摘要

自從1982年英國首相和中國領導人正式就香港主權問題展開談判以來，「九七政權轉移」這個議題便一直困擾的香港居民；他們擔憂1997會改變香港的過往歷史、現有繁榮及未來發展，在這種擔憂下的種種複雜情緒組成了港人心中的「九七焦慮」。這種強大的焦慮感除了被政權轉移相關具體事件所影響之外，也受港人強烈的都市性格影響極深。
隨著政治事件與社會環境的變化，「九七焦慮」和「都市性格」兩者很快的便在香港居民以及反射其心態的文學作品中，產生有時彼此加成，有時此消彼長的「共振」現象，而這正是橫貫本文的重要中軸。
　　本文擬以「九七焦慮」為觀察主軸，「都市性格」作為輔助視野，從三個層面觀察文學如何反應震央──1997回歸：（一）在「九七議題」成形之初，香港作家如何以文學面對未來可預見的社會變動？在面對不同的政治事件時，文本中所呈顯的「都市性格」及「九七焦慮」，有著什麼樣的互動關係？（二）在一九九七年前後，面對當代香港社會卅政治的巨大變動，香港作家以及居民如何因應政權轉移，其心態及關注的焦點又是為何？（三）回歸至今十三年，面對一切看似「塵埃落定」的香港，作家們是以怎樣的心態看待現今的發展和都市的變遷？又以怎樣的心態在面對未來？香港文學在經歷了這一切風波以後，是否呈現出不同以往的當代風貌？相信這些提問必然是探討香港文學時，不可迴避的重要課題。

Since the negotiation on the issue of sovereignty over Hong Kong between British Prime Minister and the official Chinese leaders started from 1982, Hong Kong handover has plagued Hong Kong residents. They were concerned that Hong Kong handover will change their past history, current economic prosperity and future development. Under this concern, Hong Kong residents’ various complex emotions composed the "1997 Handover Anxiety." This powerful sense of anxiety is not only because of the specific events related to Hong Kong Handover, but it is also affected by Hong Kong residents’ strong urban personalities.
With the political events and the change of societal environment, Hong Kong handover and the urban personalities soon create the resonance phenomenon, and this is the significant central axis in my thesis.
This paper takes the 1997 handover anxiety as the main observation point with urban personalities as a supporting angle, to study how the literature reflect the epicenter, the Hong Kong handover, at three levels: (a) Since the issue, 1997 Hong Kong handover, has started, how do the Hong Kong literature writers face the social changes in the forthcoming future? In the face of various political events, what kind of interaction between 1997 handover anxiety and urban personalities was shown in the text? (b) With the enormous contemporary societal/political changes around 1997, how did the Hong Kong writers and residents respond to 1997 Hong Kong handover, and what were their attitudes and focuses?(c) Thirteen years after Hong Kong handover, Hong Kong seems already settled; How do the writers look at recent development and urban changes? What kind of attitude do they have to face the future? Through all this turmoil, are there any different contemporary styles from the past created in Hong Kong Literature? These issues are so important that they can not be missed when researchers investigate Hong Kong literature.
