摘要 Abstract:

新的媒介載體的出現會導致文學文本形態的變化，而文本形態的演變又必然帶來文學觀念一定程度的轉變，引發有關文學本質的爭論。文學發展史上，文學載體由口語—文字—多媒體技術—數字技術的轉變很好地驗證了上述觀點。文學演變的這一規律對於研究當前文藝熱點問題很有啟發價值，目前人工智慧技術的運用導致文本形態多樣發展，由此引發的“文學擴容”、“文學終結”、“語圖之爭”、“新大眾文藝”等問題值得重新思考。

The emergence of new media tends to bring about changes in the forms of literary texts, which in turn inevitably leads to certain shifts in literary concepts and sparks debates over the nature of literature. In the history of literary development, the transition of literary media from oral language to writing, then to multimedia, and further to digital technology, serves as a strong validation of this viewpoint. This pattern of literary evolution offers valuable insights for examining contemporary hot-button issues in literary studies. In the current context, the application of artificial intelligence technology has given rise to the diversification of textual forms, prompting a rethinking of such issues as “literary expansion,” “the end of literature,” “the debate between language and image,” and “new mass culture.”
