| 摘要: | 「城市書寫」是眾多現代文學流派中的一支，其特色是結合城市學的理論進行文學書寫。透過該主題的探討，可以反映出當代城市裡的多元人文風貌。本論文以城市學裡的「空間」理論為基礎，進一步探討作家筆下書寫而下的八、九○年代臺北「生活空間」的內涵，以了解作家所關心的課題與作品裡的社會關懷。
本論文先就城市發展、城市學與城市空間理論進行整理，進一步為主題的「背景」探討。「背景」的探討，包含了時間與空間：先以「時間」層面了解臺北城市「生活空間」文學書寫的發展歷程；再由「空間」層面耙梳八、九○年代的政治、經濟與社會情況探討。透過外緣研究，進而深化並理解作家「文本」裡的內在涵義。
在「文本」的內在研究裡，筆者先就「城市地標」的文學書寫進行探究。臺北是全臺的經濟與政治中心，同時也是全臺的交通樞紐與藝文重鎮。筆者分別茲舉各一代表性地標的文學書寫進行研究，期待透過作家對「城市地標」的書寫以了解時代風華。再由作家「文本」裡的城市「生活空間」進行細部探討，包括：食、衣、住、行、育、樂，六個領域中，逐一探究該八、九○年代裡的城市生活。此外，該時期作家「文本」裡有大量的情慾流動，是八、九○年代的文學書寫特色，筆者另立專章討論。最後再針對作家「文本」的書寫策略提出討論，以明白作家創作的意圖。
藉由本論文的研究主題，加以釐清八、九○年代臺北城市「生活空間」文學書寫的特色與內涵。更進一步從作家「文本」裡的城市意象探討，真正傳達出作家的人文關懷與臺北城市精神風貌。
"City writing" is one of many modern literary genres, which is characterized by applying urbanology to literary writing. Through the discussion of a theme, it is hoped that the multi-cultural styles of a contemporary city can be reflected. Based on the "space" theory in urbanology, this paper explores the connotation of "living space" written by the writers in the 1980s and the 1990s so as to understand the issues that those writers were concerned about and their care for the society.
Using the theories of urban development, urbanology and urban spaces, this paper first discusses the "background" of the theme. The discussion of "background" includes two aspects, namely time and space. The author first uses "timelines" to understand the development process of literary writing of "living space" in Taipei City and then fills in the "spaces" with their respective political, economic and social situations in the 1980s and the 1990s. Through this study on the “external” edges, the author then deepens his understanding of the “inherent” meaning of the "text" authored by a particular writer.
In the study of the "text" of the writers, the author first explores the literary writing about the "city landmarks." Taipei is not only the economic and political center of Taiwan, but also the hub for transportation and arts. For each "city landmark," the author picks up a representative literature book and then make an in-depth study on it, hoping to first understand the city life in general in the 1980s and the 1990s and then the details of the "living spaces" in terms of food, clothing, living, traveling, education, and recreation. It is meanwhile found that love and lusts are narrated in many of the books written in the 1980s and the 1990s. Considered as an important feature in the literary writing of the times, the author sets up a separate chapter to discuss this topic. Finally, every writer's writing strategy is discussed to understand his or her intention.
In summary, this paper first clarifies the characteristics and connotation of "living spaces" of Taipei City described by writers in the 1980s and the 1990s and then further explores the "text" or “city imagery” in their books so as to accurately convey those writers' humanistic care and spirit toward Taipei City. |
