主體的複寫：戰爭期世代陳舜臣《青雲之軸》和《半路上》的身分統合與戰爭記憶

Rewriting the Subject: Identity Integration and War Memory in Chen Shun-chen’s Qingyun zhi Zhou and Banlu Shang

自傳以記憶作為敘事基底，然自傳並非歷史事實的連續記載，乃立基於個體記憶與社會互動的結果，牽涉了傳主自我呈現和對過去記憶重組、選擇或忽略、遺忘的問題。因此，記憶為體現個人與集體歷史殘跡的載體。本文研究問題即以成長於日本的華裔作家陳舜臣（1924-2015）為個案，考察比對其自傳性小說《青雲之軸》（1974）、自傳《半路上》（2003）二作，揭示作家如何在戰爭記憶、身分認同及自我敘事之間建構並辯證「我」的存在，以探究置身帝國和民族邊緣的成長記憶與主體形構。跨越1945年終戰且具日本、臺灣兩地生活經驗的陳舜臣，其自傳性書寫在個人生活紀錄與時代觀察之外，更刻劃了終戰前後持續變動的日本、臺灣社會面貌。承此，陳舜臣自傳性文本的探討意義，不單是映顯臺人戰爭期世代身分統合與戰爭記憶的研究線索，亦是移居至日本內地的被殖民者之獨特自我敘事類型。

Autobiographies base their narratives on memories but are not continuous records of historical facts. Rather, they are built on the interaction between individuals’memories and society, and they involve the author’s self-presentation as well as reorganizing, selecting, ignoring, or forgetting memories. Thus, memories embody the remnants of individual and collective history. This study focuses on Chen Shun-chen (1924-2015), a Chinese writer who grew up in Japan, as a case study. It compares his autobiographical novels Qingyun zhi Zhou (1974) and Banlu Shang (2003) to reveal how the author constructs and dialectically negotiates the existence of“self”amidst war memories, identity, and self-narrative. The study explores the formation of the self and the growth memories of someone positioned at the periphery of both the empire and the nation. Chen Shun-chen, who lived in both Japan and Taiwan and whose life spanned the end of World War II in 1945, offers autobiographical narratives that not only record personal life experiences and societal observations but also paint a picture of the continuously changing societies in Japan and Taiwan before and after the war. Thus, the significance of studying Chen Shun-chen’s autobiographical texts lies not only in reflecting the identity integration and war memories of Taiwan’s wartime generation but also in offering a unique type of self-narrative among colonized subjects who migrated to Japan’s mainland.
