论澳门地区散文中的地方叙事与国家认同

On Local Narration and National Identity in Macao Prose

作为中国版图内部一个特殊的“地方”,澳门地区的“本土”话语形态值得探讨。本文以“澳门文学奖”的获奖散文为例,通过分析其中的地方叙事与国家认同的关系,来呈现澳门地区对自身文化处境的思考。澳门地区华人在表达民族身份认同时,是藉由本地化的中国符码来完成的;而探讨地方性知识的终极关怀,在于追寻文化中国在澳门地区留下的印迹。这种对“国家”和“地方”双重认同的文化传统,既与葡萄牙的殖民模式、对澳门地区的殖民政策、澳门地区的地缘政治有关,也与澳门地区文学的生产机制有关。澳门地区文学的案例为我们重审港澳关系和身份认同等文化课题提供了进一步思考的空间。

The local discourse pattern of Macao,a special place within the territory of China,deserves in-depth study.Through the case study based on the prose that has won the Macao Literature Prize,this paper analyzes the relationship between local narration and national identity to present how Macao reflects upon its cultural circumstances.The Chinese in Macao show their sense of national identity by means of localized Chinese symbols,and the ultimate concern for exploring local knowledge lies in tracing the imprints of Chinese culture in Macao.The cultural tradition of dual recognition of the state and the region is not only related to Portugal’s colonial model and colonial policy in Macao as well as Macao’s geopolitics,but also related to the production mechanism of Macao literature.The case of Macao literature provides further space for us to reexamine such cultural issues as the relationship between Hong Kong and Macao and the sense of national identity.
