远方与“我”:当代台湾旅行散文的自传解读

Distance with ″Me″: Autobiographical Interpretation of Taiwan Contemporary Travel Prose

随着当代台湾旅行文学的方兴未艾,"真实"与"虚构"这对矛盾所引发的文类问题,成为了当代台湾旅行散文发展道路上的障碍。文类问题包括游记内容是否要出自作者的真实经历、游记是否应包括游记体小说等。自传与游记都属于散文次文类,都具有书写的纪实性与回顾性,也都因真实与事实二者之间的关系而屡遭质疑。因此,自传领域的相关研究理论对旅行散文的研究颇具参考价值。自传领域的研究理论包括对自传记忆的肯定、对自我建构合法性的认同以及叙述自我与现实自我之间的互动关系等。借用自传领域的研究理论,来阐述当代台湾旅行散文中记忆与经验的相互作用、自我书写对自我的反身认识和旅行行为对返乡叙事的影响等问题,以此来说明经验的真实性和独特性对当代台湾旅行散文书写的重要性,这也为解读当代台湾旅行散文提供了参考。

The contemporary Taiwan travel literature is growing, while the complicated relationship between truth and fiction, together with genre problem, such as that of whether the content of the work should be based on the author′s life and whether the traveling prose should include novel, brings hindrance to the development of the traveling prose. Autobiography and travel notes belong to the second category of prose, both of which are questioned for the documentary and retrospective writing. In this way, autobiographical theory has reference value for solving the problems of travel literature. According to the affirmation of memory, the identification with self-construction, and the relationship between self and real experience in the autobiographical field, the interaction between memory and experience, the rediscovery of the self, and the impact of travel on writing can be clarified. The importance of authenticity and uniqueness of experience in traveling prose can also be stressed.
