《古城月報》與五十年代中期馬六甲華校生文學生產初探——以〈古城新語〉和〈學園〉為研究對象

A Study on Literary Production of Malacca's Chinese Students in the Mid-1950's -The Case of Gu Cheng Xin Yu and Xue Yuan from Koo Cheng Yeh Pao

馬六甲的華文文學創作或文學活動總被視為沒落而不足以觀之，但值得注意的是，在1950年代期間，馬六甲學生在文學創作方面卻有著強盛而蓬勃的生產力，這股生產力催生了不少以後的馬華作家。其中，有不少尚是學生的馬華作家曾在這個時期積極寫作，並投稿至各大報章副刊、學生文藝刊物，為馬六甲文壇做著拓荒的工作。然而，這一段歷史卻被人忽略，緣此，本文擬就1950年代出版的當地報刊—《古城月報》的文藝副刊做為研究的切入點，嘗試窺探1950年代中期馬六甲青年學生的文學生產情況，並瞭解當時這批年輕人所關心的文學主題。本文試圖透過「文學傳播學」理論的運用，分析《古城月報》主編的編輯方針、作者的創作風格等方面，以釐清馬六甲文學生產與傳播的意義。
