臺灣日治時代漢文「武俠小說」研究--以報刊雜誌為考察對象

Abstract

本論文以「招式」為武俠小說的主要類型特徵，以報刊雜誌為考察對象，探討誕生於1920年代上海文壇的武俠小說，如何進入日治時代的臺灣讀書市場，以及這個小說類型的社會約定是如何在流行文化與主流意識形態的雙重影響之下建立起來的。另外，本文以臺灣日治時代報刊雜誌所連載的中國作品，及臺灣作家自創的武俠小說為考察對象，探討武俠小說的本土轉化，以及本土作家的特殊趣味傾向。本研究發現上海作家所撰寫的武俠小說，自1930年代起在《三六九小報》與蘭記書局的共同合作之下，傳入臺灣的讀書市場。而且武俠小說是繼武俠片與武術圖書之後，第三個大量進入市場的武俠流行文化產品。至於武俠小說的本土轉化，臺灣本土文人在趣味追求與讀物選擇方面，似乎傾向於否認武俠小說類型的奇幻色彩，卻陷入了一種不知如何做到武功「實寫」的困境。

Wuxia novels (also known as 'martial-arts novel'), a popular genre of Chinese trivial literature, was originally created by novelists in Shanghai in 1920s and its popularity soon spread to other areas with Chinese speaking population, including Taiwan which was under Japanese rule at that time. This study used the concept of 'Zhaoshi' to analyze how this genre was introduced into the Taiwanese readers’ market, and how its social convention was establish under the double influence of popular culture and martial-arts ideology. Furthermore, I tried find out how the wuxia genre was receipted and recreated by local writers in Taiwan during 1940s. The results show that wuxia novels were introduced in the Taiwanese market right after wuxia movies and martial arts books, which both also belong to the wuxia popular culture. Under the influence of the ideology of modern Japanese budo, local authors tried to develop some kind of more realistic 'wugong', which was in contradiction to the basic concept of wuxia novels, which is characterized by its fantastic approach.
