Communication as Shared Existence, Dasein as Co-being: A Review of Communication Communities in Fiction

Yang Liuqing

Abstract: Communication Communities in Fiction systematically traces the theoretical trajectory of "communication community" through interdisciplinary approaches, unveiling its ontological significance via literary criticism. The study examines three constitutive dimensions: presuppositional analysis demonstrates how transcendental humanity underpins community formation, evidenced by ethical choices in Shakespearean romances; mediatic exploration deciphers the dual mechanisms of linguistic and digital communication, revealing through Purity the erosion of real-world belonging by virtual communities; practical investigation establishes communication acts as constitutive forces, with linguistic failures in Conradian tragedies exposing roots of isolationist crises. The work foregrounds literary language’s unique capacity to build communication communities through fictionality, alterity, and ethical discourse—proposing literary solutions to the crisis of belonging in globalization. Ultimately, it positions fiction as prophetic praxis for a community with a shared future for mankind, marking the theory’s revolutionary shift from methodology to social engagement.

Keywords: Communication Community; Literary Community; Novelistic Hermeneutics; Community with a Shared Future for Mankind; Digital Media

题目：沟通即共同，此在即共在——评《小说中的沟通共同体》

摘要：《小说中的沟通共同体》以跨学科视野系统梳理了“沟通共同体”的理论脉络，通过文学批评揭示其本体论价值。该书从预设维度论证先验人性对共同体的奠基作用，以莎士比亚传奇剧中爱与宽恕的伦理选择为文本案例；从媒介维度解析传统与数字媒介的双重沟通机制，通过《纯洁》呈现虚拟共同体对现实归属感的消解；从实践维度阐明沟通行为对共同体的建构功能，借康拉德悲剧中的语言失效案例揭示隔离性危机的根源。作者强调文学语言通过虚构性、差异性与伦理言说构建沟通共同体的独特价值，为全球化时代的归属感缺失提供文学解决方案。全书最终指向小说对人类命运共同体的预言性实践功能，彰显了沟通共同体理论从方法论到社会实践的革命性意义。
