流動情境：論張惠菁的文學作品與專欄

本研究試圖指出作家張惠菁在台灣文學場域的位置。張惠菁台大歷史學畢業後，公費留學於愛丁堡大學歷史學研究所，讀博班時，獲取文學獎成為新生代作家，毅然決然放棄成為學者，而以創作為志，回台後，一邊工作一邊創作，其創作扣合其所面臨社會中之處境，本研究以包曼「液態現代性」為發想，提出「流動情境」為二十世紀末至二十一世紀之現代台灣社會景象。本研究藉由張惠菁的作家歷程、所處時代背景、文學作品，三者共構，描繪出其創作姿態與在文學場域中的位置。並指出其不同時期發表場域，以專欄為發表核心，展現出迥異傳播媒介之特性，有其差異之書寫策略。首先，留學愛丁堡時，發表於《新新聞周刊》「愛丁堡傳真」專欄文論，此時期創作小說獲得文學獎，踏入文壇，成為新生代作家。再者，寫楊牧傳記，並有五年半時間發表《壹週刊》「步行書」專欄，展現其美學位置；後刊載《中國時報‧人間副刊》「三少四壯集」專欄為小說雛形文章。最後，在中國工作時，發表至中國《上海壹周》「他城」後改名「給冥王星」專欄、香港《信報》「上海通訊」專欄、臺灣《蘋果日報》「啟稟娘娘」專欄，展現中港臺的跨文化傳播現象。故本研究最終指出，張惠菁面對流動情境所呈現之創作，為台灣文學中注入一股中介力量，並以流動姿態活躍於文壇，顯現其自我能動性。

This thesis concerns itself with writer Chang Lotus Hui-Ching’s works and columns in the field of Taiwan Literature. After graduating from the Department of History at National Taiwan University, Chang gained her master’s degree at University of Edinburgh, School of History, Classics and Archaeology with government fellowship. While doing her PhD, Chang decided to pursue a career in writing instead of academy due to the recognition of literature awards. Chang’s works focus on Taiwanese society and reflect the social conditions she encounters back in Taiwan. Derived from the critique of liquid modernity by Zygmunt Bauman, the thesis conceives the idea of “liquid scenario” illustrating the society of contemporary Taiwan from the late 20th to current century. By analyzing Chang’s writing career, time background and works, the research examines the author’s dynamic writing strategies presented in her columns during different period of time and elaborates the writer’s characteristics and position in Taiwan literary studies. The thesis divides Chang’s writing into four major phases. Firstly, Chang started her career as columnist for The Journalist when studied in Edinburgh and earned the title of “writer of the new generation” as her novel was awarded with literature prize. Then, the writer wrote the biography of poet Yang Mu and columns in Next Magazine for five and half years, which illuminate her writing aesthetics. Later on, Chang developed her novel based on the columns she wrote for the literary supplement of China Times. Finally, while working in China, the author wrote regular columns in several media including Shanghai Weekly, Hong Kong Economic Journal, and Apple Daily, creating an intercultural communication across mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. In summary, the thesis indicates that in facing with liquid scenario, Chang’s writings could be viewed as an intermediary in Taiwan literature and express author’s subjectivity and flexibility in the literary communities.
