Abstract

同志如何書寫家庭、如何面對家庭,是當代同志文學中難以忽視的一種表現。所以當家庭不斷被賦予安身立命、避風港等等想望時,對於同志來說那些想望之於自我實踐,可能是對反的另一面。於是親緣成了同志面對家庭時至為艱難的一道關卡。因此本論文欲藉由當代男同志散文的家庭書寫作為研究對象,欲關照身為男同志的敘事者,是如何透過書寫家庭,去爬梳自我情感的歷程,亦回溯雙親的身世,並探尋彼此創傷的源頭,而後進行關係與情感上的溝通與協調。 本論文將分別從兩個面向進行探討:文本中父子關係與女性親族之書寫。欲比較不同文本內,身為男同志的敘事者,在面對父親或女性親族,各自會呈現出何種樣態的互動關係,會是本論文的比較要點;另外,本論文同時也聚焦於「現身」後,將觀察文本內現身後的敘事者所採取的溝通方式,會如何影響其與家庭成員之間關係上的調整。循此,進而探討男同志散文的家庭書寫能傳達出什麼樣的意義,將是本論文的研究核心。
The way homosexuals face, and write about family is an inevitable expression in LGBT Literature. The idea of “home” is constantly imagined by mainstream society as the safe haven, however, it can mean the polar opposite in the reality of a homosexual person. Familial relations thus become a difficult emotional hurdle when the time comes for a gay person to face family. This thesis researches the family narration in Contemporary Taiwanese gay literature by analyzing gay protagonists and their emotional journey through writings about family. By digging through the past and examining the cause of emotional trauma in both themselves and the parents, the protagonists are able to repair the family relationship with communication and compromise. This research investigates two aspects of the family narration in Gay Literature: the father-son relationship, and the representation of female relatives. In an attempt to compare the interaction between gay men and the father figure, as well as other female relations, this thesis juxtaposes and analyzes gay narrators in multiple texts. This thesis also examines the effects on different family members and the changes in family dynamic after “coming out”. The core focus of this research is, then, to study the message and the significance of family narration in gay literature in contemporary Taiwan.
