本文意在重探羅智成(1955-)封筆十年的「黑暗時期」(1989-1999)前思想與創作筆法的轉變。羅智成早期受現代主義影響,提出「智教」,討論其成績,則作品與其宣示意味濃厚的文學觀缺一不可。或討論文學理念及社會主張如何透過詩作呈現,或從現代抒情詩的角度重新清理其文學觀的演進,以往的研究鮮有從這兩個脈絡去彙整者。本文以書院時期(有詩集〈畫冊〉、〈光之書〉)與藍色時期(有詩集〈傾斜之書〉、〈擲地無聲書〉)作分期,並儘量以書為討論單位。 首章為緒論,說明筆者的問題意識與研究步驟。第二章以理解的角度考察《畫冊》、《光之書》裡對「智教」理念的陳述,指出作者透過精神象徵或情境建構的隱喻邏輯。第三、四章分以《畫冊》、《光之書》為研究對象,引入詩學角度,討論羅智成用以實踐思想的寫作技術。《畫冊》的內向書寫與情緒狂熱,《光之書》初步發展的敘事筆法,都是以往研究者較少碰觸的領域,明顯存在與現代抒情詩歌的親緣性。 第五章將延續三、四章對寫作筆法與思想的研究成果,觀察其理想性質與寫作筆法如何在藍色時期的《傾斜之書》、《擲地無聲書》二本著作中轉變。羅智成在藍色時期的留學生經歷、大時代下的政治事件與知識份子自覺,為寫作者帶來直接的影響。該章節的討論仍以寫作技法為核心,但加入羅智成風格完熟期著手參與的兩本譯著《中國最後一個古代》、《西風殘照故中國》,及《夢的塔湖書簡》的部分段落,呈現羅智成如何從智教宣言的「偉大的意志」走向建設「文化理想人格」的過程。第六章是本文的結論,將對研究成果作整合。
This paper is intended to reexamine Zhi-Cheng Luo’s (1955 - present) changes in thinking and creative writing techniques prior to the decade-long ‘dark age’ (1989-1999) when he stopped writing. He was influenced by modernism in the early stage and introduced Zhi’s doctrine. To discuss his achievements, both his works and point of view in literature that has a strong implication of declaration are indispensable. Whether it is discussing how his literary concepts and social assertions are represented through his poetry or re-clarifying the evolution of his point of view in literature from the perspective of modern lyric poetry, few prior studies have attempted at consolidation in both contexts. This paper divides his career into the college period (with the publication of poetry collections Art Book and Book of Light) and the blue period (with the publication of poetry collections Tilting Book and Book that Falls Silent on the Ground) and provides separate discussions by work whenever possible.Chapter 1 is the introduction and describes this author’s question awareness and research steps. Chapter 2 investigates statements about the notion of Zhi’s doctrine in Art Book and Book of Light through comprehension and points out the metaphorical logic that Luo created through quintessential symbols or scenarios. Chapters 3 and 4 examine Art Book and Book of Light as the research subjects, respectively, and introduce the perspective of poetics to discuss the writing techniques that Luo used to demonstrate his thoughts in practice. Inward writing and emotional fanaticism in Art Book and initially developed narrative writing techniques in Book of Light are the areas that prior researchers less seldom touched and clearly have affinity with modern lyric poetry.Chapter 5 continues to explain research results of Luo’s writing techniques and thoughts, which have already been addressed in Chapters 3 and 4, and provides observations of changes in the nature of his ideal and his writing techniques in the two works Tilting Book and Book that Falls Silent on the Ground in the blue period. Luo’s experience as a foreign student, political events in the age of greatness, and self-awareness among intellectuals in the blue period all have direct impacts on him as a writer. Discussions in this chapter still center around Luo’s writing techniques, but also add two translated books China’s Last Ancient Dynasty and West Wind and Sunset on Ancient China and some paragraphs from Letters by Lake Mendota to manifest how Luo moved from the ‘great will’ in his declaration of Zhi’s doctrine to shaping of an ‘ideal personality of culture’. Chapter 6 is the conclusion of this paper and integrates the research results.
