The Strategic Of Literary Development In The Time Of Visual Culture

At the turn of the century, there was a shift in the study of literature arts, among which the most eye-catching was the shift in visual images. Currently, visual images are overwhelming and everywhere in our life, occupying a large territory of culture in way of imperialism, thus, it can be safely concluded we live an age of visual images. Undoubtedly, the experience of today's people is more visualized and concreted, and people are more concerned about visual culture. But, as we are paying more attention to visual culture, we are in no position of neglecting the newborn crisis under such a cultural context. From my point of view, we should neither regard cunent visual culture as "wolves" in the story "Wolves are coming", nor consider the guard of literature existence a hard head; but we should historically and concretely analyze how visual culture will influence or transform the morphology and nature of literature, what opportunity will literature encounter in the new era, and with this opportunity whether literature can survive and thrive in the surrounding, chasing, interception and blocking of visual images.The thesis falls into three parts: the first part discusses the meanings of visual culture, the press of generative context and visual culture to literature, showing the contemporary crisis of literature; the second part ,the core of the thesis, brings forward the development strategies according to the dilemma of literature in the era of visual culture, mainly discussing the ways of rejuvenating literature and setting up era characteristics of literature from the prospective of visual images, electronic media and Chinese traditional aesthetic culture; the third part refutes the view of the end of literature arts, and testifies literature will not terminate, human will need a poetic world forever, which is the reason and foundation of the existence of literature arts.
