抒情與寫實：重釋也斯的「生活化」詩歌主張

本文藉由爬梳七○至九○年代也斯對香港「生活化」詩歌的詮釋變化，嘗試分析也斯接觸「抒情」課題的起點，以及他如何從詩歌美學開始提出一個香港抒情的構想。也斯在七○年代初為了對抗現實主義而「發現」了抒情，並在八○年代擴充為對「生活化」詩歌的主要詮釋角度，提出他對香港文學「反感傷」、「節制抒情」等的獨特見解，最終在九○年代把該等香港抒情美學特點與本土論述結合，提升為香港身份認同的表現以及文化特點，以作為香港主體爭奪自身話語權的另類方式。也斯對抒情問題的探索在許多華文現代文學學者之先，其見解具鮮明的香港本土本位思考，是中國現代文學抒情研究中不可忽略的個案。

This paper discusses the development of Yesi's interpretation of Hong Kong poetry throughout 1970s to 1990s, in which he started to ponder the issue of lyricism and proposed the lyrical features of Hong Kong literature. Yesi brought forth lyricism in the debate against realism in early 1970s, and developed the idea of ‘everydayness' in the interpretation of Hong Kong poetry. The lyrical features of Hong Kong literature such as anti-sentimentalism and modernist lyricism were proposed and eventually integrated with the discussion of Hong Kong cultural identities in 1990s. To Yesi, the lyricism of Hong Kong literature shows the uniqueness of Hong Kong culture, which provides yet another way in discussing Hong Kong's cultural identity and subjectivity. Yesi's exploration of lyricism was much earlier than the recent upsurge of interest in Chinese lyrical tradition. His advocacy of lyricism is marked with a distinct Hong Kong perspective which made him an important case in modern Chinese lyrical study.
