| dc.description.abstract | In the early postwar period, Taiwanese literature went through several line disputes due to political and social atmosphere and other factors. Compared with the attachment to the homeland, another kind of imagination of the new home is also emerging. Here, female writers even use ghost writing as one of the ways to fight against the traditional patriarchal culture. The use of ghost writing in the development of Taiwanese literature is not only due to Taiwan′s multiple immigrant backgrounds and island environment in its historical development, it has also become a projection of the fear of “losing roots” after leaving the homeland of the Central Plains. It has also become an opportunity for women to get rid of the shackles of traditional patriarchy.
In “The Cold and Cold Body”, the author uses his own experience as the axis to construct the storyline from multiple comparisons, including rupture／harmony, pursuit／escape, wandering／homecoming, etc. Therefore, in the analysis of this paper, the spatial journey of the protagonist Zhenhong in the book is used as the main axis of discussion, and the author observes the process of being a gay in Taitung-Taipei-returning to his hometown. The author wants to convey the desire of gays to repeatedly pursue identity in society, and The motivation behind choosing to return after being lost again and again in a different place, and finally how to find stability and identity through reconciliation with his father and childhood memories. Using Chen Sihong′s “Ghost Place” as a reference, we sort out the metaphors and strategic uses of the ghost-like situation of gay people in literature.
In the preface of Li Ang′s “Visible Ghosts”, he reveals that “Deer City” is used as a metaphor for the “ghost country”, and also as a metaphor for the chirping of ghosts everywhere outside the center of the great country. It writes about women who have bleak life experiences and died unexpectedly. Summoning the female spirits to return to Lucheng through writing is like the function of Foucault′s “heterogeneous space”. It achieves the expression of subjectivity by avenging oneself or fulfilling unfinished wishes during life. Using Li Ang′s “Possession” as a counter-reading, I hope to compare Compare the writing significance between women and folklore imagery.
When analyzing ghost writing in Taiwanese literature, in addition to close reading and analysis of the text, the author quoted Fan Mingru′s “spatial reading method” as a method to observe the literary metaphors hidden at the intersection of gender, space and literature. Compared with the core of patriarchy, women and gays are in a relatively peripheral position. Therefore, taking Zhenhong′s “Handan” and Li Ang′s “Visible Ghost” as examples, we analyze the significance of the ghost writing of gays and women, and more It can be seen that ghosts are feasible in breaking through time and space limitations and gender boundaries. | en_US |
