從浪漫愛的概念出發，本研究聚焦於青少女觀賞《暮光之城》系列文本的詮釋歷程，以理解《暮光之城》作為一種文學、影視文本類型，如何藉由吸血鬼愛德華與浪漫愛概念之呈現，促使青少女在與文本互動的過程中，對浪漫愛進行反思與想像。
「校園生活環境」是青少女接觸《暮光之城》的主要脈絡，透過對12位「暮光迷」進行深度訪談，研究者觀察到青少女主動「選擇」《暮光之城》文本，藉由文本的「使用」滿足個人心理與情感上的需求，此過程具有兩項意義：一來突顯「閱讀」是一主動行為，在青少女的生活中占有重要地位；二來帶出《暮光之城》具有之「補救性青少年次文化」概念，使青少女在幻想與想像層次彌補了現實中的缺憾。
由接觸《暮光之城》到以「暮光迷」自居，展現的是青少女和《暮光之城》文本在一個時間向度上的互動過程：青少女由找尋《暮光之城》與自身生活脈絡、情感相契合處，演變為對《暮光之城》文本進行解讀與詮釋。以「浪漫愛」框架探究青少女作為「暮光迷」的真實樣貌，研究者嘗試描繪當代青少女浪漫愛想像之藍圖，並以之與「現代浪漫愛概念」、「《暮光之城》再現之浪漫愛概念」進行比較，發現其中呈現出的差異，不僅是青少女自主思考性的展現，更是對於現代男性、對於風險社會下的愛情所進行的反思與批判：吸血鬼愛德華保守的性，象徵著女性在幻想層次對男性的道德呼求；在風險社會的時空脈絡下看「永恆愛情」，部分青少女將「找到自己生命中的愛德華」作為一種神話的行動典型，部分青少女則將「永恆愛情」的意義，由永生相守扭轉為「片刻勝永恆」的概念；現代青少女強調自我「主體意識」，要求自我主體性，不希望被戀人當做保護「客體」而是希望在「被愛」的同時更主動「去愛」。
每一個時代都擁抱一種他們所需要的吸血鬼，而吸血鬼愛德華的出現，或許正象徵著這個時代的人們對於愛情、對於尋求真愛不可得的焦慮與恐慌。透過「浪漫愛」框架觀看「暮光迷」，可發現她們之所以擁抱「浪漫愛」，之所以擁抱吸血鬼愛德華，背後皆具特殊意義；而青少女對於浪漫愛所進行的想像與反思，足以打破他人對「暮光迷」的刻板印象，具體展現身為「暮光迷」豐富而多層次的樣貌：「暮光迷」不僅是對愛情懷抱憧憬的女孩，更是一群對於現代愛情觀及其背後彰顯之價值具有挑戰、顛覆能力的女孩們。 / Based on the concepts of romantic love, the research focuses on teenage girls’ inner interpretation experiences when they read the Twilight series so that better understand how do the vampire images of Edward Cullen and the concepts of romantic love represented by The Twilight Saga stimulate young girls’ introspection and imagination of romantic love within the process of interactions with texts.
“The school life” is the main context for teenage girls to have contact with the Twilight series. In this study, the outcome of in-depth interviews with 12 “Twilighters” shows that teenage girls proactively “choose” and “use” The Twilight Saga to satisfy their mental and emotional demands. It reveals two crucial concepts: on the one hand, as far as teenage girls are concerned, “reading” is a voluntary action that plays an important role in their daily lives. On the other hand, The Twilight Saga symbolizes a “remedial subculture” that allows young girls to redeem their actual imperfection by means of daydream and imagination.
From just reading the Twilight series to naming themselves as “Twilighters”, this process indicates a timeline-interaction between teenage girls and The Twilight Saga. To begin with, young girls try to find out if there is overlap amid their life context, emotion demands and the Twilight’s love romance; however, as time gone by, they start to interpret and make comments on the text. Using romantic love as a frame to explore “Twilighters”, this research tries to portray contemporary teenage girls’ imagination of romantic love and then compares it with the concepts of contemporary romantic love and that represented in The Twilight Saga. The differences not only display the independent deliberation of young girls, but also reveal their introspection and criticism on men of nowadays and notions of love in this risky society. On the first place, Vampire Edward Cullen’s conservative notion of sex symbolizes women’s moral appeals to men at the imaginative level. Secondly, judging “eternal love” under the context of risky society, some young girls regard “finding their own Edward” as an action paragon of fantasy, while some of them try to reverse the meaning of eternal love from “happy ever after” to “the precious one is the eternity for a moment”. Last but not least, young girls try to strengthen their demands for subjectivity, so that they would rather be the one who is loved and love others at the same time.
Each era embraces one kind of vampire it lacks, and the appearance of Vampire Edward perhaps symbolizes the anxiety of modern people on their way of seeking true love. Through the frame of romantic love to observe the teenage “Twilighters”, the research finds out the reasons that young girls who embrace romantic love or Vampire Edward truly have some special meanings. Their imagination and introspection of romantic love, as well as their abundant images as “Twilighters”, both give them powers to reverse others’ stereotypes on “Twilighters”. “Twilighters” are not only the girls who long for love, but also the ones who have the ability to challenge and overthrow modern concepts of love and the value it manifests.
