軌跡與陣地：台灣千禧世代詩學生態

Abstract

本研究援用社會學家布赫迪厄（Pierre Bourdieu）與德塞托（Michel de Certeau）的理論，聚焦台灣千禧世代（出生於1980至1990年代）詩人的美學位置與場域軌跡，以二十一世紀的現代詩場域為視野進行探討。除了第一章緒論和第五章結論，本研究以三章的篇幅分別關注台灣千禧世代詩學生態當中，三種文化形構所對應的三種美學位置。第二章討論作為主導文化的抒情傳統，針對「研究－創作」雙主軸的學院詩人，以及出身文學系所但未投身學術研究的抒情詩人，勾勒出千禧世代如何運用「台灣抒情傳統」的文化資本建構自身的詩學。第三章討論另類文化在敘事性的寫實想像，探尋詩人如何以各種身分認同的社會角色解構生活、以現代的公民身分進行寫實或非寫實的展演，以不同於以往的角度對台灣「本土性」或「共同體」的想像有所推進。第四章討論反對文化的網路流行詩學，著重「厭世情感」與「迷因文化」兩種功能取向，探討詩人如何在2010年以降的網路社群平台實踐德塞托的「弱者的藝術」，並且與國外Instapoetry的情況相互比較，整體性地觀察當代台灣由千禧世代詩人主導的「資本主義美學」是如何發展。透過宏觀的討論，本研究期待能以新的分析框架和現存詩史論述進行對話，更即時地回應、論述當代台灣文學場域的種種現象。

This study employs the theoretical frameworks of Pierre Bourdieu and Michel de Certeau to investigate the poetic culture of the millennials (individuals born between the 1980s and 1990s) in Taiwan. With the exception of the introductory Chapter One and concluding Chapter Five, this study comprises three chapters that respectively delve into three distinct aesthetic positions within the poetic culture of Taiwanese millennials, corresponding to various cultural formations. Chapter Two scrutinizes the lyrical tradition of hegemonic culture. It delineates how millennial poets, including those embedded within academic institutions and others hailing from literary backgrounds yet refraining from scholarly pursuits, harness the cultural capital embedded within the “Taiwanese lyric tradition” to cultivate their poetic sensibilities. Chapter Three delves into the realm of “alternative narrative” and its realistic imaginings. It explores how poets deconstruct everyday life through the lens of various identity affiliations, assuming roles that reflect contemporary societal citizenship, thereby engaging in authentic portrayals. This chapter aims to reimagine “locality” or “community” in Taiwan by examining how poets navigate and contribute to these constructs through their multifaceted expressions of identity within the context of modern society. Chapter Four explores the Taiwanese popular poetry as oppositional culture. It accentuates the dual thematic elements of “world-weary structure of feeling” and “meme culture,” probing into how poets, particularly in the post-2010 era of burgeoning online social platforms, embody the ethos of the “art of the weak.” Additionally, it juxtaposes these phenomena with the global Instapoetry trend, offering a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of contemporary Taiwanese poetry under the stewardship of millennial poets. Through this macroscopic discourse, the study endeavors to rectify prevailing inaccuracies within extant poetic historiography while providing timely insights and analyses of diverse aesthetic phenomena manifesting within the contemporary Taiwanese literary landscape.
