摘要

龍瑛宗是少數戰前曾客居花蓮港市的台灣人日語作家之一。他於1941年4月至1942年1月左右調任至台灣銀行花蓮分行，在花蓮蟄居了十個多月之久。因身處後山而讓他無法直接參與台北文壇的活動，但花蓮的地景卻成為龍瑛宗文學中不可或缺的元素。他以異鄉人的身分冷眼靜觀感受當地的地方氛圍，另一方面，因交通不便造成隔絕了他與島都文壇直接互動的機會，但卻讓他更有餘裕耽溺於個人孤獨情緒，任其想像馳騁於其中，進而孕育出深具浪漫主義色彩的杜南遠小說系列。同時，龍瑛宗也見證了1940年代初花蓮港廳的現代化、多元族群的互動關係，以客家人的身分重新審視原住民族的存在，開啟他重新思索審視台灣族群關係的契機。他的到訪亦適逢客家族群的島內第二次移民，讓他有機會深入觀察後山新移民的生活樣貌。移居花蓮雖非他所願，但新的生活環境卻提供他許多書寫創作的新題材，激發他探尋思索文學本質的問題，在文學藝術上作出新的嘗試，繼處女作〈植有木瓜樹的小鎮〉之後，讓他的文學創作的藝術性更趨成熟。本文透過爬梳龍瑛宗花蓮時期的文學活動，探究戰爭時期，後山的地理邊緣位置究竟激發作家怎樣的創作想像，花蓮地景對龍瑛宗文學的功用是什麼？龍瑛宗的地誌書寫為日治時期花蓮留下怎樣的文學想像和歷史記憶？如龍瑛宗這樣的客籍作家的小敘述為我們在建構思考台灣新文學的大敘述時提供怎樣不同的向度。
