由於歷來有關《文學雜誌》與《現代文學》的研究成果已呈豐碩,相形之下,對於栽種在兩者之中的革新號《筆匯》卻甚少有專文討論,直到近些年學者林瑞明發表了〈《筆匯》的創刊、變革及其影響〉乙文,才令定位一直模糊的《筆匯》得以終結長期只有被「附帶一提」的惡運,而有了清晰的面目和完整的骨架。然而,終究復活過來的《筆匯》,卻也同時引發了多組令人不解的密碼。有鑑於之前的相關論述確實存有太多轉相因襲的論點,提早「模鑄」了我們對《筆匯》的刻板表相,本文擬透過「漣漪與鍊接」、「文壇與政壇」及「消解與裂生」三大主題共九個面相加以重新詮讀,期盼能夠開解出更多不為人知的文學密碼,並且同時藉由比附以上三份佔據當時「反對文化」位置的刊物,以個案研究的形式深入探尋一種形構於「文化場域」裡的「場」中有「場」的現象──俾使不斷有機會去動搖,甚而瓦解文學史書寫之中既存的視角與機制。
As there are lots of research achievements about Literature Journal and Modern Literature, compared with the above two journals, there are few essays discussing about the innovative journal Essay Collection, which is positioned between the two journals. It was not until in recent years, scholar Lin Rui-Ming published the essay "The First Issue, Renovation, and Influence of Essay Collection", can the vaguely positioned Essay Collection end the misfortune of only being mentioned incidentally for a long time, and begin to have a clear face and a complete framework. However, the reviving Essay Collection causes many groups of puzzling codes at the same time. In consideration that in previous relevant discourses there are too many similar opinions, which shaped our inflexible image on Essay Collection too early. Through three main themes of "Ripples and Links", "Literary World and Political Circle", and "Decomposition and Splitting Birth" and nine face images, the essay re-interprets the journal, aiming at decoding more unknown literary codes. Meanwhile, through comparing the above three journals that occupied the position of "Opposing Culture", the essay adopts the mode of individual case research to explore a kind of "field in field" phenomenon constructed in "Cultural Field" , so as to have an opportunity to shake and even collapse already existing viewing angle and mechanism written in literature history
