The Narrative Research of Young Ladies: Dress from Eileen Chang’s “Legend” and “Lin Loon Magazine” / 《傳奇》與《玲瓏》的年輕女性服裝:以張愛玲小說與上海流行雜誌為例

碩士 / 輔仁大學 / 織品服裝學系 / 97 / This research intended to explore the issues on “fact” and “fiction” of the written clothing in Eileen Chang’s novel “Legend” and in “Lin Loon Magazine”. We have first conducted a content analysis and narrative analysis to describe the implicit characteristics of written clothing. Through reading “Legend” and “Lin Loon Magazine” interlextually, we have tried to understand the ideology of the author/editor, as well as the homogeneity, heterogeneity, and diversity displayed during the “reshaping” process of written clothing. The above discussion has then been relocated into the historical context of Shanghai in the thirties. Eileen Chang and the “clothing consciousness” of the written clothing of the young ladies in “Legend” and that of “Lin Loon Magazine” could help us understand why Shanghai citizens in the thirties identified with the “fashion consciousness” of that time. In addition, we have pointed out the similarity and discrepancy in the awareness and attitude between the “fashion consciousness” of Eileen Chang and her novel “Legend” and that of “Lin Loon Magazine”. With the exploration of “clothing consciousness” and the concept of “trendiness” in “Legend” and “Lin Loon Magazine”, we have reinterpreted issues on the era universality and individual creativity of modernity theories. Through the narrative analysis, we have realized that Eileen Chang’s written clothing has offered a unique perspective in the research of Chinese history. After comprehending the historical picture of the “juxtaposition of the Chinese and western style” and the “mix of the new and the old” in Shanghai in the thirties, we have now obtained a clearer picture of such a unique angle.
