Chapter 22: The Jade Bracelet (2)
Wang Jiuqian then put down the blood-red book on the cover and said, "Although, the subject of "Literary Theory" looks very messy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but in fact, there is still a clear way to reason. No matter how lofty the terms may seem, they are derived from the theories in the book "The Mirror and the Lamp: Romantic Literary Theory and the Critical Tradition" published in 1953 by M.H. Abrams, a master of modern and contemporary literary theory. ”
"According to the theory in M.H. Abrams's The Mirror and the Lamp, all literary theories are actually divided into four aspects, namely, the world, the reader, the writer, the work, and the relationship between these elements......"
Wang Jiuqian explained all the way, and he didn't need to read a book, just by memory, he could explain a book of "Literary Theory" thoroughly. In the first semester of my freshman year, "Literary Theory" was actually only half a book. And Wang Jiuqian was careless, and even the next semester's course was partly taught.
Mingyu and a few other girls, after listening to it, felt that the originally extremely abstract and complicated literary theory was actually not so difficult. After the overall knowledge structure is sorted out, there are some strange professional terms, and the meaning does not seem to be so deep. It was as if the clouds had lifted the sun, the fog had dispersed, and the eyes were suddenly clear.
Even Wen Xiufan felt that the knowledge of literary theory in his mind suddenly became clear. I can't help but feel a little admiration in my heart. Her background is not as good as Wang Jiuqian, her father died early, but she was raised by her mother alone. Moreover, the mother does not have much education and does not have a high income. The family is extremely poor. It can only make ends meet.
In order to let Wen Xiufan have a good future, his mother is also like Wang Jiuqian's parents, except for studying, she is not allowed to do anything. If there is a slight difference, it is that Wang Jiuqian's parents allow Wang Jiuqian to read some extracurricular books in addition to studying, while Wen Xiufan is not allowed to read anything except for the textbooks issued by the school and various volumes.
Wen Xiufan's painstaking study is far more profound than that of Wang Jiuqian. Moreover, Wen Xiufan knows that he is not a person with high talents. Her memory, and logical analysis skills, are only in the middle and upper ranks at best. She knows how hard she has worked, and she knows that it is because of this hard work that she has achieved today's results.
Therefore, Wen Xiufan sometimes has always had a kind of envy and admiration for people with relatively high talents. Now, although Wang Jiuqian's overall score is a little lower than him. However, she also knew through Mingyu how much money Wang Jiuqian had earned in the past two months!
She understands very well that her grades are higher than Wang Jiuqian, not because of talent. It's because he spends more time on this than Wang Jiuqian, who reads idle books all day long.
Therefore, after Wang Jiuqian finished talking about his understanding of literary theory, several girls felt that the harvest was not small, Wen Xiufan bit his lip and asked Wang Jiuqian: "Classmate Wang, I heard Mingyu say that you have read a lot of books. Presumably, your deep understanding of literary theory has something to do with the fact that you have read so many books, right?"
The discipline of literary theory is too abstract, and some theories still need a large number of concrete examples in order to have a clearer understanding. ”
"And what book do you read the most?"
"The ...... the most read" Wang Jiuqian thought about it for a while, and replied decisively: "Online novels!"
"Web novel?" several people were surprised. Judging from Wang Jiuqian's level of knowledge and compulsion, he has to list at least a few world classics and the works of several writers who have won the Nobel Prize in Literature. The more remote the name, the better, the more romantic the country, the better, what Milan Kundera, Duras, Haruki Murakami, all have to be in the back row......
Even if Wang Jiuqian said some extremely famous martial arts or romance novels that have been remade many times, it will not surprise a few people like this. But what the hell is an online novel? Too many people treat it as text garbage. Wang Xueba would actually like this?
Wen Xiufan was surprised for a moment, and asked with some hesitation: "Why is it an online novel?"
Wang Jiuqian smiled: "Don't be so surprised, right? I just said that I read the most online novels, but it is the truth." ”
"If you use the literary theory I just talked about. No matter which work, in fact, it is inseparable from the world, readers, writers, and works, and the correlation of several factors. ”
"Today's online articles are no longer the bottomless chaos at the beginning. Now that there is so much social pressure and so much information, the function of deconstructing and analyzing the world carried by novels and literature has gradually been replaced by other information media. For example, chicken soup for the soul. ”
"What people like is some relaxation under pressure. This is what literary theory calls the world, what it calls the background. The world is changing, and so is the zeitgeist. From the group to the individual awakening. Therefore, the work has shifted from exploring universal values to focusing on personal feelings. ”
In this context, the writer has changed from a prophet to a dreamweaver. But in essence, there is no distinction between superior and inferior, and who stipulates that the work of analyzing people should have a higher status than the works of satisfying people?"
"If a work is written with bitterness and hatred, it is estimated that even the author himself will feel in a bad mood. Because the author himself is the first reader. Therefore, the more the work is written, the more refreshing it is, and the longer it is written, it is inevitable. ”
And everybody likes to read such texts. The level of acceptance is high. Therefore, the online article seems vulgar, but in fact it is the requirement of the times. Today's level is not high, or because the development time is short. Presumably, in the future, while being cool, it will also be nutritious......"
Moreover, the era after will inevitably be the Internet age. In a few decades, it is estimated that online literature will be the mainstream of literature. ”
The girls looked at each other as they listened, something the professors had never said. Most professors still scoff at online articles. Although they have also watched various film and television dramas adapted from online texts, they still don't think that online texts can be compared with classic works.
At this time, they had to admit that what Wang Jiuqian said made sense.
Whether it is showing muscles or showing IQ, it is the charm of men. It's easy to stir up a woman's hormones. Wen Xiufan, who provoked this topic, lost his mind for a while, and felt that his pattern was still a little smaller. It turned out that Wang Jiuqian, who had never been in deep contact, seemed to be a little tall in her eyes.
While he was talking, Mingyu's mobile phone rang, and a call came in.
