The Generation of"Writer"Identity and the Emergence of New Chinese Literature
"Who is a writer"and"what is a writer"were not self-evident questions,and they were related to a set of identities and a system of values intentionally constructed by the advocates of the New Chinese Literature of the May Fourth period.Through the change of designations from authors to creators and from literati to writers,as well as the emphasis of the modern literary world on transcendent emotions and modem knowledge,writers were assigned the social functions of"sensitizing the readers"and"improving the country".The creation and determination of the"writer"depended on the"invention"of the modern readers and the promotion of the modern literary mechanism.Modern"writers"had multiple identities such as newspaper editors and literary critics,and harbored the values of"enlightenment"and"salvation",facilitating the modern transformation of the literary creation subject.The generation and shaping of the identity of"writer"reflected the internal logic of the occurrence of New Literature,and also provide an effective way to reflect on the current viewpoint of writers.
