Alienation and Identification – A Discussion and Study Based on Mazu’s Bodyguards / 疏離與認同-以《海神家族》為主要探討文本

博士 / 佛光大學 / 文學系 / 98 / Abstract

  At present most attention and discussion on 陳玉慧’s Mazu’s Bodyguards from the academic circle focus on the family’s story extending outward and overlapping the country’s fate (family to nation). In my point of view, this kind of discussion regretfully does not refer to the alienation and depressed relationships between people in modern world.
  I saw alienation between people in modern society in the whole alienated content. Why do tragic lives keep coping to the next generation and cannot be got rid of? Why must one leave? Why is every single character so lonely? Why cannot the thirst for being loved, identified and cared be satisfied throughout the time? Why cannot be accepted when the characters love other people with all their love? Therefore I focus on how a subject looks upon his/her own and family situations and deconstruct the alienation in Mazu’s Bodyguards from objective psychological points of view. This dissertation starts from the author’s semi-autobiography and discusses alienation between men and women’s love, generations and in-law relationship, followed by the author’s life history, compare the alienated topics in the author’s proses and novel, brings out the alienation and identification between the author and other people, and analyze where the root of 陳玉慧’s alienated homeless feeling and pessimistic life is. And then I analyze the relationship between alienation and subject’s self identity. In my point of view, in order to analyze the alienated situation, we have to start from constructing one’s self subject and search for the answer in one’s inside world. Only after recognizing self’s ‘position’, adjusting the interactive attitude between the subject and the outside environment, establishing closer relationships with other people starting from a health self, one subject can truly escape from the alienated relationships. He/she then can reach his/her own peace and comfort in life.
