Localizing Surrealism:  A Cross-Cultural Study of Modern Taiwanese Poetry

超現實主義的在地化:台灣現代詩的跨文化研究 

Speaker

Cheng-Chung Liu, Professor and Chair, Department of Chinese Literature

National Taiwan University

This lecture will be delivered in Mandarin.

Description:

臺灣日常語言展現出混融的性格,台灣文學創作也充滿跨文化視域。以超現實主義在臺灣詩壇的流衍而言,便有三種路徑可說:一是殖民地時期以日本詩壇為中介 ,通過日文去吸收與創作。相對於歐洲的革命精神與日本的知性思維,殖民地的超現實顯現出一種病弱、壓抑的特殊樣態。二是戰後初期由中國大陸移居臺灣的詩人,主要受到超現實繪畫的啟發,再參考少量的中譯文獻,將視覺經驗轉譯為漢語的創作方法。三是嘗試融貫西方非理性思維與包含禪宗在內的中國傳統詩學,追求純粹經驗,以及化矛盾為和諧的技術。上述三種路徑相互交錯,使得超現實主義以混成的形象再現。
