〈眠床鬼〉中臺灣的鬼──日影丈吉小說中的「詭異」－－

The Taiwanese Ghost in “Minshoki”: The “Uncanny” Element in the Works of Hikage Jokichi

曾於日治時期訪臺的日本偵探暨幻想文學作家日影丈吉於1965年3月在雜誌《推理故事》發表了以日治時期臺灣為舞台的短篇小說〈眠床鬼〉。小說中日本士兵K在湯村家後院中一間臺灣式住宅的睡床上遇到了一女鬼。先行研究論文中研究者主要以針對此篇小說中具有的情色、他者或眠床隱喻等觀點進行考察。此論文中筆者援用佛洛伊德的「詭異」概念，透過心理精神分析觀點重新考察小說中女鬼所代表之意義，以及女性的她為何被認為是「詭異」的存在等當時代之意識型態及具象。根據以上考察結果梳理日本人作家日影於戰後書寫中究竟是如何看待戰前及戰後的臺灣與日本。

Hikage Jokichi, a Japanese detective and fantasy writer who had visited Taiwan under Japanese rule, published a short story “Minshoki,” which was set in Taiwan under Japanese rule, in the magazine Detective Stories in March 1965. In the short story, a Japanese soldier called K, encountered a female ghost on a sleeping bed in a Taiwanese house in the backyard of Yumura's home. In the previous studies on this work, the researchers mainly focused on the eroticism, otherness, or the metaphor of sleeping bed. In the paper, the author adopted the concept of “The Uncanny” raised by Freud and re-investigated the meaning of the female ghost in the short story through a psychoanalytic perspective, as well as the contemporary ideology and embodiment of why the female ghost was considered to be the “uncanny” being. Based on the findings mentioned above, how the Japanese writer Hikage viewed Taiwan and Japan before and after WWII in his post-war writings can be thus sorted out.
