About This Novel

With the advent of the era of visual culture, the literary and art world is experiencing a "war" between "pictures" and "literature." Literature based on language and characters is squeezed and challenged by "image hegemony." Some scholars even pessimistically lamented: "The dusk of literature has arrived" and "literature has come to an end." In order to respond to the above-mentioned cultural phenomena, this book starts from the perspective of visual culture and selects many hot literary phenomena at the turn of the century, such as "pictorialization of literary journals", "picture books", "film and television adaptations of novels" and "new generation", "post-70s", "Shanghai nostalgia", "body writing", "petty bourgeoisie writing", "beauty literature", etc., To comprehensively consider the survival scene of Chinese literature at the turn of the century from both aesthetic and communication perspectives. By placing literature in a literary field where many powers and sights are intertwined, it highlights the hidden or blind relationship between desire, power, consumption, media and literature, thus revealing the richness and complexity of literature and helping readers clearly grasp the overall appearance of literature at the turn of the century.
