以史论政:王晓波的日据台湾抗日史论述与政治诉求

Politics Viewed from History: Wang Xiaobo’s Anti-Japanese History in Japanese-occupied Taiwan and its Political Appeal

台湾统派代表人物王晓波系中国哲学专业出身,经“保钓运动”而产生反帝民族思想,形成了“和平统一”的政见。为寻找台湾未来出路,其走上了日据台湾史研究之路。在戒严解除前,王氏主要从事反专制的民主运动,以日据时期的台胞抗日史作为其纠正台湾民族认同异化论述的首要历史资源。李登辉初次主政台湾时,由于统独矛盾成为台湾社会主要矛盾,且“本土化”逐渐成为台湾社会的主流论述,王氏此一时期的论述主要以《海峡评论》为阵地,以日据时期台湾抗日史的反殖民运动,建构统派“本土化”论述,为“本土化”正名。2004年,陈水扁再次主政台湾时,台湾社会政治出现一系列新变化,王氏为重建岛内统一动力,将论述重点落在建构国民党、台湾和祖国三者之间的内在连结上。王氏在上述不同时期的相关论述高度呼应当时的政治,意在与台湾当局竞夺台湾历史的诠释权,重塑台湾人的历史记忆,促进民主和统一运动。这充分体现了王氏以史论政,将学术研究与政治追求融为一体的特色。

Wang Xiaobo,a representative of the pro-reunification groups in Taiwan,was a professional in Chinese philosophy.Experiencing the“Defense of Diaoyu Islands,”he developed anti-imperialist national thoughts and formed the political view of“peaceful reunification.”In order to find a way out for Taiwan's future,he embarked on the road of studying the history of Japan-occupied Taiwan.Before martial law was lifted,Wang was mainly engaged in the anti-authoritarian democratic movement,taking the anti-Japanese history of Taiwan compatriots during the Japanese occupation period as its primary historical resource to correct the alienation of Taiwan's national identity.When Lee Teng-hui first took office in Taiwan,as the contradiction between unification and independence became the main contradiction in Taiwan society,"localization"gradually became the mainstream discourse in Taiwan society.Wang's discourse in this period,taking Straits Review Monthly as a battle field,mainly constructed the unification group's"localization"discourse to justify"localization"based on the anti-colonial movement.In 2004,when Chen Shui-bian took over Taiwan again,there were a series of new changes in Taiwan's social politics.In order to rebuild the power of reunification on the island,Wang focused his discussion on the construction of the internal connection among the Kuomintang,Taiwan and the motherland.Wang's related statements in the above-mentioned different periods highly echo the politics at that time,and are intended to compete with the Taiwan authorities for the right to interpret Taiwan's history,reshape the historical memory of Taiwan Residents,and promote democracy and the unification movement.This fully reflects Wang's characteristic of integrating academic research and political pursuit by discussing politics in light of history.
