Abstract
The situational writing of cyber literature displays three typical modes: the spatial sights, the virtual reality, and the locality narrative. Despite their differences, they all tend to shape and characterize through such elements as position, site, space, and visuality. These tendencies and features distinguish cyber writing from conventional literary writing and lead to changes in literature. Specifically, in terms of the relationship between literature and reality, literature begins to be transformed from imitating reality into augmenting reality. Conventional writing, based on imitation, pursues truth behind its fictive surface, while cyber writing is virtual in nature despite its surface verisimilitude. In terms of extrinsic aesthetic quality, literature enacts a turn from temporal art to spatial art. The situational writing of cyber literature highlights the visualilty inliterature, creates a juxtaposed spatial structure and constructs a mobile positioning site.
