火紅年代的溫柔與暴烈－論黃碧雲作品中的歷史、左翼與本土性

黃碧雲（1961－）是香港的重要作家，論者對她的關注多局限於其中對九七前後世態人心的描摹，而忽視了當中大量以第三國家作為背景，或呼應六、七○年代歐美左翼國際運動的作品。本文選取了火紅年代作為切入點，把〈盛世戀〉和〈嘔吐〉兩篇同樣以香港為背景和以愛情為主題的早期小說回置於時代脈絡中，重新探討兩部作品的主題。往後並援引黃碧雲的不同作品為線索，進一步說明「溫柔與暴烈」可作為其對待左翼運動的思想立場，體現著其人文關懷的寫作觀。本文希望藉著對黃碧雲早期作品作出較為細緻的分析，以重現黃碧雲作品中一直不為論者注意或重視的另一面向；並認為黃碧雲作品中反覆書寫的香港歷史和世界題材，或為香港「本土性」定位的另一種思考。

Wong Bik-wan (1961- ) is one of the most important writers in Hong Kong. In the past, discussions on Wong's works were mostly confined to some of her depictions prior to and post the handover of Hong Kong's sovereignty to China in 1997, but neglected that many of her works are featuring the third world countries, or in response to the left-wing international movements emerged in the Western world during the 1960s and 1970s. Having placed her works into the historical context, this paper restudies the main themes of her early fictions-＂Love in Millennium＂ and ＂Nausea＂ depicting love stories in Hong Kong at those flaming times. Thereafter, by citing her other works, this paper further elaborates the ＂tenderness and violence＂ that reflects Wong's thought and stance towards the left-wing movements as the ＂humanistic concern＂ in her writings. By the meticulous analysis of Wong's early works, this paper aims at unveiling the other facets of her works which are not discussed or valued before, as well as accounting her repeated writing of Hong Kong history and worldwide issues as another thinking of Hong Kong's ＂locality＂.
