摘要

本論文欲以台南府城為地域，探討城市如何滋養作家，作家又如何書寫形塑一地的文化記憶，如何藉由文本展現他們的空間經驗、空間寫照及自我主體的建立到國族認同。
以出生府城的作家──許地山（1893－1941）、葉石濤（1925－）、陳燁（1959－）三人為研究對象，選取他們三人作品作為研究文本。
先探討書寫者與府城（是出生地，也是生長情境）的關聯，描繪書寫者在城市的流動與定位，如何透過書寫表達他們的地方感，他們對於地方的主觀和情感上的依附，於是地方成為有意義的空間，府城不再只是一個地名，和書寫者、有過府城記憶的人有了情感的聯繫。
許地山的府城印象，是父親許南英的愛國愛鄉情懷的延續，家族女性長輩在民俗活動背後默默操勞的身影，及對民族英雄鄭成功的景仰，化成對家國的感時憂國及為救國圖存而奔走，成了許地山的府城想像與書寫。世居府城的葉石濤，生於斯，長於斯，從「大觀園」內的富裕生活，從文學世界的浪漫遐想，走到現實社會，遭逢政權轉換、家族沒落，自己被牽扯於政治事件而遭遇牢獄之災，只有書寫歷史，才能找到臺灣/自己的定位；只有記錄古老府城的面貌、家族的情事，才能定義臺灣卅府城氣質。陳燁一出生的怪相，就附會過多的傳說與陰影，加上家族沒落，陳燁一生莫可奈何背上莫須有的罪與家族仇恨，只有書寫才能得到救贖。青春的失落與哀愁，家族斑糝的血淚，在陳家大厝、西來庵、風化場所及運河一一開展來，交匯成陳燁深刻又特有的府城記憶。第五章則是本論文的研究總結說明。

In this paper, the researcher takes the Tainan City as a research region. She discusses how the city nourished the writers, and explores how the writers wrote and formed their cultural memory of Tainan City. Through the texts, the writers unfolds their spatial experience, spatial portrayal, self-consciousness and their national identification to their readers.
The objects of the study are the three writers who were born in Tainan City -- Sheu Dih-shan (1893－1941 ), Ye Shi-tao ( 1925－) and Chen Ye ( 1959－) .Their works are the research text.
In the first part of the study, the researcher discusses the connection of the writers and the birth place, Tainan City. She depicts the writers’ movement and position in the city. They wrote to express their sense of place and their subjective and emotional dependency on the city. Therefore, "Tainan City" is no longer just a geographic name but a significant place. The writers also have the emotional relation with the people who have memory of Tainan City.
Sheu Dih-shan’s impressions of Tainan city are that his father, Sheu Nan- ying, loved his motherland and homeland, and the female elders in his family worked hard and silently in the folk custom activities. His admiration of national hero Zheng Cheng-gong turned into the concern about trend of time and destiny of the century.
Ye Shi-tao, a native of Tainan City, started from depicting the affluent life in "Grand View Garden" and romantic reverie in the literary world, but his writing changed into the description of the real world. He was hit by power conversion and the decline of his family. He was involved in political events and even sent to prison. By means of writing history, he found the position of Taiwan and himself. He defined Taiwan and Tainan through recording the appearance of old Tainan City.
Chen Ye , who was born with a deformed look, is added too many legends and suffers the decline of her family. She endures false accusation and family hatred all her life. Only through writing can she obtain redemption. Loss and sadness of youth and the heart-rending history of her family, were depicted and spread over her works. Chen Ye’s memory of Chen family’s residence, Shi Lai Buddhist nunnery, bawdyhouse and the Tainan Canal was profound and unique.
The findings and conclusion are presented and discussed in the final part of this study.
