Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser is a typical trans-medial text and belongs to the sub-genre of"theatre-novel."The nov-el not only contains rich theatrical references,but also integrates a lot of theatrical texts and constructs a complete theatrical ecology in-cluding actors and audiences.Through the trans-theatrical narration of theatre,the novel reveals the structure of feelings of American society characterized by consuming culture and theatrical style at the end of the 19th century.This structure challenges the traditional concept of the self and provides a new perspective to examine the self.Dreiser achieves the innovation and development of literary art by integrating the realistic novel as high art with the theatrical performance as popular culture which stimulates readers'interest and en-riches their aesthetic experience.
