The Form, Characteristics and Significance of Original Online Literary Criticism

(Abstract)

Jiang Xiuting

The concept of original online literary criticism is complex, which needs to be defined in terms of authorship, medium, discourse and content, and form. The form of original online literary criticism mainly includes online annotation, multimedia uploading and corporative evaluation, and is driven by a commentary field constituted by network technology, commercial mechanism and management institutions. Compared with traditional literary criticism, original online literary criticism is characterized by three features: hypertextual drift, interactive performance and self-reference. This criticism plays an important role in literary creation, theoretical construction and evaluation system construction, but it also has its own limitations.
