“转眼繁华等水泡":《行过洛津》的历史叙事
The Prosperity has Come to Naught in No Time:A Historical Narration of Xing Guo Luo-jin
Abstract
[中文摘要] 本文主要讨论施叔青近年来着力的文学工程——一台湾三部曲之第一部《行过洛津》。作者力求通过庶民百姓视角来建构台湾历史,与那些以帝王将相、大家族变迁的宏大叙事来建构历史的作品大有区别。本文探讨施叔青作品中众多小人物的汇聚描写象征了什么,颠覆了什么,再现了历史发展中常被史书忽略不计的那些躲在历史暗影里的真实是什么。[英文摘要] This paper focuses on the novel Xing Guo Luo-jin,the first of the"Trilogy of Taiwan",a literature project on which Shi Shuqing exerts herself in recent years.Trying to build up the history of Taiwan through the viewing angle of the common persons,the novel is rather different from the writings describing the tribe changes of the nobilities.This paper discusses in Shi Shuqing's works what the mass portrayal of the unimportant persons indicates,what it has toppled and what truths often ignored by historical records it has revealed.
