製作霍元甲傳奇：從《近代俠義英雄傳》談起
Legend of Huo Yuanjia: Analysis of "The Biography of Chivalrous Heroes in Modern Times"
摘要
本文旨趣在於，論析民初《近代俠義英雄傳》中的霍元甲是如何被「製造」、「創作」成天津武俠神話。除了主要素材《近代俠義英雄傳》外，本文還從「中文期刊全文數據庫」、「華藝線上圖書館」等電子資料庫中收集了相關期刊論文並納入分析。結果表明，《近代俠義英雄傳》的作者向愷然立基於留學習得的知識及傳統武學的底蘊，從事撰述武術與文學作品。他試圖通過文字話語來提升武術家的定位和價值，進而打破人們對武術的刻板印象。尤其是霍元甲與各國大力士的比賽情節，雖個人之間武藝的切磋，但實質彰顯弱勢民族對外來強大民族的一種反抗與自衛。此乃藉由「虛構」與「事實」的手法拿捏，以塑造民族英雄的時代性。整體而言，向愷然產製「霍元甲」為天津武林神話是成功的，其筆下卓越的技藝身體代表著民族精神與精武主義，足以戰勝各國好手；霍元甲的民族英雄形象贏得了社會各階層的認同。
