| 摘要: | 本文以張曉風在《九十年散文選》序中所說的：「美食散文至逯耀東一變。」作為出發點，從「生平與飲食散文創作歷程」、「飲食散文主題內涵」、「飲食散文藝術特色」、「飲食與空間關係」四個面向切入，以逯耀東四本飲食散文集為主，旁及散落在其他散文集中或未集結的單篇創作，分析逯耀東飲食散文與他個人生命史的關係、飲食散文中的美學及其背後的意含。 逯耀東以一個知識分子的角度，關切且分析他所生存的土地，他的關心層面廣泛，對歷史、社會、人群、教育的種種關懷和省思，甚至個人的生活感觸、人生體悟，國家定位以及民族文化等等，都是他所關注的層面。綜觀逯耀東飲食散文，主要有下列三項貢獻： 一、開拓飲食散文的新領域 二、讓庶民飲食走入歷史文化大殿堂 三、見證評論兩岸三地飲食文化變遷 1990年代以來，飲食散文的書寫者日漸增加，隨著飲食散文的大量出現，飲食作品良莠不齊，許多飲食書寫淪為飲食經驗的誇耀，或烹飪技法的迷戀，飲食散文的文學價值也隨之低落。在此同時，具有指標性的飲食散文，如逯耀東的作品，便顯得相當重要。它們標舉出飲食散文在文學上的美感高度，也讓後起的飲食散文創作者，有追隨甚至超越的目標。 逯耀東的飲食散文自我特色強烈，加上他飲食散文中對於飲食歷史的考證以及真誠的評論，閱讀起來並不輕鬆，其散文中深刻的考據性，更是其他飲食散文創作者難以模擬或學習的。但是，這便是逯耀東飲食散文的獨特性，這些獨特性獲得眾多評論家的認可，造就了逯耀東飲食散文在台灣飲食散文界的燦然成就與代表性，因此，逯耀東的飲食散文在台灣文學史上，不僅具有貢獻，更應有多方面深入的探究。 This thesis is inspired by the preface written by Zhang, Xiao-Feng in“ Essay Selection of Nineties” that she mentioned, “Style of diet essay had changed since Lu, Yao-Dong.” Centered in Lu’s four selections of diet essays, extended to his works in other essay selections and his articles that were not published in books, this paper analyzes the relationship between his works and personal life, the esthetic of his diet essays and the message behind.
