本講主要的問題意識在於：作為文學書寫的最重要動能之一，「衍生」的文學與文化是如何以其獨特的美學，去回應、體現當代跨地域、跨文化的語境，以及糾葛多變的文化政治？由於「故」事的新編往往是文學發展傳承的重要現象，故將以魯迅的〈補天〉、〈鑄劍〉為起點，兼及民間文化中的「哪吒」，探討「故事新編」在跨地域視野中的衍生流變，及其間的文化政治與非政治。

 

 

As an important source of creative energy in writing, how does “derivative” literature and culture develop an unique aesthetics of its own to respond to and reflect the complex and shifting cultural politics in the contemporary translocal and transcultural context?  As the retelling of old stories is a major phenomenon for the development and inheritance of literature, this lecture will use Lu Xun’s “Mending Heaven” and “Casting Sword” as the point of departure, while touching upon the “Nezha” figure in folk culture, to explore the derivation and transformation of retold stories in terms of their cultural politics and non-politics from translocal perspectives.
