反哺地方文學：論林皓淳的雲林文學書寫實踐

Giving Back to Local Literature: On Lin Haochun’s Literary Practice in Yunlin

2005年興辦的雲林文化藝術獎迄2024年屆滿20年，培植相當數量的雲林籍創作者，卻尚無專論研究，為雲林文學史的一頁缺憾。縱覽雲林文化藝術獎「文學獎」類得獎作品，能見雲林文學史研究者林皓淳，自2019年起多次反哺雲林文化藝術獎；並且以「雲林作家」認同自居，透過研究與創作雙軌，將雲林文學推廣至臺灣各地，乃至有傳播至國際之企圖，可望成為雲林文學書寫實踐者的新典範。本論文透過梳理歷屆雲林文化藝術獎得獎作品、精讀作家代表性文本，試圖處理二個問題：（一）雲林文化藝術獎的辦理，如何在雲林培植地方書寫風氣？（二）1990年代後出生的新銳雲林作家林皓淳如何以創作和研究反哺雲林文學？文後附二份附錄【附件一】雲林文化藝術獎得獎作品一覽表、【附件二】林皓淳創作年表。

“The Yunlin Culture and Art Award,”established in 2005, marked its 20th anniversary in 2024. Although the award has cultivated a considerable number of Yunlin-born writers, it has received little scholarly attention. A review of the winning works reveals that Lin Haochun, a young researcher of Yunlin literary history, has contributed to the Yunlin Culture and Art Award multiple times since 2019. Identifying as a“Yunlin writer,”he promotes local literature across Taiwan—and even internationally—through both research and creative writing. His work serves as a new model for practitioners of regional literary writing. This paper attempts to address two questions through a review of the winning works of the Yunlin Culture and Art Award and close reading of representative texts: (a) How has the Yunlin Culture and Art Award cultivated a local literary culture in Yunlin? (b) How has Lin Haochun, a new Yunlin writer born after the 1990s, contributed to Yunlin literature through his creative writing and research? Two appendices are included: a list of winning works from the Yunlin Culture and Art Award [Appendix 1], and a chronology of Lin Haochun’s writings [Appendix 2].
