佐佐木讓，《昭南島有蘭花嗎？》這部小說是以日本發動馬來亞戰役及珍珠港事件的1941年末到日本戰敗的1945年8月的新加坡為舞臺的作品。主角梁光前是在台灣出生的客家人，住在日佔時期被易名為「昭南島」的新加坡，在當地的日本人經營的貿易商工作。前往新加坡前，他的身體早已刻印著極濃厚的越境性，但因居住在英國統治、日本軍政下的新加坡，歷經加入以華僑組成的抗日義勇軍、參與馬來亞共產黨秘密策畫的東條英機謀殺，他的身體更加展現其豐富多彩的越境性。儘管如此，成長於殖民地台灣的客家家庭、在日本帝國首都之東京的商業學校念書、在新加坡工作這個主角梁光前的設定，於當時的時代背景，應該並不算是特別特殊的。本論文特別關注以下四個方面：有數種唸法的光前的名字、「中國人」的族群多層性、基於客家意識的光前的行為以及光前的帝國臣身分不一定代表「日本人」的此種矛盾，依此釐清以日本帝國末期的「昭南島」為背景如何描述光前的身體。
An Orchid in Singapore, authored by Sasaki Joh, depicts Singapore from the end of 1941 when Japan commenced Malayan Campaign and attacked Pearl Harbor, to August, 1945 when Japan surrendered to the Allies. Liang Guangqian, the main character of this novel, is a Hakka from Taiwan, and works for a Japanese merchant who lives in Singapore or Shonanto as it was called under the Japanese occupation. His body was characterized by his transborderness even before coming to the island, and the body has been maximized in the British-ruled and Japanese occupied Singapore, and also through the experience of joining the anti-Japanese volunteer army consisting of oversea Chinese and having a hand in the assassination plot against then Japanese prime minister Tojo Hideki, secretly planned by the members of the Malayan Communist Party. It cannot be said, however, that his character; grown up in a Hakka family in Taiwan, studied at a commercial school in the capital of Japanese empire and works in Singapore, is unnaturally exaggerated in the context of the period. This paper would like to focus on the following four aspects; Guangqian's name with several readings, multi-layered ethnicity of 'Chinese,' Guangqian's behavior based on his Hakka identity, Guangqian as a subject of the empire but not necessarily as a ＂Japanese.＂By doing so, it is expected to understand how Guangqian's transborder body is drawn in ＂Shonanto＂against the backdrop of the closing years of Japanese empire. |
