世代、性別與族群交織的成長之路──甘耀明《殺鬼》與《邦查女孩》之比較研究
A Growth Path interwoven with Generations, Genders and Ethnicities：Comparative Literary Studies of Gan Yao – Ming’s Ghost Slayer and The Pangcah Girl
摘要
本論文擬從甘耀明的兩本長篇小說《殺鬼》與《邦查女孩》進行比較，試圖指出甘耀明的兩本小說分別回望台灣歷史上的兩個時代，小說中主人公的成長歷程，乃是回溯台灣主體在成長過程中遭遇的不同困境與發展的可能性，實含有台灣國族寓言的色彩。 成長小說主要討論主角成長歷程中，如何由未知而啟蒙，天真而失落，進而定位自我的過程。《殺鬼》與《邦查女孩》，前者以一九四○年代作為背景，後者以一九七○年代作為背景，並分別以少年成長／少女成長作為主線，主角不同性別的設定，又同時呈現多元族群的景象。是以本論文將以成長小說的內涵作為敘述主軸，並從世代、性別、族群等三個向度切入，作為討論二書成長議題的比較基準。 本論文企圖指出，甘耀明小說中的成長書寫，事實上也帶出台灣不同世代、不同性別、不同族群之間，在成長歷程上所遭遇的難題與寓意，小說主角的遭遇亦是台灣本身經歷成長試煉後的縮影，然而台灣的成長歷程尚未結束，甘耀明重述歷史，實有借鑒歷史，並帶出台灣應該如何朝未來成長前進的期盼。
