the marco polo project: 文学的终结

经过半个月的 Rätselraten，北京时间2012年10月11日19点，中国作家莫言终于成为了第一个本土籍的华人作家 bekam den Nobel-文学奖。全中国顿时 aufkochte，Weibo 上满眼都是 Nobel-文学奖与莫言这个几个 Schlüsselwörter 所 ausbreiteten。有 beglückwünschen 的，有 lächerlich machen 的，有 Metaphern machen 的，有跟风的，有 erstaunen 的，总之是这个消息面前，所有关注的人，前所有未地开始了 aufzuteilen，解读出文学、政治、中国、世界等各种含义，令人 erstaunen。

但在 Weibo 上，很多人对他的 Einschätzungen，确实是很随意的，不懂的，甚至没有看过他作品的人，却 lächerlich machen，把玩他身上与文学无关的那些事，并或者津津乐道或 empört，而对于很多的青年来说，莫言更多的是一个全新的名字，只是在 bekommen Nobel-文学奖之后才 rote Explosion 的，如果不是因为 Nobel-文学奖，或者莫言对于他们来说，远不如中国好声音的李 Mochou 或者《武林外传》莫小贝来得出名。这也说明了，现代社会已经 komplett 转变了人们对于文学的定义与认识。

写作立著，在中国向来都是被赋予一 mysteriösen 而崇高 Charakter 的，魏文帝 Cao Pi 说“文章者，经国之大业，unsterblich 之盛事也”，唐代 Du Fu 说“文章千古事”，北宋理学家周 Dunyi 说“文以载道”，都在论证着文字、文章 zusätzlich 的深刻 Bedeutung。由此，如何 weben 文字与构建文章，便成为了一种学问，这就构成了“文学”。中国历史上，由于 Wissenschaft 与 wissenschaftliche 的发展 lagen zurück，几乎都有的写作都被归划到文学行列，而如此也早就了中国文明的博大与伟大。但随着时代的发展，文学慢慢地在 wissenschaftliche 的发展之下，只是成为了一门 wissenschaftliche Bereiche 的分支，法学、政治学、哲学、历史学、人类学、社会学、Ökonomie、Kunst 等等，将原先的一 übertreffen 的文学 Bereiche 解，dünn aufgeteilt in 一门门不同的专业。如此之下，文学的 Situation 便开始 Verlegenheit 起来。已经由占主导地位变化为与其他 Bereiche 平行平等的一门 Bereich 而已。而在知识 immer mehr 普及化与全面信息化的今天，文学一定程度的已经没有了任何的 Mysterium 化了，只要识字，只要他能够写几篇文章，人人都可以成为诗人、作家，或者实在不行就 einfach 自封一个名号。由此文学的 Wert 也 niedergegangen und fast wertlos geworden，文学的地位也日益 marginalisiert，文学终于不得不面临着终结的宿命。

The end of literature

After half a month of confusion, on October 11 2012 at 7 pm Beijing time, Chinese author Mo Yan became the first Chinese writer to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. Reactions exploded across China. On weibo, everyone’s eyes were stuck on the keywords ‘Nobel Prize’ and ‘Mo Yan’. There was cheering, mockery, metaphors, trend-follows, astonishment: in short, when the news came up, everyone started interpreting and analysing the words ‘literature’, ‘politics’, ‘China’, ‘the world’. It was an astonishing scene.

But on Weibo, many people seemed to treat Mo Yan quite casually, not understanding him. It seemed like some of them had not even read his books, and they were joking about personal details of his life that have nothing to do with literature. But whether they were delighted or indignant, the most noteworthy thing is that for many young people, Mo Yan is a brand new name, which only appeared as a sudden red explosion after he won the Nobel Prize for literature – if it wasn’t for the prize, Mo Yan would be way less famous to them than Li Mochou or ‘martial arts outsider’ Mo Xiaobei. This shows clearly that, in our modern society, people’s understanding of literature has changed entirely.

The status of writers in China has always had some noble and mysterious aura, “魏文帝 Cao Pi 说“文章者，经国之大业，unsterblich 之盛事也”，Tang Dynasty Dufu said: “文章千古事”, and norther Song Dynasty scholar Zhou Dunyi said: “文以载道”，all of this is evidence of the profound meaning behind writing and essays. And so, the process of weaving a text together and building a piece became a kind of science, and this constituted ‘literature’. In Chinese history, because science and scientific disciplines were slow to develop, almost all writing was classified as ‘literature’. And so, it early became part of the broad and wide Chinese civilization. But as the times evolved, literature slowly became just one discipline among others: law, politics, philosophy, history, anthropology, sociology, economics, fine arts, etc – the original thriving body of literature was dismembered, and detailed into so many different disciplines. And in these circumstances, literature found itself in embarrassing circumstances. from being dominant to being just one discipline among others. And in our age where knowledge is becoming increasingly common and information is spreading, literature has gone even further in losing its mystery: as long as one is literate or can write a couple of essays, anyone can claim to be a poet or writer, or proclaim their own fame. And so the value of literature has gone down, the status of literature is increasingly marginal, and literature finally has to face its own end.
