佐藤春夫開啟了書寫南方的扉頁,而曾提倡南方文學重要性的中村地平,則被視為繼承其「南方憧憬」一脈的文學者。兩人的南方書寫與台灣原住民密不可分,皆為對台湾原住民族群抱持深切関心的作家先驅。 近代國家的自我擴張及自我實現基礎下所建構的西洋觀看東洋的刻板印象,1970年代後半由薩伊德指稱為「東方主義」。然而日本近代化後,內地文學者對台灣的書寫,亦可視為東方主義的具體表徵。而即使在「東方主義」的普遍性解釋受到批判的今日,探討「日本版東方主義」中對他者的受容問題之論說並不多見。「南方憧憬」的典型文本中,「文明」與「野蠻」的構圖是否以同樣的方式存在,仍留下詳細探討的空間。 本稿以佐藤春夫的「旅人」及中村地平的「蕃界之女」為文本,以自己與他者的問題意識出發,觀察「被動性」的身體描寫與意義,期解析南方憧憬的本質與意涵。
Sato Haruo commenced a wave of Nai-Chi writers to the literature compositions about the South; Nakamura Chihei who was engaged himself in promoting the Southern Literature, is acknowledged as a successor of Sato's way of ”Southern Enthusiasm.” The two writers are frontiers of paying passions to the Taiwan aborigine, for most of their South Literature works are related with the latter. The gazing from Japanese litterateurs to the colonial Taiwan, could be a signal for colonial Taiwan, which was facing pressures of modernization. The relationships between the East and West was built based on the self-expansion and self-realization behavior of modernized countries, and was labeled as ”Orientalism” by E.W. Said. This work is to based on Tabibito and Bankai no Onna and is trying to start form the question about the of selfand-different-clan consciousness existing between colonists and dependencies, thus analyze the main creation process of the colonists and dependencies.
