”活动相对抗。古往今来,中国的文化精英一直发挥着对社会大众引导、教化的功能。可是当历史进入90年代,随着市场经济的发展,现代化传媒技术的普及,知识精英的淡化和经典的边缘化成为了无可争议的事实。 As early as the first half of the 20th century, there were Chen Xiying and Liang Shiqiu in China adhering to the elitist view of literature, confronting the activities of the “civilian literature” in the 1920s. Since ancient times, China’s cultural elite has always played a guiding and educating function to the general public. However, as history entered the 1990s, with the development of market economy, the popularization of modern media technology, the desalination of intellectual elites and the marginalization of classics became indisputable facts.
