The efficiency of modern novel and the pollution of contemporary fiction
Abstract
Abstract:The key characteristic of modern novels may be their ability to produce and mobilise efficient limbic energy. Such ability is distinguished by a contradictory movement between a strong yearning for democracy, which implies hierarchic deconstruction, and an aristocratic transcendentalism, which encourages elitist efficiency. However, as democracy's demand got stronger, elitist efficiency began to tighten to the point where it was impossible to tell the difference between novel and reality. The novel system appears to be continuously losing reverence, while current imagination is declining. As a result, it looks acceptable to address the subject of justifications, the efficiency and influence of novel, and the relationship of such efficiency to mass consumption, the aggravation of democracy's desire, and the everyday life revolution in this research. Keywords: limbic brain, novel’s efficiency, democratic desire, pollution of imagination
