摘要

八○年代，台灣政治走向解嚴，各種弱勢邊緣聲音在文壇受到重視，女性主義與各種挑戰大歷史、大敘述的小說於焉興起。八○年代李昂以三○年代發生在上海租界的「詹周氏殺夫」事件為底本，發表《殺夫》一文，回應了台灣農村社會中穩固的「大男人主義」，「殺夫」，成為「沙豬」的對應詞彙，「殺夫」儼然是女性對「沙文主義」反擊的形象化展演。新世紀之後，2015年平路的《黑水》以驚動社會的「八里雙屍命案」為底本，將一場被社會定位為「狐狸精」、「加害者」的女主角，轉為撲朔迷離的三角戀謎底的故事。在作者層層揭密的過程，「愛慾」與「罪責」不再清楚二分，小說彷彿與現實社會輿論展開層層辯證，兩個弱勢女性的處境與心理受到大量揭示，也間接引出了社會中對女性無形中的各種不公平的刻板概念。本論文擬以女性議題書寫及小說中的觀看群眾為關注焦點，比較李昂〈殺夫〉與平路〈黑水〉兩部以社會新聞事件為底本作為故事改編的女性議題小說，並進一步討論此兩部小說在戰後台灣空間中群眾觀看角度的省思，及對女性犯罪者的內在與背後議題的探究。

All kinds of vulnerable groups were gotten attentions in literary circle, Feminism and all kinds of fictions and novels that challenged the grand narratives were rising because the society gradually broke out of nervous atmosphere of martial law in Taiwan in the 1980s'. In the meantime, Ang Li(李昂)adapted the murderous event in Shanghai in the 1930s for the Butcher's Wife(殺夫). The Butcher's Wife(殺夫) responsed to the stable Chauvinism in Taiwan's countryside. Ang Li(李昂) tried to correspond to Chauvinism and made the demonstration to express the female how to counterattack Chauvinism by writing The Butcher's Wife(殺夫). After 2000, Lu Ping(平路) wrote the novel in 2015 that adapted a famous news about a old couple were killed by a younger woman in Ba Li. In this event in real-life, most public opinions considered the homicide event origined of the younger female murderer who was definitely a foxy woman and wicked killer, but Lu Pi adapted this event for a story of bizarre love triangle. In the process of revealing the secrets at the story, the dichotomy between ＂ desire＂ and ＂criminal＂ was no longer separated from each other. The River Darkens(黑水) seems to be dialectical to the real public opinion. Lu Ping(平路) indirectly showed that the invisible stereotypes of unfairness in women by revealing in a large amoun of the psychology and situation of the two disadvantaged women in her novel. Therefore, I plan to focus on the writing of female issues and the opinions of masses by comparing the Butcher's Wife(殺夫) and The River Darkens(黑水) because two novels which both were female issue novels based on news of social incidents. In the further, I plan to discuss the reflections of the two novels to the perspective of the masses in the post-war society in Taiwan, and explore the psychology and underlying social issues of female criminals.
