疆界內外——《聊齋誌異》的同性情愛

Borders and Beyond–Homosexual Loves in Liaozhai Zhiyi

《聊齋誌異》中，婚戀主題的相關書寫一向是不避情色，風月無邊。近年在有關性別、敘事理論轉化出新的研究視域觀照之下，針對《聊齋》中將近三分之一篇幅的情愛主題，當猶能提供論者開展異於既往的論述空間。本文擬就全書男男、女女、以及跨界游移等有關同性情愛的多元樣貌，探析其中攸關情欲、權力、倫理的牽纏互涉，兼顧歷史文化語境與作家自主創作意識，亦重《聊齋》迂迴取勢的敘事策略，期能一探《聊齋》如何展現光彩紛呈千姿百態的情色美學，以及寄寓其中豐富深遂的人文省思。

In Liaozhai zhiyi, erotic writings about love and marriage have been strongly associated with the descriptions of sexual scenes. With the new research viewpoint formed in recent years, the discussions of gender relationships and narrative theories have shed light on the investigation into the love and marriage theme in Liaozhai zhiyi, which occupies nearly one-third of the entire book.
This paper explores the multitude of homosexual relations between man-man, woman-woman as well as border crossing illustrated in the book. The intertwined relationships among lust, power, and moral acts are analyzed along with the consideration of the historical and cultural context as well as the independent creative consciousness of the writer. The paper would also focus on the subtle and intricate narrative strategy of Liaozhai zhiyi. It is thus intended to demonstrate how the vigorousness and diversity of erotic aesthetics as well as literati’s profound deliberation of the social culture are embedded in Liaozhai zhiyi.
