內藤湖南的文明與文化論邊境──以台灣與朝鮮相關論述為中心

Abstract

如果想要定義日本的近代可以說是件十分困難的事。不論如何，所謂的近代，對當時的日本知識領導層來說，猶如穿過一則綿延細長的，尋常為野獸通過道路的旅程一般。因此，如何對應擁有如巨獸一樣力量，猛烈地向東亞場域襲來的西洋文明浪潮，成為當時的日本知識領導層無法逃避的一項課題。對於誕生在近代透出曙色之時的知識人內藤湖南而言，所謂的近代是進行一項自我（日本）與他者（西洋�東洋）定位過程。在此意義之下，內藤的文明與文化論述可被理解為：一邊想望獸道盡頭出現的光亮，踏遍無數窮山惡水，終於走出獸途的一部紀錄。 在內藤湖南的先行研究當中，關於台灣與朝鮮的論述，多被簡化論述為：殖民者與殖民地關係。因此，台灣、朝鮮的論述與內藤的文化論述之間，似乎形成了一種無可奈何的斷裂。對此，本研究考察內藤湖南的文化論述，並試圖將其與台灣與朝鮮相關論述進行脈絡上的分析。

The frontiers in Naito Konan’s doctrine of civilization and culture: The case of Taiwan and Korea It is a very difficult task to define modern times in Japan. To the knowledge leaders in Japan at the time, the modern times seemed like a long journey for the beast to pass through. Therefore, how to deal with the powerful Western civilization that has been seriously attacked the East Asia was a necessary lesson for all knowledge leaders to learn during that period. To scholar Naito Konan who was born in the early modern time, the modern time refers to a significant process to position Japan and Western countries. With the association of this meaning, Naito Konan’s cultural theory can be explained as: a documentary about the country looking over the light from the end of the beast path and stepping on countless mountains and rivers before traversing the beast path. According to Naito Konan’s prior studies, the writings about Taiwan and Korean discourse are often simplified as: the relationship between the colonials and the colony. As a result, it seems as if a gap exists between Taiwan and Korean discourse and Naito’s cultural theory. This study will further investigate Naito Konan’s cultural theory and attempt to combine it with Taiwan and Korean discourse.
