詩人生活在都市文明裡，自然會將所見、所聽、所感反映在創作之中，因此透過都市書寫的探究，可以瞭解詩人如何描寫都市，及現代人與都市的互動關係。本文研究範圍鎖定在戰後出生第三代詩人（1965-19745之間出生），他們雖無前行代詩人的戰爭恐懼，或大中國式的鄉愁，然而在高度消費化的臺灣都市裡，生活中依舊存在著許多亟需解決的難題。因此，詩人們將自身的都市經驗，轉化成為創作的泉源，其內容並不止於景象的描摹，而是突破都市表層的絢麗，挖掘出更深層的都市本質，以及現代人的集體潛意識。他們承繼前行代都市詩的視野，在後現代潮流中批判現實社會，提出現代人的生存困境，而有更多自我私密情緒的展現。 透過作品的文本分析及文化研究的脈絡，本文在現實都市發展、社會脈動及文學場域、思潮的參照之中，展現詩人們對都市空間、時間及現代人的描繪與思考，並進一步評價臺灣戰後出生第三代詩人作品於臺灣現代詩之都市書寫的脈絡，以及在現代詩史上的意義。 本文回顧臺灣戰後出生第三代詩人自1985年至今約二十年的都市書寫，研究結果指出第三代詩人雖然在題材及藝術技巧上，有部分意象及形式是承襲自前行代之外，其描寫心態與關注焦點已不同於過去，而是開展出一個更為遼闊的書寫視野。 Poets are living in the cities write what they are conscious of in their works. By researching in the writing of the cities, we understand the poets describe the city, and the interaction between people and the city. This thesis studies the third-generation postwar poets in Taiwan (who were born during 1965-1974). Although the poets have no fear of wars, or suffer from the China nostalgia, they have to deal with many difficult problems in city. From the city experiences and the creation of poets, we can know that they describe the external scenery, and the essence of the cities as well as the collective subconscious of modern people. Poets of the third generation in Taiwan who follow the steps of senior poets, criticize Taiwanese society, and show their own feelings. By way of textual analysis and cultural studies, this thesis argues the writing of the cities in term of space, time and modern people. I would evaluate the writing of the cities by the third-generation postwar poets in the history of Taiwan Modern Poetry.
