論許達然散文的作品精神與藝術風格

許達然是臺灣戰後重要的散文家，散文主題多半圍繞鄉土與歷史，批判現實。他關注被忽視和歧視的對象、弱勢的小人物和團體，批判社會現象，被殖民的困境、經濟制度的剝削、階級的壓榨和社會的兇殘等。文本中呈現受到社會影響後的「我」，如何書寫和我有關的別人、和我有關的社會。「我」省思自己的存在，同時觀察別人的存在。散文中的「我」肩負社會責任感，在散文中拆解文字的形、音、義，用相關字詞延伸出更深的文化意蘊。許達然書寫家鄉臺南，融合了真實記憶的念舊情感，個人的小歷史透過地景的、空間的折射，尋求地方生命力的再現。許達然將地方書寫轉換成臺灣的縮影，記錄文化的演繹累積，用鄉土的變遷折射歷史的滄桑。從個人到社會，離開家鄉愈遠，關注的議題也愈廣闊。他以有情之筆，帶領讀者思考和批判，他的關懷從個人的呼吸轉移到社會與歷史。本文將聚焦於許達然的散文，考察文本中的「我」如何以深情的眼光，心繫臺灣，分析作品精神與藝術風格的轉變。

It extends deeper cultural meanings via relevant words and terms by dismantling text forms, sounds and meanings in his essays, In Wen-hsiung Hsu’s hometown Tainan, there was a nostalgic feeling that combined real memories.
