The Outline Of Network Poetry

The emergence of network poetry is the inevitable consequence of Chinese poetry in 1990's. It concerns with the tide of marketization and globalization at the turn of the century, with the postmodern cultural context of multi-values and with the rapid developing network information technology. After over ten years development, network poetry has gradually become one important form of nowadays poetry and caused concerns from more and more researchers. They are internet original poetic works, written on the internet , published through the internet and may be spread and exchanged widely with their free and popular feature. The massive emergence of network poetry will inevitably bring about the omni-directional changes of modern Chinese poetry and cause new esthetic revolution and literary form revolution.In a certain sense, the appearance of network poetry is premised and marked by the establishment of some poetry website, so it becomes the breakthrough point of the whole study. Their network poetics view will be considered and the major poets and poetical works from the forum will be researched according to the version from the theoretical and practical point of view. As a new cultural phenomenon, the esthetic feature of postmodern culture could be concluded as: depth pattern being chopped, historical awareness disappeared, subjectivity lost, the sense of distance vanished. It is on the range of these cultural spirit, network poetry condensed inextricable postmodern complex. The birth of network meets the demands of human's thirst for the enhancement of communication and interchange. With its distinctive individuality, it wins the most attractive title"the forth media". The network media has powerful permeating and active ability towards poem writing. The combination of poetry and network does produce some poetics with network cultural features and with evident network language features and psychic quality. Hypertext poetry and Multimedia poetry are the poetic styles which reflect network technological advantages to the largest extent, and will become the main developing direction of network form poetry in the next period.Fallen into the embarrassed circumstances in the plane medium, the contemporary poetics achieved unprecedented developing space in the internet. The convenient dissemination way and direct interchanging quality extremely stimulate the development of poetic art, meanwhile, poetics also saved the internet. The way of writing poems changed from diachronic writing in written writing, those poems written by the poets first, and then waited being published, into synchronic writing, these poems written and published at the same time. The upspring of network exactly provides new exit for the poetic field, which was full of tenseness, constraint and conflicts, and this exit exactly accords with all varieties of demands and imaginations in the poetic field. Network art is a kind of interchanging art. The emergence of internet hastened the parturition of the poetic website and brought about some changes in poet existence pattern, poetic text pattern and poem reading pattern etc. The reading-screen pattern of network poetry clears up the poetic sentimental experience in plane medium poetry reading. Thus, network poetry opens the passage from the folk writing into the amateur writing and breaks the discourse monopoly authority and institutionalized fence of the traditional medium.In the cultural context of post-modernity, the mechanism of network poetry's production and propagation provides the writers more expressive freedom and space, at the same time, it also results in the subject withdrawal. The essential quality of network culture is the most effective means of the dispersion central discourse pattern. As the folk borderline groups, the network poets hold the attitude of subject withdrawal , which leads to the subjectivity dispersion of network poetry. In the consuming society, the consuming civilization and cultural consumption are regarded as a whole with two aspects. This social indication accelerates the reproduction of network poetry, meanwhile, it turns into the natural bottleneck of network poetry esthetic sublimation. The network form poetry adapts the aesthetic expression of the consuming culture era, meanwhile, it clears up the esthetic connotation of poetic language. The masses cultural traits of network poetry just like a sword with two edges, just because it possesses a variety of scarceness, then and only makes it own further developing broad space. As a matter of fact, network poetry brought some negative affects on the development of modern Chinese poetry. The easy and free writing and the low-threshold publishing of network poetry result in hot and confusing situation of contemporary Chinese poetry, arising piles of character rubbish and lack of poems with high quality. As a whole, the network poetry at present is still in its infancy state, which shows us a great deal of immature aspects, such as the disorder condition at will, low-quality of network writing, poor of poetic initiation etc., all of these factors hinder the promotion of network poetic quality.Due to the lash of network poetry, the circles of poetry in 21st century formed the space structure with the benign interaction of official periodical, folk periodical and network poetry, appeared the integrating tendency of poetic resources. A lot of poetic websites are putting out web periodical, which has gradually taken the place of the former paper periodical printed at one's own expense, and become new expressive form of the folk periodical. Network and folk periodicals will be the strongest guarantee of Chinese poetry further development in this new century. Network poetry has already become the important conveyer belt for traditional publication to select materials. Numerous poetic lovers has anew returned poetic groups, poetic soil, climate, atmosphere has been improved. The development of network poetry and folk periodical can not only indicate the development pluralism of new century poetry, and also publicize the poetic writers'ego individuality under the field view of post modernization. The mergence of network poetry, folk periodical and official poetic publication and annual selected collections of poems established solid foundation for poets training, poems training and poetic theory dissemination.As a new-born thing, both the preponderance and challenges of network poetry are obvious. Only the research and guidance of network poetry theory would have been feasibly strengthened, the scientized and systemized construction of network poetry theory would have been advanced, the technological advantages of network poetry could be changed into literature's powerful preponderance, the transformation from quantity expansion to quality promotion could be realized, the great stride of network poetry from the infant to the giant could be achieved.
