摘要
当代中国的国民阅读生态出现一些让人忧虑的困境,人们的阅读越来越趋向"快"、"泛"、"短"、"浅"、"碎"。导致这些困境的原因复杂而多样,其中数字化的电子阅读是一个值得关注的问题。如今,各种电子装置不但为阅读提供了新的文本媒介,导致了从纸质文本向电子文本和超文本的根本转变,而且深刻改变了人们的阅读行为和习性,建构了一种全新的阅读范式。其后果之一便是以超级注意力为认知特征的浏览式阅读大行其道,而曾经流行的以深度注意力为认知特征的沉浸式阅读日趋衰微。随着中国社会文化和科技的进步,数字化的电子阅读势不可挡,但这把双刃剑的积极和消极面应同样引起我们的高度关注。如果说数字化的电子阅读是"狼来了",那么问题的关键不是拒"狼"于千里之外,而是如何了解"狼性"而实现"与狼共舞"。面对电子阅读的压倒性优势,努力在读者群体(尤其是青少年)中培育、维持并强化沉浸式阅读行为及习性,进而维系阅读生态的平衡,应是走出当下阅读困境的有效路径之一。
There are some unfortunate developments in popular reading in contemporary China:People's reading is becoming ever 'faster,' 'broader,' 'shorter,''shallower,'and more fragmentary.The reasons for this are complex and varied,but digital e-reading is certainly one of them.At present,different electronic gadgets not only offer a new textual medium,leading to the fundamental transition from paper to electronic texts and hypertexts and the consequent deep-rooted change in reading behavior and habits;they also construct a totally new reading paradigm.One result is the growing popularity of'scanning,' with cognition marked by hyper attention,at the expense of previous immersive reading marked by deep attention.As China's social culture and technology develop,digital e-reading is unstoppable,but we need to pay close attention to both the positive and the negative side of this double-edged sword.If we cry'wolf'over digital e-reading,the key to solving the problem is not to keep the wolf a thousand miles away but to understand its nature and'dance with the wolves.'Faced with the overwhelming strengths of e-reading,endeavoring to cultivate,maintain and strengthen immersive reading behavior and habits among the reading population,especially the young,and thereby maintaining the balance of the reading ecology,should be one effective way of dealing with the straits in which reading finds itself.
