涓涓細流，匯聚江河
「騰飛的歲月──1949年以來的香港文學」 研討會

"Years of Flying High:
Hong Kong Literature since 1949"

新聞稿

中國文學，歷久彌新，基於歷史、地緣因素產生了不同地域的文學作品，雖然各有發展軌跡，但同時亦互為影響。近百年以來，中國文壇在中西文化的衝突和新舊文學的交替下發展。自1949年建國以後，能繼承民國初年西學風氣、兼容傳統中國文學理路、促進中西文化交流的，首推香港。不少論者直言香港文學在中國現當代文學中扮演了舉足輕重的角色。

由香港大學中文學院主辦、香港藝術發展局贊助的「騰飛的歲月──1949年以來的香港文學」研討會將於2008年4月28日至30日在香港大學舉行，屆時三十多位來自內地、台灣及本地的學者及作家將雲集香江，共同回顧及探索香港文學的發展。

研討會除了有專家學者發表論文外，大會更邀得香港浸會大學文學院院長鍾玲教授、香港大學明德教授單周堯教授、香港大學中文學院李家樹教授、香港中文大學翻譯系黃國彬教授、嶺南大學中文系許子東教授等學界翹楚主持研討會。香港大學中文學院署理主任楊玉峰教授對是次研討會期望甚殷：「我們希望這次『騰飛的歲月』學術研討會，能對半世紀的香港文學作出深入探討，希望綜合與會學者的睿見卓識，使涓涓細流的香港文學，終可以匯成滔滔江河。」

研討會定於2008年4月28日（星期一）至30日（星期三）在香港大學本部大樓二樓畢業生評議會室（Convocation Room）舉行。歡迎各界人士參加，有意參加者可與秘書處聯絡，電話：(852)28592743/ 22415204，電郵：hayliu@hku.hk，網址http://web.chinese.hku.hk/recent%20events/25-1-2008-event.html。
