论《人间孤儿》与台湾文化身份的建构

The Orphan and the Construction of Taiwan Cultural Identity

台湾戏剧《人间孤儿》植根于台湾人社会历史变迁中逐渐形成的主体意识,并进一步表达了对这一主体身份的诉求。戏剧运用叙述、拼贴等后现代手法,以及对历史叙述的解构和重构,通过对现实的批判和观照,试图建构台湾的文化身份。然而,这些解构性极强的形式技巧却以落入另一种意识形态而告终,所谓台湾文化身份仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。

Taiwan drama The Orphan is rooted in the Taiwan Residents subject consciousness which is gradually formed during the changing of social history and makes expression to this subject identity.It uses some postmodern writing techniques such as narration and composition and employs deconstruction and reconstruction in the narration of histroy.It tries to construct Taiwan＇s cultural identity through the criticism and reflection of reality.However,these forms of deconstruction which have strong skills are ended in another kind of ideology,and the so-called Taiwan cultural identity is still an unsolved problem.
