Creative Writing as a Method:Transformation of Contemporary Literature Research in the Context of Integrated Media
Creative writing is often viewed as a form of artistic expression rather than an aca-demic path.As an exploratory mindset or research perspective,creative writing can drive the trans-formation of contemporary literary studies,prompting researchers to reassess literary creation,literar-y theory,literary criticism,and literary history in the context of multimedia.Creative writing advo-cates for innovation,creativity,and the spirit of originality,breaking down the barriers between tra-ditional genres,disciplines,and media.It exhibits characteristics of cross-genre,interdisciplinary,and cross-media,facilitating the creation of"crossover"works.Creative writing introduces elite lit-erary creation into the realm of popular cultural production,expanding narrative pathways in multi-media,highlighting the dynamic nature of literature,reshaping the aesthetic value of works,and ad-vancing contemporary literary theory.It invigorates literary criticism,fostering increased attention from academic,scholarly,and professional critics towards the cultural industry.Creative writing also points to new directions for compiling contemporary literary history by updating compilation theories and structural frameworks,incorporating cross-genre,cross-media,and cross-domain creations into the narrative of literary history,making it more relevant and forward-looking.
