《魯冰花》是臺灣戰後第一代臺籍文人鍾肇政所發表的第一部長篇小說,於1960年3月起在聯合報副刊上連載,1962年由明志出版社結集成書。《阿輝的心》則是同屬戰後第一代的臺灣本土作家林鍾隆所寫,於1964年12月起在《小學生雜誌》上連載,翌年由小學生雜誌社結集出版。兩部作品皆寫成於六○年代,可視為戰後臺灣少年小說創作之始。兩者皆臚列於《臺灣(1945-1998)兒童文學一百》的小說評選推薦書單中,堪稱少年小說的經典之作。本文擬以《魯冰花》與《阿輝的心》為研究文本,初步探析臺灣六○年代少年小說中的男童形構,試圖爬梳於此時期生成的文本如何展現以及再現男童文化與男童主體。本文援引西方男性研究中影響較深遠的「霸權陽剛特質」論述作為主要理論架構,並且採擷西方經典男童故事作為參照,以此探討男童文化的相關概念,尤其關注文本所形塑的男童霸權陽剛氣質。在《魯冰花》與《阿輝的心》這兩部作品中,古阿明的活潑外放與阿輝的沉穩內斂呈現鮮明對比,一個是天真調皮,有自我主張,不受傳統羈絆的「小頑童」另一個則是勤奮好學,自律甚嚴,行為舉止宛如少年老成的「小大人」。同為六○年代作家筆下的男童,阿明與阿輝顯然代表了作家心目中以及社會文化所期許的不同的理想男童典型。
Chung Chao-Cheng's Lu Pin Hua (Lupin Flower) and Lin Chung-Lung's A Huei De Xin (A-huei's Heart) are two of the initial publications of juvenile fiction in Taiwan. Lu Pin Hua was serialized in The United Daily News in 1960 and later published by Ming-Zhi Publisher in 1962, while A Huei De Xin was first serialized in Xiao Xue Sheng Za Zhi (The Elementary Student Magazine) in 1964 and published a year later. Both are enlisted in Taiwan Children's Literature 100 (1945-1998), and accordingly each can be regarded as one of the canonical children's texts for young readers. Drawing on R. W. Connell's theory of hegemonic masculinity, as well as employing Western canonical boy stories for reference, the paper aims to explore how boyhood and, in particular, how the ideal boy images are shaped and represented in Taiwan juvenile fiction in the 1960s, specifically, in Lu Pin Hua and A Huei De Xin. A-Huei, the protagonist in A Huei De Xin, is a boy of tremendous perseverance, self-control, and self-discipline. Gu A-Ming, the boy protagonist in Lu Pin Hua, on the other hand, is the one characterized by waywardness, self-assertion, and unconformity. Although shaped in different ways -as A-Huei looks more like a mature and sophisticated 'grown-up,' whereas A-Ming appears to be and behave like a 'wild boy,' they respectively represent the authorial as well as the cultural expectations and sanctions of what an ideal boy could be and should be. |
