本質待定：當代臺灣年度散文選「擬典律」的另一種可能－以《十字路口－台灣散文2015》為例
Essence-to-be-Determined: Another Possibility of ＂Establishing the Canons＂ in Contemporary Taiwanese Prose Selections-A Case Study of The Crossroads (十字路口——台灣散文2015)
摘要
自臺灣解嚴後以來，隨政治開放，社會邁向多元發展，「文變染乎世情，興廢系乎時序」，社會改變必然影響到文學、出版之不同轉變。此一政經變化，促使臺灣現代散文選本出版之發達，多種散文選本選文各有不同的文學批評觀，呈現了隱性的「多元對話」。臺灣散文研究相對小說、現代詩貧乏，唯其選本出版卻較其他兩種文類更多，為此一文學現象增添特殊性，顯示了當代臺灣散文選本的重要性。本文擬從《十字路口——台灣散文2015》年度散文選的個案研究，先從編者選文取向、選本的選文作第一序的梳理、比較，以其與《九歌104年散文選》之異同，分析其「擬典律」的內涵，並借此一研究成果進行第二序的討論，說明兩種選本的對話關係，實為當代臺灣散文選本「多元對話」其中之一的模式，並以「本質待定」的文學觀念嘗試揭示現代散文選本的深層意義。

Since after the martial law being lifted in 1987 and the subsequent political reformation, Taiwan has been benefited from a rapid development in various aspects. As Liu Xie stated in his The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons (which generally regarded as the first comprehensive work of literary criticism in Chinese), ＂The change of writing style is influenced by the ways of the world, and the realm of the literature rises and falls with the change of time.＂ -Social changes always impact on the development of both literature and publication. In the case of Taiwan, the political and economic transformation has driven the flourish publications of prose collections. With different literary perspectives and aesthetics, various prose anthologies have shaped a hidden landscape of ＂Polydialogue＂ (多元對話). Regardless the rich and numerous studies focusing on fictions and modern poetry, the publications of selected prose writings actually surpassed the two previous genres, which highlighted the importance and particularity of the prose collections in contemporary Taiwanese literature. This article discusses the meaning of the literary term ＂Establishing the Canons＂ (擬典律) in the first four sections, by analyzing the selected works and the selection preferences in The Crossroad: Selected Prose in Taiwan in 2015 (十字路口——台灣散文2015), and comparing the volume with the Collected essays 2015 (九歌104年散文選). The remaining sections aim at illustrating that the dialogical relationship between the two collections can found a practical model of ＂Polydialogue＂ among the prose anthologies in contemporary Taiwanese literature, and revealing the significance of the prose selections with the literary concept of ＂Essence-to-be-determined＂.
