臺灣現代散文選集的典律想像（1999-2019）

Abstract

文學選集被認為是典律被具現化的一種形態。透過選擇與否，某些作品得以獲得保存或被更多人閱讀的機會，甚或形成經典。考察文學選集因此是探究典律的一條途徑。本論文即以臺灣現代散文選集作為分析對象，討論1999至2019年，這約二十年間臺灣現代散文選集所呈現出來的文化想像，以及這些想像反映出的編選者所依憑為準的散文典律。本論文以選輯典律（selective canon）的概念為立論基礎，並以較為宏觀的視野，分析現代散文選集各種被想像出來的典律。在章節的安排上，本論文依序針對套書選集、年度散文選集、編列散文名家，以及「七年級」散文選集當中的文學（史）觀、世代與時代立場、典律企圖與選輯特色進行考察。一覽臺灣現代散文選集的編選觀點及其實踐，並從中思索散文典律的被想像性。本研究指出，近二十年來的現代散文選集並沒有一種穩固而獨尊的散文典律。被臺灣文學場域中的各種典律規則運作所形構的散文典律，表現在現代散文選集上，往往是掌握了編選權責的相關工作人士，在選輯過程中，依其文化想像與意識形態的操作而成。臺灣的現代散文典律，被不同立場與班底、不同世代或時代的編選者，持以各種對於散文文類的想像，創造出多元歧異的書寫典律，進而呈現在各種選集上。換句話說，這些為現代散文進行典律化的成果乃是不同編選者各自的想像及其實踐，而非一種眾所認可的典律。

Literary anthologies could be a form in which canons are established. Being chosen, some works are preserved, have been more widely available, or even become classics. Therefore, examining literary anthologies is a way to explore canons. This study discusses the cultural imagination presented in modern prose anthologies in Taiwan from 1999 to 2019, and the canons on which the editors relied to reflect these imaginations.Based on the concept of selective canon, this study analyzes various imagined canons in modern prose anthologies in Taiwan from a macro perspective. Regarding chapter arrangement, this study examines the literary (historical) perspective of the series of anthologies, the generational/contemporary position of the annual prose anthologies, the canonical attempt to list the famous prose writers, and the editorial characteristics of the"post-1980s" prose anthologies. It provides an overview into the editorial perspectives and its practices of modern prose anthologies in Taiwan, and explores the imagined nature of the prose canon. This study points out that the prose anthologies in the last two decades do not have a solid and unique canon. The prose canons that have been shaped by the operation of various canonical rules in Taiwan literature are often manifested in anthologies of prose by the cultural imagination and ideological manipulation of those who hold the editorial authority and responsibility in the selection process. Taiwan's modern prose canons are created by editors from different positions, literary groups, generations, or eras, using various imaginations of the prose genre to produce diverse writing canons, which are then presented in various anthologies. The canonization of modern prose results from the imagination and its practice of different editors, not a universally recognized canon.
