Dancing In The Mirror

In the context of consumer culture ,A great change occurred about Chinese contemporary literature. The contemporary consumer culture constitute a huge mirror which exert a tremendous influence to the whole life world. The literature put forth to have its self-distinguish, approval and resistance behind the great mirror. So, the great changes have taken place about the mode of literature production, literature values, the style of mass, the form of expression, and so on.This paper try to reveal the real conditions of literature narrative in the society dynamic system by means of much theory resources. I want to probe into the several questions at the lower levels.The first is how to understand the consumer culture in the Chinese context? Consumer culture is becoming the leading culture form on a global scale. We should notice that China was involved in the tide of globalization. So there are many identical aspects between China and the Western about consumer culture. As the very important culture source,consumer culture turn into a kind of standards social ideology. Various consuming become crucial selection to self-improve and self-satisfy. But we also fully consider the complexity of Chinese context. In part one of my paper, I illustrated the limits on using consumer culture and explained the development condition of the consumer culture in China.The second is how to understand the deep influence of consumer culture to literature production? Consumer culture brought up new space, new mechanism and new regulations which literature production must be followed. Tradition pattern of literature production had a major difference because mass media began to take on the important duty of organizing culture production. The consuming purpose of literature production is determined by the consuming nature of mass media. The role of literature criticism was also transformed.

The prosperous prosperity of female novel seemly transmitted the natural connection between female and consumer culture. But in the back of the prosperity, female narrative was reformed tenaciously and dominated secretly. That female is equal to body become the important logic. The true living condition was concealed.In addition, the emphasis of literature turned into all kinds of consuming spaces, including urban daily life, urban space and globalization imaginary. Those spaces which wasn' t provided with consuming value was neglected, such as the lowest rung or the peasant life. The flashy literature narrative made up the critical defilade to truth life, history construction and the living destiny of people.Under the control of the contemporary consumer culture, the character of literature consumption is becoming a kind of exclusive value standard, and excluding the literature social value and the literature aesthetic value. So the literature is became a common culture consumable, the development of literature run into the crisis in respects of social participation and aesthetic exploring. Therefore,...
