梁寒衣佛教小說研究

Abstract

臺灣現代佛教文學領域中，梁寒衣跨足多種文類的創作，對技法與義理高度掌握。同時涉及佛教文學的理論探討，將羅漢道至菩薩道修行進程的體悟，一以貫之地表現在作品當中，並以其總攝佛教文學的價值精神，可說是該領域的指標性作家。此外基於反寫實的訴求，梁寒衣揉雜運用意識流、魔幻現實、拼貼等小說技法，使其有了異於理論本色的表現。她的小說技法、內容都保持開放與彈性，無疑正是後現代的重要特徵。也因此打破臺灣文學場域現代→寫實→後現代的線性迷思，浮現現代與後現代一脈相承反寫實的思路，進而回應了80年代究竟是「後現代或後殖民」的問題。過往關注梁寒衣的導讀性文章很多，卻鮮少實際切入文本作技法與義理的深度討論，因此產生部分偏頗的評語。本文將研究範圍鎖定梁氏的佛教小說，透過新小說文學理論、現代佛教文學場域以及敘事學的方法面向，從佛教文學與現代小說兩條線路，來回應其貢獻與特色。In modern Buddhist literature field territory, Liang Han Yi is no doubt the representing writer. At first, she is not only a novelist, but also an essayist, a biography writer. Besides, she highly controls different kinds of novel techniques, and accurately understands the Buddhism righteousness principle. Since she concerns about how Buddhism and literature blends with each other, she also has some theses focus on this issue. Finally, her realization of the practice process ─ from the Arhat said to the Bodhisattva said, is the main concern of her writing. She also takes the Bodhisattva said as the value and the spirit of Buddhist literature. In the modern novel history, Liang Han Yi’s novels intermix the stream of consciousness, the magic realism, and collage techniques. Out of counter-practical intention, these novel techniques have abnormal expressions. The techniques and contents in her novels full of openness and resilience, which is just the core spirit of the latter modernism. Liang Han Yi’s novels let us conscious that the modernism and the latter modernism come from the same origin─ counter-practical intention. In this way we can understand the Taiwan literature history all the better for responsing the question─ we make the latter modernism or the the latter colonizes to stand for the 80s. There are many theses discuss Liang Han Yi’s writing. But these past research results seldom deeply cut into the text. In this way, there are some biased views. This dissertation focuses on Liang Han Yi’s Buddhism novels. Observe them through the new novel techniques, modern Buddhist literature field territory, and Narrates study. In this way I can summarize Liang Han Yi’s contribution and characteristic in the modern Buddhist literature field territory and the modern novel history.
