公共電視於2010年底播出由鄭有傑編導的《他們在畢業的前一天爆炸》(底下簡稱《爆炸》)電視劇,自開播之後即獲致良好口碑,後續更獲得第46屆金鐘獎的五項大獎。揆諸《爆炸》一劇能獲得認同,是因為它提供了現實生活中的道德意識,標明了人在是非黑白中掙扎游移的苦痛,引起了觀眾過往經驗的共同認知,說明電視劇雖然是個虛構的作品,但和我們所處的真實世界卻有極強的互動。如此引發深思的優秀作品,按理應該引發諸多討論,可是檢視至2015年為止的相關學論文,卻只有一篇以併論方式對之探討,筆者認為猶有相當空間可做完整論述,因此本論文以《爆炸》劇作為研究對象,論文的主題則是標舉「生之掙扎」,意謂當前社會環境對青少年而言,充滿了生存壓力,令他們感到窒息,這也是《爆炸》劇所訴求的主旨之一。 《爆炸》劇編導鄭有傑翻轉慣有視角,將社會上習以為常的「大人」眼光 —— 責備青少年不學好的呵斥態度,而取代以青少年立場發聲,將社會上現實偽善和不公不義面貌,透過青少年的吶喊和怒吼,逐一呈現出來。本論文對鄭有傑使用的敘事技巧、情節安排策略、青少年背景性格設定、藉物藉歌象徵隱喻方式等等手法,將進行探討,除了藉此思考《爆炸》劇獲致成功的原因,還將解析《爆炸》劇所呈現的文學意象,並省思該劇背後的深沉哲理。
