Various viewpoints of mobile phone literature

Mobile phone literature can't change literary writing

Wu Liang: Mobile phone literature is equivalent to "oral literature"

Wu Liang, a famous literary critic in Shanghai, believes that the so-called short message is the circulation of all short spoken words in the mobile phone: greetings, blessings, notifications, inquiries, contact code words, private conversations, jokes, messages ... If we think that they are all literary writing in a broad sense, then it is only equivalent to what we used to call "oral literature".

Wu Liang believes that the writing of mobile phone literature must improvise and think with the thumb. If you use other tools (whether it's a brush, a hard pen or a computer) to write it first, and then input it into your mobile phone, it's a forgery. Can you call Tang poetry "mobile literature" when you input it into your mobile phone and send it out? Mobile phone literature has changed our life rather than literary writing. With mobile phone literature, we can travel thousands of miles away.

Cheng Wei: Mobile phone literature is harmful to literature.

Cheng Wei, a Jiangxi writer, thinks that literature is a spiritual thing and a pure land of people's hearts in the materialized era. As a product of the high-tech era, it is undoubtedly a kind of harm for mobile phones to intervene in literature. Cheng Wei analyzed: "It may be that some writers want to find a new way of literary communication through mobile phones, which makes them eager to try mobile phone literature."

"In my opinion, mobile phone literature is not a formal literary work. At most, it can only be regarded as the current urban folk text, just like folk literature. " If a writer is engaged in the creation of mobile phone literature, he must lower his spiritual level and adopt a gesture of "surrendering" to the mobile phone to meet the requirements and interests of mobile phone literature, which is harmful to his own creation. Cheng Wei also believes that even if a writer is interested in creating mobile phone literature, he can't compete with the wisdom of the people in the end, because the current mobile phone short messages or mobile phone sketches are more widely revised and integrated with the collective wisdom of the broad masses. People should be allowed to entertain themselves.

Writer Chen Cun: Why not let others play?

Chen Cun, a famous writer in Shanghai and known as the "master of network literature", asked him why he didn't let people play with him in view of the opposing views. Chen Cun believes that the emergence of mobile phone literature, like online literature, is the inevitable product of this technology and commercial times. He emphasized that a person who never writes happened to meet mobile phone literature and he was interested in making up such a joke. Why not? We should allow them to be interested in doing it and let people entertain themselves.

Chen Cun said that mobile phone literature has become a public topic because it provides new possibilities. In view of the commerciality behind mobile phone literature, he thinks its commercial elements are completely understandable, just like newspapers make a living by advertising.

Chen Cun believes that mobile phone literature is characterized by breaking the boundaries between art and non-art, and breaking the boundaries between literary professionals and amateur authors. However, online literature and short message literature, which are written expressions in virtual space, have limited preservation time. If excellent works go to paper media from the Internet and mobile phones, such works with literary value can be fixed and preserved for a long time.

Scholar Chen Li: Mobile phone literature is the twin brother of network literature.

Chen Li, a doctor of literature and a professor at Jiangxi Normal University, believes that mobile phone literature should have two meanings. One is to express the content of literature in the form of short messages, which can be called "literary short messages"; One is to express short messages by literary means, which can be called "short message mobile phone literature" in a pure sense.

Chen Li emphasized that mobile phone literature, as a new race in the literary base camp, posed unprecedented challenges to traditional mainstream literature from content to form with its cutting-edge cultural tentacles. Taking traditional printed literature as a reference, mobile phone literature has its own distinct personality characteristics. Mobile phone literature is a new language art equipped with electronic technology and the product of the development of digital technology to a certain stage. It is a brand-new literary style (therefore, it is also called thumb literature) which uses mobile phone as writing tool, digital communication network and multimedia high-speed transmission system as carrier and mobile phone as carrier to create, spread, store and read. The extremely fast communication speed has narrowed the time and space distance between the author and the reader, and made mobile phone literature become people's spiritual "fast food" for the first time. Screen reading, electronic storage and reading mode put short message literature under the background of mass cultural communication, which is incomparable to printed literature. But at this point, it is similar to the so-called "network literature", which can be described as a twin born in the multimedia era. Writer Ge: SMS has its special function. It is a special way of communication without physical appearance or sound appearance. It is more literary and has irreplaceable spiritual communication effect. Mobile phone literature will not disappear, but will get greater development. Short message literature will become a new literary style.

Ye Yanbin, deputy editor-in-chief of Poetry magazine: It is a new phenomenon that literary works appear on mobile phones, but it can't be called short message literature, but some literary styles are spread through mobile phones. If a separate literary category is listed for this purpose, it needs further recognition from the industry and readers.

Literary critic Zhang Ning: Mobile phone literature is bullshit! The so-called mobile phone literature is only the carrier of literature has changed, which is meaningless to the essence of literature. Mobile phone literature is not established at all, so I won't talk about it as a problem in the field of literature.

Netizen Lin Guichun: Mobile phone literature will become a new position of literature. Mobile phone literature is the product of thumb culture, and it is a short, concise, timely and literary new literary style based on mobile phone communication and aphorisms.

Netizen Forest: Since ancient times, the carrier of literature has undergone many changes, from bamboo slips to paper to computers to mobile phones. But the carrier has changed, not the literature itself. Li, one of the founders of mobile phone literature: Mobile phone literature may be popularized.

Li, editor-in-chief of Tianya magazine. Li told reporters that mobile phone literature is a conventional concept, which was not specifically put forward by anyone. "We do this mainly because there are too many vulgar things on the mobile phone. Why can't some excellent literary works be circulated on it? For example, some short and beautiful poems, greetings or short stories with real wisdom. After all, mobile phones are an increasingly important platform and channel. If we don't do it, others will do it. "

Li believes that it is entirely possible for mobile phone literature to become popular. He said: "In fact, many newspapers are now participating and opening related pages. After all, everyone likes short and humorous things, and writers are trying to write shorter things. Those sentimental words with a little improvisation are very popular. " Mobile phones have built a platform for creation, publishing and circulation, just like printed matter and the Internet. As long as there is such a platform, people will use it to create and spread literature.
