國家暴力下的女性移動敘事：以聶華苓《桑青與桃紅》、朱天心〈古都〉、施叔青《風前塵埃》為論述場域

My dissertation discuses three writers’ fictions-Nie Hua-ling’s Mulberry And Peach, Chu Tien-hsin’s The Old Capital, and Shi Shu-ching’s Dust In The Wind. Focuses on the inscription of state violence in female fictions, the dissertation analyzes how female resist the violence system through individual migration to seek the possibilities of negotiation. Although those three texts were written at different times, they all have represented how a political system controls individuals in each period. Nie Hua-ling’s Mulberry And Peach reflects KMT government’s violent system in 70’s, moreover, this violent system’s set speaticularly to consolidate KMT’s political power. Chu Tien-hsin’s The Old Capital reveals the anxiety of the second-generation mainlanders in Taiwan, for the transferring political power. The reason that causes the anxiety implies criticism of the local regime. Therefore, my dissertation tries to explore the essence and definition of political violence. Another text－Dust In The Wind, mainly portrays Taiwan society during Japanese colonial period. This dissertation discusses how the state violence causes the female migration through overview of historical contexts from Japanese colonial period to KMT government, and how those female subjects negotiate with the political power by migration. This dissertation explores how those female writers reflect that the individuals are affected by history through their positions in texts. Therefore, I analyses how female resist, question, and negotiate the political system by mapping the state power in those texts. On the other hand, while female writers specifically describe the process of migration indicates that writing is power. Furthermore, those texts reflect female would face the direct ruing by state system and social structure if female cross the boundary from home to society. Hence, my dissertation also discusses how gender system is constructed in a society. Meanwhile, I analyze the gender culture in Taiwan to reveal whether those three writers using the female angle as the narrative theme or as the strategy of their representations.
