The Gender Perspective of Research on the Genre of Online Literature

(Abstract)

Xiao Yingxuan

From the perspective of text form, the protagonists of different genders, the perspective of substitution, and the setting of spatiotemporal bodies will directly affect the evolution path of genre writing. From the perspective of the genre production mechanism and readers’ expectations, the different initial state of the development of channels catering to male and female readers has produced different classification logic for different genres, and finally developed a genre identification system that appears to have “the same destination” but has “different paths.” From the perspective of social functions and economic models, the online media, gender consciousness and economic autonomy have not only made it possible for women to write in groups in the internet era, but also establish their own mass economic model.
