摘要

《愫細怨》是個以女性為主要角色的香港故事，故事描述女性在男女關係之間的矛盾態度，以及努力追尋自我的過程。在情節的安排上，施叔青不斷地換置男女關係中的權力主導者，透過女性對肉體的慾望使得男女關係在故事中更加複雜。施叔青筆下的香港總是充滿幻化淋漓的氛圍，《愫細怨》正是敘述一個香港的都市女性在物慾橫流之中不斷掙扎，卻又極度想要從中掙脫的故事，描繪都市新女性對情感慾望的矛盾。香港受到多元化、現代化的元素刺激，儼然成為一個小型地球村，裏面充滿形形色色的人、事、物，這樣的環境面貌全是殖民歷史使然。後殖民論述中常用西方/男性/殖民者與東方/女性/被殖民者的二元對立結構去討論殖民文化現象，性是一種象徵，柔弱被動的女性象徵被殖民者，而強悍掌有大權的男性則是殖民者的化身，殖民者所建立起的霸權中心，也呼應了在既定的兩性關係中男主女從的狀態。具被殖民者特色的女性受制於男權，在男性的殖民下得不到自由，也沒有自主意識，隨著時代的變遷，女性對這樣達不到平衡的狀態開使產生厭倦、反抗的現象，而父權式的霸權殖民在世界政局中也逐漸消退。因此，本論文便是要以《愫細怨》這充滿隱喻的文章，透過性別關係與政治隱喻的論述，探討香港的夾縫身份在殖民結束後的處境與意義。

＂SusieYuan＂ is a Hong-Kong story based on woman character. It described the contradiction of women in the relationship between man and woman, as well as the process of find self-affirmation. For the storyline, Shu-qing Shi keeps on changing the leadership between man and woman in order to complicate the relations with the opposite sex by the sensual desire of women. Hong-Kong decribed by Shu-qing Shi as a place filled with fantasized atmosphere. ＂SusieYuan＂ is a portrayal of modern Hong-Kong women who face the conflict between sensual desire and struggle free from it. Modern Hong-Kong is surrounded by various types of culture and modernization, which are all caused by the history of colonial era. This study proposed a viewpoint that women in ＂SusieYuan＂ are as colonized by men without freedom or self-awareness. With changes of times, women are now tired of this colonized status and start to fight back the unbalanced relationship between men and women, while the patriarchy hegemony recessed from international politics. Hence, ＂SusieYuan＂ is trying to probe the role of Hong-Kong after the transfer of sovereignty by adopting the metaphor of sexual relationships.
