  • 明清文學中的西南敘事(二版)

    The Southwest in Ming-Qing Literary Imagination

    by 胡曉真 ...
    Series Book 1 - 臺大哈佛燕京學術叢書
    ◎首開將「西南」帶入中國文學研究領域,具有學術前瞻性的難得之作。◎「西南」作為方法,意義不僅在於史地實證研究,更能捕捉書寫者面對西南複雜的經驗和反應。在明清文學中,「西南」正是文化、政治、戰爭、美學、地理、民族、性別等諸多問題的輻輳交點。從外地到此的文人,以不同的方式處理自然與人文景觀所帶來的陌生感,他們的作品深切結合文化的衝擊與交流,表現出複雜的美學、情感與思想特色,亦關乎近代中國的地理學熱度、思想的發展與新世界觀的形成。因此,在文學審美、情感深度、歷史意識、文化體認乃至對世界的認知等等方面,明清文人的西南敘事提供了一個因其邊緣性而益顯鋒利的切入點。全書共分為三編,第一編〈情感與世界〉描述明清文人面向西南、所展現的幽微心事以及世界觀。第二編〈戰爭與統治〉聚焦明清官員的戍守西南的紀實,包括明代田汝成《炎徼紀實》和清初田雯《黔書》等。第三編《性別、歷史與文化多音》則偏向傳統說部逸史 ...
