反思社會運動者自我：「編輯者賴和」與《臺灣民報》的戲劇

本研究試圖指出1920年代戲劇作為一種新的文類，其劇本、觀念、刊行載體，如何發軔於社會運動者之手，表現殖民統治下尋找出路的曲折。《臺灣民報》先後作為臺灣文化協會、臺灣民眾黨的機關報紙，試圖傳播新知以啟蒙民眾，也開設文藝欄，臺灣新文學得以藉由現代媒體而茁壯。1927年文協左右分裂後，《臺灣民報》由東京移臺發行帶來重大改版，賴和所接手的文藝欄成為每週常設版面，持續提供臺灣新文學作家發表園地，也轉載中國新文學作品，數量因而大幅上升。在主編賴和的執掌下，出現一批不知名作者的劇作，其具備西方戲劇（Drama）體裁，並且內容都描繪社運青年的心靈，讓文協分裂後社會運動者遭遇挫折、苦惱、悲觀、內省的知識份子形象活躍於報紙版面。值此臺灣新文學邁開步伐之際，這批劇作反映了賴和刊登戲劇文類的編輯思想，正與臺灣文化協會分裂前後的社運內部狀況關係密切。作為文藝欄編輯者的賴和，一如以小說、新詩、散文揭露殖民地現實的作家賴和，選編刊登這批劇作，亦是社會運動者以文藝實踐理想的一項具體行動。本研究最後指出，1920年代的社會運動者透過反思自我，創作劇本、模仿戲劇文類的雜文，實現理想主義的積極精神。這也是文學文類、演出實踐同步爭出的時代，戲劇新文類的重要意義。

Being the official media of Taiwan Cultural Association and Taiwan People’s Party, Taiwan Min Pao committed to spreading knowledge in order to enlighten people, and its literary columns facilitated the growth of Taiwan new literature. After Taiwan Cultural Association was divided against itself in 1927, Taiwan Min Pao was relocated from Tokyo to Taipei and reissued with crucial changes. A newly literary column, edited by Lai Ho, became a weekly routine, reprinting many works of Chinese new literature and showcasing those of Taiwanese literature. Navigated by Lai Ho, the column attracted a body of scripts by unknown writers. These plays have featured the genre of western drama and portrayed the youth engaged with social movement — a vivid rendition of the frustration, pessimism, agony, and interior reflections of the social activists confronting the division of Taiwan Cultural Association. In line with the rising wave of Taiwan new literature, the publication of these newly emerging plays represented the correlation between Lai Ho’s editorial policy and the political campaigns around the division of Taiwan Cultural Association. Like the writer Lai Ho who exposed the realities of the colonial ruling by his fictions, poems and proses, “the editor Lai Ho” put these selected plays in print—another social activist’s practical action to attain ideals by liberal arts. At the end of this study, it points out that social activists which reflects the self realized the positive spirit of idealism by writing plays and essays imitating the dramatic genre in the 1920s.Thus, it was significant meaning shown in the drama as new genre like the others and the theatrical events at the same time.
