摘要
网络穿越小说《临高启明》不仅嘲讽了一般的穿越爽文,也体现了一种真正与"主流文学"观念决裂的写作实践。小说的集体写作形式对各种各样的倾向都有所体现,但它不是一部"复调"作品,有清晰的主旋律,更因为各种声音和主旋律的相和或相反,我们才能得到一个完整并复杂的思考对象。小说中的澳宋帝国实际上是在新型君主(政党)领导下,以工业强国为建设目的的政治想象,是在镜像的意义上塑造了"工业党"的意识象征,就像《鲁滨逊漂流记》展示出了早期资产阶级英雄形象。临高穿越众不仅开拓工业,也展开政治实践。他们以富强、进步、安全的工业社会愿景来获得群众的认同,但也意识到技术/工业进步并非能解决一切问题。如何缔造并治理一个大国,如何持续赢得认同、形成共识,以及当技术发展遭遇瓶颈时如何保证社会不走向腐朽、倒退,是值得小说继续探讨的问题。
In addition to deriding other similarly themed novels,time-travel web fiction work-in-progress Venus of Lingao represents an effort to break away from mainstream literature.Despite its collective authorship reflecting different authors’tendencies,it should not be regarded as a piece of"polyphonic"work,because there is a clear main theme that allows us to have an overview on the entire novel.The fictional Aosong Empire is actually a political imagination of industrialization process under the leadership of an enlightened monarch or a political party.It is a mirror image of the consciousness symbol of the"industrial party",akin to early the role played by Robinson Crusoe in demonstrating a bourgeois hero.Besides establishing industries,time-travelers in Venus of Lingao bring along modern political practices.They gain popular support by selling the vision of a wealthy,progressive and secure industrialized society,yet they are aware of the fact that technology and industrial progress do not hold answer to everything.How to establish and govern a big power,the ways to win support and build consensus,as well as the mechanism guarding against corruption and regression when technological development encounters bottleneck,are interesting questions the novel should explore in the future.
