From Reading and Interpreting to Reading and Writing Texts
摘要
How do we understand “text” from the perspective of creative writing studies? The relationship between humans and texts constitutes the fundamental situation of being-in-the-world in modern and postmodern times. In the classical era, the right to create texts was held by gods or gifted individuals. With the development of the times, ordinary people have obtained the right to create texts, and the advent of the Internet age has further enhanced the significance of texts in human life. From hermeneutics to interpretive theory, although the reader's interpretive power of texts has increased, it is still not free from the shackles of the “reading-interpreting relationship”. Entering the creative economy era, with the improvement of the public's education level and the enhancement of creative orientation, most people have transformed from illiterates (non-reading listeners without the ability to read) or readers (who can only read but not write) to reader-writers (who can both read and write), and the “pure reader” no longer exists. The situation of texts in the creative era has changed to a “reading-writing relationship”, and the relationship between the subject and the text has become an ontological practical relationship in the sense of generating creative subjects. Texts have become productive public fields, producing “creative authorial subjects” and “creative worlds”.
