邊緣／核心的辯證──論朱和之筆下的「國姓爺」形成之路

Margin/Core Argumentation:Formation of“Koxinga”in the Writing of He-Chih Chu

解構「鄭成功」之熱於21世紀之初蔚為風潮，然而，臺灣文壇開始想像鄭成功童年成長、少年活動，與父母關係乃至創傷敘事者，應屬2010年之後相關書寫的重點。本文聚焦討論前行研究極少的：朱和之《鄭森》三卷（2014-2015）、《逐鹿之海》（2017），旨在觀察作者採用邊緣／核心的辯證，來形塑「國姓爺」的形成，此處國姓爺的形成並非僅止賜姓過程，而是其自我認同的建構與事業版圖之擴張。藉由論證作者如何選擇性地轉譯史料／記憶歷史人物，可觀察其鋪陳的鄭成功人格養成、心理變化，以及扛起國姓爺封號建構認同的歷程，創構出新世紀文學向度的一種國姓爺面貌，從而一窺作者投射的撰寫立意。

Deconstruction of ''Zheng Cheng Gong'' was popular in the early 21st century. However, in the literary circle of Taiwan, the imagination of the childhood, adolescence, relationship with parents, and trauma narration of Zheng Cheng Gong were the key points of related writing after 2010.This study focused on three volumes of Zheng Sun (2014-2015) and Zhu Lu Zhi Hai (2017) of He-Chih Chu which were rarely discussed in the previous research. It aimed to observe how the writer constantly constructed “Koxinga” by margin/core argumentation. Formation of Koxinga is not simply the process of bestowing a name, it is the construction of self-identification and expansion of business scope. By elaborating on how the writer selectively translated historical materials/characters, we could explore the change of mental states of Zheng Cheng Gong, cultivation of personality, and resistance to the obstacles of life to deserve the name Koxinga. In other words, this article explored how the author created a 21st century literary aspect of the Koxinga , so as to see the starting point of the author’s writing.
