臺灣自主性母職書寫的多面向－－以李黎、龍應台、簡媜為例

Multidimentsional Perspectives on Self-aware Motherhood in Taiwan's Literary Writing－Taking Lily Hsueh, Lung Yingtai, and Jian Jen for Examples

隨著女性意識覺醒，文學創作結合女性自主意識，使母職書寫從早先「母性散文」的特色，逐漸轉變，作家紛紛思索母職及其生命意義，開創出自主性母職書寫，其中李黎、龍應台、簡媜頗具代表性，因而萌發研究興趣。三人皆書寫親身撫育小孩的經驗，歷經自身思想與母職拔河的過程，生命產生蛻變，開啟風格迥異的自主性母職書寫。母職看似平凡無奇，但對每個女人卻是獨一無二的經驗，母職不應是囚禁女性發展的空間，而是能與理想共同飛翔，使生命更為豐盈美好。本文藉由李黎、龍應台、簡媜三人因其不同心路歷程，勇於剖析母職在生命中形成的驚濤駭浪，重新省思，突破母職固有的藩籬，發展出個人特色的自主性母職，進而一窺台灣自主性母職書寫的多元面貌，呈現母職意涵轉變的時代意義。

With the rise of feminist awareness, writers began to put elements of female sovereignty into literature creations. Motherhood literary writing has changed from “maternal essay” into “self-aware motherhood writing” since writers began to think about motherhood and the meanings of life. Lily Hsueh’s ,Lung Yingtai’s, and Jian Jen’s works are the representative ones. Their writings revealed the experience of taking care of children and struggling between self-awareness and motherhood. Women’s lives changed, and thus they had started a completely different style of self-aware motherhood writing. Motherhood seems to be the most common thing among women; however, it’s a unique experience to each woman. Motherhood is not supposed to stop a woman from fulfilling herself but to make her own dream come true so they can live a better life. This thesis tried to discuss the multidimensional self-aware motherhood writing and to show the changing meaning of motherhood in old and modern times by taking Lily Hsueh,Lung Yingtai,and Jian Jen’s works for examples because they respectively revealed their life experiences of motherhood, self-awareness, and the struggles of breaking the hedges to develop personal styles of self-aware motherhood.
