摘要

正如最近的阅读理论家所指出的那样,随着作者/读者、创作者/用户之间的界限变得模糊,数字化催生了参与式文化。虽然研究的重点是读者的作用不断扩大,但很少有人批评当代作家如何应对自己的权威受到侵蚀。本文在这种背景下探讨了珍妮特·温特森(Jeanette Winterson) 2000年的小说《权力之书》(The Powerbook),并指出这部小说描绘了合作创作的危险,并预先警告说,数字化迫使作者将权威和权力让与承担作家立场的读者。对温特森文本的研究通常认为,这部小说促进了民主,甚至女权主义的作者观念。然而,本文驳斥了这些说法,因为主人公禁止她的合作者承担平等的作者角色。霍尔展示了《权力书》是如何预见当代作者的有限性和去中心化的,这有助于我们理解为什么21世纪的作者担心数字化创造了强大的读者。

“Nothing Is Solid. Nothing Is Fixed”: Participatory Culture and Collaborative Authorship in Jeanette Winterson’s The Powerbook
As recent reading theorists have noted, digitization has given rise to participatory culture, as the boundaries between author/reader, creator/user have blurred. While studies have focused on the expanding role of the reader, few have critiqued how contemporary writers respond to their eroding authority. This article explores Jeanette Winterson’s 2000 novel The Powerbook within this context and suggests that the novel depicts the dangers of collaborative authorship and forewarns that digitization forces authors to concede authority and power to readers who assume writerly positions. Studies on Winterson’s text have typically argued that the novel promotes democratic, and even feminist, notions of authorship. However, this article refutes these claims as the protagonist prohibits her collaborator from assuming an equal authorial role. Hall demonstrates how The Powerbook foresees contemporary authorship as limited and de-centered, which helps us understand why twenty-first century authors fear that digitization has created empowered readers.
