也斯的香港後殖民文學與論述

The Postcolonial Discourse and Literary Works of Leung Ping-kwan

本文嘗試從也斯的評論及文學作品總結其香港後殖民論述的特點。首先追溯到他六、七十年代的早期文章，檢視他如何在對美國非裔藝術及拉丁美洲文學的關注中已經初步觸及後殖民議題。接著整理他援引來分析香港後殖民處境的理論資源，包括法農對被殖民主體的異化心理研究，香港被各種宏大論述收編再現的東方主義式問題，以及朝向後民族方向發展的後殖民理論。最後分析也斯的作家身份對後殖民論述的貢獻，討論《形象香港》和《後殖民食物與愛情》這兩部後殖民文學作品和他的論述或有所配合、或有所推進發展的關係，嘗試完整呈現也斯的後殖民香港圖景。

This paper concludes the features of the postcolonial discourse of Leung Ping-kwan by studying his academic writing and literary works. First, observation of his early column writings in the 1960s and 70s shows that he was interested in the colonialism portrayed in African American literature and Latin American literature. Then, the paper combs through his academic writings in the 1980s and 90s and analyzes the postcolonial theories he used. They include Frantz Fanon's study on the psychology of the colonized subjects, the representation and adaptation of Hong Kong in an Orientalist perspective and postnational theories such as Homi Bhabha and Benedict Anderson. The last part of the paper studies Leung's postcolonial literary works, City at The End of Time (1992) and Postcolonial Affairs of Food and the Heart (2009), illustrates the relationship between his academic and literary writings, and provides a complete study on his depiction of postcolonial Hong Kong.
