The Origin and Development of the"Non-fiction"Theory:From Import to Localization,Binary Opposition to Pluralistic Coexistence
In the early 1980's,with the introduction of the concept of"non-fiction novel",the critics published a series of articles,trying to use this exotic product for the development of local documentary literary theory,leading to a series of questions--what is"non-fiction novel",what the relationship between reportage,documentary literature and"non-fiction literature",and whether the term"documentary novel"exists.The theoretical achievements of"non-fiction"in the academic circles are mainly based on the"non-fiction"column opened by People's Literature in 2010.After the concept of"non-fiction"was introduced into China,its theoretical research changed from a single emphasis on the limitation of"non-fiction"to a vassal of reportage and documentary literature theory,and then gradually formed its own school with the help of the trend of popularization.The theory of"non-fiction"has become a common practice in retrospect and innovation.Reorganizing the research results of the"non-fiction"theory at this stage can help understand its connotation and changes more clearly.
