碩士 / 國立中興大學 / 台灣文學與跨國文化研究所 / 102 / Due to the uniqueness of the islands, the literature on Taiwan’s offshore islands has developed an entirely different literary vision from Taiwan. Among these islands, the garrisons that came to be involved in the historical process of Kinmen and Penghu have become a local cultural landscape, shaping a particular yet common phenomenon in the literature on Taiwan’s offshore islands.
This study is divided into six chapters. First, the historical context of the literary works on Taiwan’s offshore islands has been sorted out to retrieve the social dynamics at that time, followed by the discussions on the garrison issue through the writing texts of Kinmen and Penghu writers. In the aspect of Kinmen, Wu Jun-yao and Huang Ke-quan’s works have been explored to know the association among the garrison, the nation, and the local society. In the observation of Wu Jun-yao’s works, the evolution of the history of the Kinmen garrison has moved towards the identity between the state and the nation, while the garrison experience in Huang Ke-quan’s works is actually his collective memory that embodies both the nation and Kinmen’s society. In the aspect of Penghu, two novels written by Lu Ze-zhi and Chen Shu-yao have been taken to discuss. Lu’s description of Penghu’s fisherfolk in “Wave of Whispers” has awaken the memory of collective scars caused by the garrison, bringing new interpretation to the so-called native land. Moreover, the conflict between collective identity and national consciousness in this novel also reflects the transformation of power relations in the social structure during that time. As for Chen’s “Liu Shui Zhang”, the entanglements between Penghu’s garrison and local residents, as well as the social issues between the military and women have been described through the writing of the writer’s childhood memories.
Finally, the similarities and differences of the garrisons between these two islands have been further explored to compare with the fictional garrisons in offshore-island novels. This study not only promotes the importance of the writing of garrison in offshore-island novels, but also creates a new way of dialogues for the literature on Taiwan’s offshore islands in Taiwan’s literary field.
