Abstract

The materiality of geographical environments that constitute space, and literary space as both a product and a mode of material production, profoundly influence social formations and historical evolution. In the era of globalization, conducting an integrative historical critique of literary geography and digital space, and exploring the convergence of space, its representation, and the world system, is of particular importance. As fundamental modes of human existence and vehicles for narrative, time and space continually shape social structures and cultural imaginaries. All literature is rooted in specific socio-historical conditions and traditions. Taking Chinese XunGen Literature as its field, this paper focuses on the New Transformation in a Mountain Village in the age of AI. It conducts a historicized analysis through three dimensions: transformation of geographical space, reconstruction of place consciousness, and dissolution of boundary narratives. By adopting a material turn, the study re-examines contemporary nostalgia, revealing the critical spatiotemporal imagination enacted through bodily practice and media narratives. Through an exploration of technological subjectivity that connects narrative time, ethics/politics, and digital utopia, it proposes new theoretical pathways for rebuilding a sense of place and addressing the predicaments of modernity.
