歷史暴力與抒情的日常－論郭松棻的「詠史」
Historical violence and lyrical ordinary living: In Guo Sung-Fen's ＂epic poems＂
摘要
郭松棻小說中的「歷史」帶有複雜的意義，而究其緣由，當與作家1970年代初期的保釣運動經驗有關，彼時的郭松棻心慕左翼思潮，憧憬革命的烏托邦與推動歷史演進的絕對精神，並藉此對抗臺灣國民政府的中國近代史詮釋。然而在1980年代郭松棻重回文學創作時，卻對於歷史想像有了更複雜的反思：其筆下小說人物面對歷史任務，往往無力承擔，終而背離了歷史宏圖；究其極，郭松棻所回顧的歷史，其實充滿了暴力與難以言喻的傷痕。然而值得注意的是，在這個巨大的歷史帷幕底下，也充滿了細膩的景物描寫、以及日常生活中的情意－抒情的日常替歷史的暴力輪迴留了後路。本文試圖借鑒陳世驤的「抒情」，但並非探討其文學理論與郭松棻的寫作理念的影響關係，而是從其發聲位置與文學的時間想像切入，探討一種「海外」情境與重鑄史觀的可能。接著討論郭松棻的小說，第一部分從「背離」的情節與歷史傷痕兩方面切入，探討郭松棻如何重新詮釋歷史情境對個人的影響；第二部分則藉由討論郭松棻筆下的民國征戰史，闡釋作家如何面對歷史暴力，並使抒情的日常凝結成救贖的契機。

This paper offers a view of exploring Guo Sung-Fen's historical view and novel writing. Guo Sung-Fen's historical view was complicated because of his experience of Baodiao movement. In the 1970s, Guo was obsessed with leftwing political thought and looked forward to the utopia of revolution, which fortified him against the historical view the ROC government created. However, in the 1980s, when Guo returned to writing, he committed to presenting the disasters in the past. As reviewing the unbearable trauma of history, Guo discovered the lyrical ordinary living to create another way for the historical violence. This paper investigates the special relationship between Chen Shih-hsiang's lyrical tradition and Guo's novel writing. By exploring the gap between Guo' novel writing and his revolution ideal, this paper discusses how Guo used his novel writing to reveal lyrical living behind the historical violence, and argues that how the lyrical living can become the redemption of history and individual. Through the discussions, I claim that Guo used novel writing to find the possibility of redemption, and tried to resolve the contradiction between history and individual.
