文学性的“跨媒介共生”：媒介融合、电子游戏与御宅族
尹钒宇（Yin Fanyu），林国伟（Lim Kok Wai）
摘要：在跨媒介叙事和融合文化的大背景下，文学性在表现形态和深度拓展上具有无限可能。首先，媒介融合深度影响当代文学并使得广义上的文学性成为可能并无处不在，从“未来史”的角度也使得对文学性的界定可以跳出当前认知的局限；进一步地，文学性与游戏性共生于开放世界电子游戏，加之跨媒介叙事和参与性文化的特性，使得故事讲述的方式彻底改变，故事及其背后的叙事也由受众决定；最后，资深御宅族对文本的阐释与“环状可逆”的时间存在方式促成了在现实层面具有无限可能的“婴儿宇宙”的诞生，标志着在跨媒介的共生中，文学性成为独特且永恒的存在，并深刻作用于现实世界，改变过去与未来。

Title: The Inter-media Symbiosis of Literariness: Media Convergence, Video Games and Otaku
Abstract: Within the grand framework of inter-media storytelling and convergence culture, literariness exhibits boundless possibilities in terms of expressive morphology and the extension of depth. First, media convergence profoundly influences contemporary literature, enabling a broad sense of literariness. A “future history” perspective allows for the definition of literariness to transcend the limitations of current understanding. Furthermore, literariness and gameplay could coexist symbiotically in open-world video games, coupled with the characteristics of transmedia storytelling and participatory culture, the mode of storytelling undergoes a radical transformation. The story and its underlying narratives are determined by the audience. Finally, the interpretations from otaku, combined with a “circular reversible” mode of temporal existence, facilitate the emergence of an "infant universe" with infinite possibilities in the realm of reality, signaling that within inter-media symbiosis, literariness becomes a unique and enduring presence that profoundly impacts the real world, altering both the past and the future.
