歷史小說與在地化認同──「國姓爺」故事系譜中的西川滿〈赤崁記〉

1937年以後台灣文學中出現大量以歷史題材創作的小說，其中「國姓爺」鄭成功史事更為台灣人與日本人作家競相書寫的對象。「國姓爺」故事本來在日本、台灣、中國與西歐等地就存在著不同的傳述方式與途徑，出生於日本的鄭成功絕非專屬於台灣的歷史人物。本論文將先從「國姓爺」形象在日本近世文學中出現至1940年代戰爭期為止，論述從十八世紀到二十世紀初期，「國姓爺」故事書寫熱潮的時代中，其故事創造過程之社會、思想史的意義。其次則視西川滿〈赤崁記〉為眾多日本、中國前行「國姓爺」文本系譜，以及與佐藤春夫〈女誡扇綺譚〉「互文」的結果，並論述其中敘事策略所顯現的，戰爭期間在台內地人的在地認同與書寫欲望的關係。
