劉吶鷗的東亞想像──《持攝影機的男人》的風土表述、尖端獵奇與昭和文化

Liu NaOu’s Imagination of East Asia: Custom Discourses, Novelty Seeking and the Culture of Showa in The Man Who A Has Camera

新感覺派作家劉吶鷗於1933年完成《持攝影機的男人》，影片由五卷短片組成：〈人間卷〉、〈東京卷〉、〈風景卷〉、〈廣州卷〉、〈遊行卷〉。地景雖然疊合日本在東亞的勢力，卻略去劉吶鷗熟悉的上海，上海不僅為東亞第一大城，日僑眾多，在拍與不拍中藏有他的關懷與認同。目前研究成果較忽略影片與日本昭和時代的連結，成長於大正時期的劉吶鷗，經歷轉入昭和後，日本大舉攻占東亞各區域，他看見戰爭，也看見常民生活裡正瀰漫「情色」、「怪奇」、「無意義」的摩登文化，兩者構成三○年代的主旋律，因而重思大正過渡至昭和，日治台灣人面對東亞時局遷變的感受，成為本文焦點。本文分析1930年代與劉吶鷗的雙向關係，包括東亞局勢影響影片的觀點呈現，以及地景呈現出的風土敘事，其與昭和文化、新興文藝的交涉。藉以考察劉吶鷗的東亞想像，如何回應他對「超越政治」、「反映明日社會」的關懷，補充論者較少觸及的面向。

Liu Na’ou, a Neo-Sensation writer as well as a movie director, made a film called The Man Who Has A Camera in 1933 comprised of five sections: Liu’s family life in Xinying, Taiwanese processions, the scenery of Manchukuo and colonial Taiwan, modern girls and parades in Guangdong, and modern Tokyo. The places featured almost entirely overlap with Japanese colonies, except that Shanghai - which is known as the largest city in East Asia–is not among them. Current research ignores the connection between the film and the Showa period in Japan. Liu Na’ou, who grew up during the Taisho period, experienced the transition to the Showa era, in which Japan invaded and occupied various regions in East Asia. He witnessed the war, and also saw the "erotic", "grotesque" and "nonsense" modern culture that emerged and became prominent during the 1930s. Therefore, this article reconsiders of the transition from Taisho to the Showa era, and the feelings of the Japaneseoccupied Taiwanese in the face of the changing situation in East Asia as its focus. This study explores the relationship between 1930s and Liu’s imagination of East Asia, including the perspectives in the film that were influenced by the situation in East Asia, the local narrative presented by the landscape, and its negotiation with Showa culture, as well as with emerging literature and art. In order to examine how Liu Na’ou's East Asian imagination responds to his concern for "transcending politics" and "reflecting tomorrow's society", this article includes key aspects that have been previously under-analyzed by other researchers.
