冷戰時期吳濁流文學在美傳播與接受的文化政治

Cold War Cultural Politics in the Circulation and Reception of Wu Zhuoliu’s Literature in the United States

冷戰時期吳濁流的《無花果》（「林白版」）在台灣島內遭禁，因而轉往海外尋求出版的機會。《無花果》經日本轉介，輸往美國的台美人社群，並在各種不同類型的台僑刊物刊出或節錄介紹，其中包括「美麗島系列」的《美麗島週報》、「保釣刊物」的《釣魚台快訊》、「台獨刊物」的《獨立台灣》、「同鄉會刊物」的《望春風》、「自決刊物」的《草地人》等。這些刊物雖有其各自的意識型態和發刊目的，但是無論左統、台獨、自決的刊物皆先後介紹轉載吳濁流的文學作品。因此，本文希望透過報刊研究，釐清在美讀者於七○年代中華民國退出聯合國等外交困境中，與在八○年代島內黨外運動的背景下，如何閱讀理解吳濁流的文學？藉此釐清吳濁流文學在美出版和傳播的文化政治。

During the Cold War, Wu Zhuoliu’s Wuhuaguo (Fig Tree, the“Lin Bai edition”) was banned in Taiwan, prompting the author to search for publication opportunities abroad. Through intermediaries in Japan, the work entered Taiwanese American communities in the United States and appeared－either in full or in excerpted form－in a range of diasporic periodicals. These outlets included the“Formosa Series”Formosa Weekly, the Baodiao movement publication Diaoyutai Bulletin, the pro-independence journal Independent Taiwan, the hometown-association newsletter Wang Chun-Feng, and the self-determination-oriented Grassroots. Despite their divergent ideological orientations and publishing aims－including unification-leaning, independence-focused, and self-determination platforms－all of these periodicals successively featured or reprinted Wu’s literary works. Drawing on press and periodical studies, this paper examines how Taiwanese readers in the United States interpreted Wu Zhuoliu’s literature within two shifting political contexts: the diplomatic crises of the 1970s－most notably the Republic of China’s withdrawal from the United Nations－and the island’s burgeoning dangwai (non-KMT opposition) movements in the 1980s. By reconstructing the media landscape in which Wu’s works circulated, the study clarifies the cultural politics that shaped the publication, transmission, and reception of Wu Zhuoliu’s literature in the United States.
