二十一世紀臺灣「後」殖民女性小說：以《看得見的鬼》、《海神家族》與《婆娑之島》為例

(Post)Colonial Taiwanese Women's Fiction in the New Millennium: The Cases of Seeing Ghosts, Mazu's Bodyguard, and Ilha Formosa

由於臺灣的多重殖民歷史，「後」殖民書寫一直是臺灣當代文學重要的一支。本文從臺灣本土的「後」殖民論述入手，爬梳臺灣的「後」殖民論述的種種爭議，進而分析李昂的《看得見的鬼》（2004）、陳玉慧的《海神家族》（2004）、以及平路的《婆娑之島》（2012）等三部小說，探索二十一世紀臺灣「後」殖民女性小說的再現策略。綜言之，經過二十世紀末以來理論辨證，臺灣的「後」殖民論述已經發展出自己的脈絡，而臺灣作家也持續以豐富的文學創作，建構出具有臺灣歷史地理文化獨特性的「後」殖民傳統。

Multiple layers of colonial history in Taiwan have nurtured a strong interest in (post)colonial literary works, as evidenced by the writing, and studies, of contemporary Taiwanese literature. This article first identifies important issues and controversies related to (post)colonial discourse in Taiwan's academic circles. It then moves on to analyze the fictional works of three women writers--Li An's Seeing Ghosts (2004), Jade Y. Chen's Mazu's Bodyguards (2004), and Ping Lu's Ilha Formosa (2012) --to explore the various strategies through which Taiwanese women writers represent the (post)colonial condition of the island in the new millennium. This article concludes that Taiwanese literary scholars, as well as creative writers, have already established a geopolitically and culturally specific (post)colonial discourse after more than three decades of productive debates and discussions.
