摘要

近年来,中文网络小说作为一种新兴的参与式跨文化故事形式在全球大受欢迎。本研究将计算分析与解释性文本分析相结合,绘制网络小说内容中蕴含的文化特征图,旨在识别全球平台上 4040 部翻译中文网络小说的体裁元素、常用词库和故事主题。分析表明,中国文化、数字文化和类型小说元素在网络小说故事中的混合,促进了国际自助出版领域日益增长的多元化声音。与此同时,网络小说描绘了想象中的中国的各种马赛克,这些马赛克基于当今复杂的中国社会中的文化共享和非共享,超越了根植于共同遗产或官方价值观的 "中国性 "概念,在跨文化故事中放大了亚文化和抵制等不同视角。网络小说见证了中国的文化外延和数字实力在一种新的故事形式中的融合,但本研究认为,其文化生产仍被束缚在一个物质过程中,在这个过程中,无边界的数字文化与平台化出版和政府控制的强加边界发生了碰撞。

Mapping globalised Chinese webnovels: Genre blending, cultural hybridity, and the complexity of transcultural storytelling
Recent years have seen a significant surge in the global popularity of Chinese webnovels as an emerging form of participatory transcultural storytelling. This research combines computational and interpretive textual analysis to map the cultural features embedded in webnovel content, aiming to identify the genre elements, common lexicon, and story themes of 4040 translated Chinese webnovels on global platforms. The analysis shows the hybridisation of Chinese cultures, digital cultures, and genre fiction elements in webnovel storytelling, contributing to the growing spectrum of diverse voices in international self-publishing. Simultaneously, webnovels depict a varied mosaic of imagined China, based on both cultural sharing and nonsharing within today's complex Chinese society and beyond the notion of ‘Chineseness’ rooted in common heritage or official values, amplifying diverse perspectives like subcultures and resistances in transcultural storytelling. While webnovels bear witness to China's cultural outreach and digital prowess converging in a new storytelling form, this research posits that their cultural production remains bound within a material process where borderless digital cultures collide with the imposed boundaries of platformed publishing and government control.

期刊介绍: International Journal of Cultural Studies is committed to rethinking cultural practices, processes, texts and infrastructures beyond traditional national frameworks and regional biases. The journal publishes theoretical, empirical and historical analyses that interrogate what culture means, and what culture does, across global and local scales of power and action, diverse technologies and forms of mediation, and multiple dimensions of performance, experience and identity. Dedicated to theoretical and methodological innovation in cultural research, the journal is multidisciplinary in outlook, publishing relevant contributions that integrate approaches from the social sciences, humanities, information sciences and more. International Journal of Cultural Studies publishes original research articles. The journal gives preference to papers that extend existing theory or generate new theory through interpretive engagement with empirical cases. Papers based on single country case-studies should clearly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses for an international readership. The journal does not publish close readings of single texts; but it does consider critical, contextualised readings that similarly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses to the field. International Journal of Cultural Studies regularly publishes special issues on urgent questions in the field as well as on specific regions, industries and practices.
