"Admission" and "Separation" : The Discourse Strategy and Legitimacy Reconstruction of "Amateur Writing" in the Traditional Literary Field
Abstract
This is a paper that analyzes the discourse power of amateur writers based on Bourdieu's field theory.(这是一篇基于布迪厄场域理论通过对素人写作的话语权进行分析的论文。)Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the discourse strategies and practices of legitimacy reconstruction adopted by the traditional literary field centered on professional writers, critics and literary periodicals in the face of the impact of the "amateur writing" phenomenon. Research has found that traditional fields respond to the challenge of "empirical legitimacy" through four core discourse strategies - "value attribution and incorporation", "boundary demarcation and segmentation", "technological disenchantment and professional discipline", and "ecological concern and system defense". These strategies work together to attempt to incorporate the "wild vitality" of amateur writing into the "artistic legitimacy" track defined and controlled by professional fields, thereby embracing new phenomena in form while implicitly maintaining the authority of one's own cultural capital and re-establishing the rules of the game in essence. This study provides an analytical framework based on Bourdieu's field theory for understanding the dynamic game of literary production order in the digital age.(摘要:本文旨在分析以专业作家、批评家及文学期刊为核心的传统文学场域,在面对“素人写作”现象冲击时所采取的话语策略与合法性重构实践。研究发现,传统场域通过四种核心话语策略——“价值归因与收编”、“边界勘定与区隔”、“技术祛魅与专业规训”、“生态忧思与体系捍卫”——来应对“经验合法性”的挑战。这些策略共同作用,试图将素人写作的“野性活力”纳入由专业场域所定义和掌控的“艺术合法性”轨道,从而在形式上包容新现象的同时,在实质上完成对自身文化资本权威的隐性维护与游戏规则的重新确立。本研究为理解数字时代文学生产秩序的动态博弈提供了一个基于布迪厄场域理论的分析框架。) This is also a fundamental task and has also utilized AI within a reasonable range.(这同样是一个基础性的工作, 同样在合理范围内使用到了AI。)
