林燿德散文论述的文学史意义——兼及台湾散文史书写的一些问题

The Significance of Literature History of Lin Yaode's Prose Theory——And Some Problems with the History of Taiwan Prose Writing

台湾学界的新文学史书写一直薄弱,散文史述更是弱项,但具有典范集成效用的文学大系和散文选本的陆续推出,不无建构微型文学史之功,亦可看做散文史述的前行准备。在1990年代中后期"重写文学史"思潮中,散文史思路逐渐凸显,其中尤为重要的是林燿德提出的观测台湾散文历史的"现代性"视角,他的观测不仅确立了台湾当代散文求新求变的现代文体品格,破除了长期主导台湾文坛的文类偏见,更对其后台湾散文史的书写方向起到引领作用。

Taiwan Academia is weak in writing the new literary history,not to mention history of the prose. The continuous publication of the comprehensive anthology as a model and the Selective works of prose has played an important role in constructing miniatures literary history,thus it also can be regarded as the foregoing preparation for the historical records of the prose. In the trend of thought in ＂Rewriting Literary History＂in the middle and late of 1990 s,the history of prose began to give prominence in its train of thought. More important Modernity perspective is to observe Taiwan Residents history of the prose,which was put forward by Lin Yaode. His observation not only has established the modern style for change and dissimilarity in the contemporary Taiwan Residents prose,but also has broken away with the prejudice dominated the Taiwan Literary world over a long time. What＇s more,his observation plays a leading role in the subsequent orientation of writing the history.
