: Formal analysis: A study on the narrative model of apparent independence and actual dependence in female frequency network literature
Abstract
This is an academic paper that uses formal analysis to handle classic plots in female-oriented online literature. AI was used in the creation of the paper, mainly for polishing the language and drawing pictures. (这是一篇用形式分析处理女性向网络文学经典桥段的学术论文, 论文的创作中使用到了AI, 主要是用来润色语言、绘制图片。) The following is the summary part (以下是摘要部分) Since the first formal work of female-oriented online literature (Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty 1), the evaluators of the life value of the female protagonist are usually male, which means that the ideal situation depicted in novels targeting women is to be affirmed and sought after by men. With the awakening of women's independent consciousness, a group of women's online articles that claim to be independent (independent entrepreneurship) have gradually emerged. However, in reality, success is still the affirmation and pursuit of men, and some have even replaced men, still centering around men. This should be the closeness of the socialist society dominated by men to the society of equality between men and women. Based on this phenomenon, this research will analyze and discuss it through the structuralist narrative model. However, it must be pointed out that this phenomenon is not static, but gradually transitioning from pseudo-independence to true independence, from positive affirmation of men to social recognition and sitting on par with men. In this process, many problems have also arisen, such as: Early online literature and current short dramas presented "birth to become a phoenix" and "you shed a tear, I will destroy a city." Therefore, this paper will adopt the formal analysis method of structuralist narrative to analyze the internal mechanism of the specific typical cases that are different from this online literature phenomenon, and systematically analyze how "independence" is constructed through the environment and narrative, and how it is counteracted by what kind of logic inside. The value of this study lies in its ability to go beyond the simple judgment of "rightness" of a single content, revealing the gradual transition of popular culture between catering to the progressive trend and unconsciously inheriting traditional ideas, thereby helping to understand the changes in the consciousness of different gender definitions in popular literature and art. To provide a more refined and internalized framework for analysis.
