恰早新聞有講起，為著愛情歸陰司—探討《台灣日日新報》對殉情報導所展現的愛情論述

Die-for-love news reportings－An Analysis of the Love Discourses Displayed in the Die-for-love News Reportings Covered in "Taiwan Daily News"

殉情作為一個不分地域不分時期都會發生的情感行動，但對殉情的態度與論述則會因時代、宗教或政治等相關因素而有所差異。本文將透過整理作為日治時期官方最重要的報刊媒體《台灣日日新報》中對殉情的報導，試圖找出殉情這個概念在歷時性上所可能呈現的變化。日治時期的殉情從一開始便不是以一個單純男女感情自殺事件來被看待的，而是作為一個牽涉到族群、階級以及殖民層面的論述對象出現。隨著殉情事件的不斷發生，進而演變成殖民地的社會問題時，權力者（日本執法者與台灣家父長制）也開始不斷地面臨挑戰。是故，本文藉由探討日治時期殉情論述的轉變，嘗試尋找出另一種不同於以往研究日治時期愛情討論的觀點。

To die for love is an emotional action which could happen regardless of time and location, but the attitude toward dying for love changes due to factors such as time, religion and politics. In this analysis, a possible change of the die-for-love concept through time is revealed by investigating die-for-love news reportings in the most important official news media－" Taiwan Daily News" during Japanese colonial period. In Japanese colonial period, die-for-love incidents were not treated as pure suicides caused by love between man and woman, but rather seen as an discourse subject involving groups, social class and colonial aspect. As die-for-love incidents kept happening and finally evolve into a colonial social problem, the power holders (Japanese law enforcers and Taiwanese parents) also started to face challenges. Therefore, by investigating the transformation of die-for-love discourses during Japanese colonial period, a search for a possible viewpoint on love discussions which differs from previous studies is presented.
