摘要
The aesthetic principle of postmodernism in literature is "anything goes". It is illustrated by "double coding", whose point is double itself, meaning holding the popular code in one hand and the elite code in the other, or in Jencks's words, "both elite/popular and new/old". In the field of fiction, the elite code refers to formal experiments chiefly with metafiction, parody, collage, fragmentation, erasure, bifurcating plot, and figure character, whereas the popular code refers to the use or blurring of popular genres, particularly science fiction, gothic novel, detective fiction, western novel, historical fiction, campus novel, sensation novel, and porn fiction.
