本文擬採用「分斷」作為閱讀舒暢小說的另種分析進路,以把握小說中展現
的「寫實性」,特別是舒暢筆下涉及「隔絕」與「等待」的作品。本文認為這些
關於「隔絕」與「等待」的故事,都或隱或現地回應了分斷的歷史現實。舒暢依
稀寫出了一種或可名之為「隔絕―等待」的分斷體驗情感結構,而在這些分斷下
的隔絕與等待的故事裡,舒暢又特別關注底層外省男性的流離狀態,透過描寫這
樣一種性與性/別都不在家國打造的生存位置,顯示出婚家狀態和性的買賣與幽
閉的複雜度―事實上,舒暢的多則小說都置疑了構築家國體制基礎的婚姻家庭
連續體,這也正是舒暢小說之「寫實性」的關鍵切口:族群、階級、性/別……
的經驗從來不是可以被切割開來分別對待的「議題」,而總是作為個體複雜的身
分位置顯示出所謂的「差異」。本文認為,唯有從性/別切入,將舒暢的小說
放歸「分斷」的歷史現實,並置於族群、性/別與階級的視野中「整體地去思
考」,方能把握舒暢小說的特點,也才能理解其長年受到文學史忽視之於我們所
意謂的損失。

Class, Sexuality, Perversion: The Affection in “Division” in Shu Chang’s Novels

Abstract |

In this essay I choose to analyze Shu Chang’s novels from an
alternative perspective of “division,” a perspective adopted in order
to grasp the realism in his works—especially those involved with
“isolation” and “waiting” which, in explicit and implicit ways, reflected
the historical reality of “division.” Through these works Shu expresses
an “isolation/waiting affective structure in the experience of division,”
focusing particularly on the male lower class waishengren’s experiences
of drifting through life in Taiwan lacking family ties. Through depicting
such a strategy of survival in which both the subject’s sex and sexuality
are not located in a proper position as constructed by the family and the
state, these stories show us the complexity of the conditions of marriage
and family, trade in sex, and isolation. In fact, in many of his works, Shu
queries the “marriage and family continuum” that constructed the basis of
the family-state system. This is exactly the breakthrough achieved through
the realism in Shu’s novels: the experiences of ethnicity, class, sexuality,
and so on, have never been “issues” that can be treated separately on their
own; rather, these have always been intrinsic to the human being that exists
with complex identities and thus displays “difference.” Only through the
perspective of sexuality, while situating Shu’s novels back in the historical
reality of “division” and looking at them as parts of a whole picture that
consists of ethnicity, sexuality and class, can we grasp the characteristics
of Shu’s novels, and so understand what literary scholars have missed by
ignoring these works for so many years.
