本書簡介

       本書以國族論述、性別政治與資本主義的三元辯證，透過文本細讀的方式，重新詮釋1970、80年代的鄉土小說，包含陳映真、黃春明、王禎和、王拓與楊青矗的重要作品。作者從鄉土文學論戰的「殖民經濟論述」出發，不只重新檢視關於臺灣經濟體制的爭辯，更試圖闡釋文學如何「反映」與「回應」當時的國內外政治與經濟情境。最後，本書提出「經濟殖民主義」（economic colonialism）的概念，強調階級作為第三視角的必要性，以及新一波的後殖民論述乃是臺灣社會在面對新的歷史情境與全球化的挑戰時，不可或缺的思想資源。

Synopsis

        At the onset of the twenty-first century, postcolonial theory that has been indiginized in Taiwan for nearly three decades is far from losing its discursive significance. Postcolonial theory was first introduced to Taiwan in the 1990s, and since then, it has continued to generate considerable academic interest, informing debates about feminism, queer theory, and aboriginal studies.

 

        While postcolonial theory in Taiwan has occupied an important discursive space within the field of literary criticism, one important dimension that seems missing from the debates is class. By embracing the trialectics of national discourse, gender politics, and critique of capitalism, this book seeks to explore the degree to which the concept of class informs Taiwanese nativist literature by writers such as Huang Chunming, Wang Zhenhe, Chen Yingzhen, Wang Tuo, and Yang Qingchu. It further hopes to illustrate that the term of “colonial economy” that featured prominently in the debates over Taiwanese nativist literature in the 1970s underpins the way nativist literature reflects and responds to the politico-economic circumstance at home and abroad.

 

        By way of close readings of representative works of nativist literature, this book rethinks the efficacy of applying the discourse of “economic colonialism” to twenty-first century Taiwan. By combining the postcolonial discourse with an alternative perspective on class, the author hopes to propose a new discursive framework to discuss the challenges posed by a new military and economic power not far from Taiwan that increasingly exerts influence over Taiwan’s political autonomy.
