The lifelong authorship and practice of Chen Yingzhen (1937-2016) embody the contemporary intellectual and cultural issues of importance. His fictional creation was also a kind of historical writing in literary form, recording the stories of people in the Third World during the Cold War. Chen’s literary creation is closely related to the changes in Taiwanese society. It might as well be seen as a left-wing-based social writing and cultural critique, with some of the pieces being regarded as the“spiritual history”of intellectuals. Meanwhile, the various“backstreet characters”in his stories remain as intriguing images in readers’minds, calling for revisits and discussion. This paper will examine Chen Yingzhen’s fictions between the 1960s and 1980s, focusing on the group image of (leftist) females, while paying particular attention to the“sexuality penumbra”and“penumbra affect”flashing in Chen’s stories. Corresponding to the realistic quality of his work, this paper proposes adopting a“realistic”and“descriptive”reading, while citing the methodology of“penumbrae query shadow,”to expound the gender/sexuality in Chen’s writings, in order to have a dialogue with previous research that adopts“allegorical”reading strategies. This paper attempts to grasp“the stories of the rest”recorded in Chen Yingzhen’s fictions, and to point out how the“none-moral-judgement”narrative feature properly reflects Chen’s consistent left-wing stance. |
