“市镇小知识分子”的家国伦理--试论陈映真早期的家庭书写

The Family Ethics of Small Town Intellectuals:On Chen Yingzhen's Early Family Writing

陈映真将自己早期的创作定位为“市镇小知识分子”的写作。这一特性突出地体现于他最早的三篇以“家”为题材的小说中,即《家》《故乡》《死者》。在这三篇小说中,“家”构成了个人与历史联结的中介,表现出封建性、殖民性(或半殖民性)与市民性对于主体的历史规定性。这些小说虽然表面上借用了现代主义“异乡人”的叙事模式,实际上却具有初步的政治经济学思考,揭示出战后台湾市民社会的畸形构造,以及知识主体所置身的历史条件。

Chen Yingzhen defined his early creation as the writing of the“small town intellectuals”.This characteristic is prominently embodied in his three earliest novels about“home”,namely,Home,Hometown and The Dead.In these three novels,“family”constitutes the intermediary between individual and history,showing the historical stipulation of feudalism,colonialism(or semi-colonialism)and citizenry for the subject.Although these novels borrowed the narrative mode of modernist“stranger”,they actually had preliminary political and economic thinking,revealing the deformed structure of the civil society in Taiwan after the war and the historical conditions in which the subjects of knowledge were exposed.
