Spatial Turn And Literary Evolvement

"Spatial turn"in electronic media times is a noticeable important transformation of literary estheticism and academic research at the present age. Cultural digitization result in the appearance of cyberspace and media-poetics, especially World Wide Web overthrowing traditional single conception about geography space and linear history bring about disappearance and fission of literary boundary, and the ways of art representation are renovated. Moreover there is an important turning in theory focus of literary study: The traditional attention to time has transferred to space. Moreover cyberspace literature emerges in post-modern space which has character of post-geography and post-history, liking labyrinth and lens. Taking spatial turn theory of contemporary academic trend of thought as background, this article discusses literature's fission and theory multiplication in cyberspace, explains the literary art in cyberspace with Benyamin's Theory of"Mechanical Copy"and Baudrillard's theory of"Simulation and Simulacrum", explores the impossibility of theory space development of literature esthetics. This article is composed by"the introduction","the main text","the conclusion"and"the main text"divides into three parts.Introduction: Spatial turn of the ideological realm in contemporary western is the transformation of academic paradigm under the back ground of social culture of globalization and digitization."spatial turn"must be arouse literary evolvement.The introduction reviews related domain domestic and foreign research present situation,and chooses the joint-cutting based on those:Under the context of literary estheticism theory,combining with post-modern spatial turn theory,it discusses representative cyberpunk literature and network literature,and contemplates about the relationship between cyberspace and literary esthetic theory.First part: The relationship between space and literary at the back ground of"spatial turn".Borrowing soja's conception of"three kind of spaces"for the theory field, this thesis survey through space and literary history from the traditional literature, the modern literature to the literature in cyberspace to explain the close relations between literature and space.Second part: Literary particularities of cyberspace.From the views of"spatial turn"theory,mass communication,media-poetics,the influence that electronic media taking word wide web as characteristic effects to literature is probed into, and cyberspace literature's particularities of fission and multiplication is revealed by taking cyberpunk literature and network literature as examples.The Third Part: Meditating on literary esthetic theory of cyberspace.This part attempts to explain literary art and theory space of the Virtual Reality system, by taking Benyamin's theory of"Mechanian Copy"and Baudrillard's theory of"Simulation and Simulacrum"as cyberspace's phraseologies.With historical and logical speculation to distinguish the theory of literary's"aura"and worship value, literary's"disenchantment"and presentation value, literary's"re-enchantment"and manipulation value, we look for new"aura"in cyberspace, in order to reflect on cultural meditation at electronic media ages.Conclusion: We can weave a solid icon of literature and space conquering each other, with macroscopic and microscopic, diachronic and synchronic angles, which takes"spatial turn"theory as latitude and take variety of expression characteristics of texts that literature conquering three kinds of space and conquered by changing media technology in cyberspace as longitude, in order to deeply thinking about the relationship between the building of cyberspace and cultural digitization . we should clear up lots of anxiety about"Literature is dead"and"Aura have dispelled".Because of infiltration of multimedia technology, cyberspace literature have even more art tension and aesthetic value than before.Although digital aesthetics of cyberspace make people worrying about disappearance and fission of traditional literature, effectively it opens up new existence and development space of literature and poetics.
