語言政策與女性主體之想像──解讀《中央日報‧婦女與家庭週刊》中女性散文家之美學策略

Language Policy and the Imagination ofFemale Subjectivity:Interpreting the Aesthetic Strategy of Female Prose Writers inThe Women and Family Weekly of the Central Daily News

本文以戰後初期最重要的文學媒介之一《中央日報．婦女與家庭週刊》來探討女性散文家在國家意識主導的文化空間中如何鞏固其抒情傳統形象，並且檢視女性散文家如何在集體意識型態／男性話語中不同修辭策略的展現，偏向於探討社會體制與女性主體之相互建構的複雜關係。本文大致從兩個不同的進路切入，其一偏向女性散文家如何發展對威權體制所形塑的主導文化之回應，試圖釐清抒情美文和官方語言政策之間所形成共構的關係，這也使得抒情散文在台灣文學場域中成為穩固的美學品味；其二是從女性散文家的文學活動與美學領域著手，探求女性主體在主流文化生態中開闢出私語語境，最終希冀具體評價抒情美文於戰後初期特定文學場域中所建構之價值體系，也進一步檢視主導勢力與性別主體之間奧妙複雜、互為建構的動態過程。

This paper attempts to discuss, by interpreting The Women and Family Weeklyof the Central Daily News—one of the most important literary media in the postwarperiod, that how the female prose writers consolidate their traditionally sentimentalimage in the cultural sphere dominated by national consciousness. Moreover, I willexamine how these writers apply different rhetoric strategies when surrounded bycollective ideology/male discourse, of which I will emphasize the complex natureof the mutual constructive relation between social system and female subjectivity.The paper will proceed with two issues. First is to investigate how the female prosewriters develop a response to the hegemonic dominant culture, which also helpsclarify the mutual-constructive relation between the lyric writing and the officiallanguage policy, and position this lyric prose style as a unique aesthetic taste in theliterary field in Taiwan. Next is to explore, by looking into these writers’ literaryand aesthetic activities, that how female subjectivity develops their own territoryof discourse in this dominant cultural ecology. By concretely evaluating the valuesystem that the lyric prose established in the early postwar period, we will furtherexamine the complication and the dynamic process of forming the mutual- constructive relation between the dominated power and sexual subjectivity.
