Literary Criticism of New Media as the “Digital Humanities 2.0”

(Abstract)

Shan Xiaoxi and Wang Yingzi

As the “Digital Humanities 2.0,” the new literary criticism should have two basic attributes, namely intelligentization and digital humanism. The intelligently oriented criticism method applies various digital technologies, especially artificial intelligence, to practice under the premise of accepting artistic criticism to be scientific. Digital humanism refers to the ideological patterns, values and core evaluation criteria. Its basic connotation is to place people in a “hybrid” world created by the dual practice of “translation” and “purification,” and a digital ecological environment where all things are equal and interconnected, and to think about and determine the way of human existence and pursue the ideal life of human beings with an open and diverse perspective of coexistence.
