記憶寫作、日常生活與社會存在： 以詹宏志的懷舊敘事為例

Abstract

個人記憶如何裨益行動者在歷史中與其所置身的社會相接合，是本研究的核心關切。本文以「記憶即敘事」為概念基礎並發展分析框架，透過對敘事心理學與德國哲學家海德格在《存在與時間》中相關論述的援用，分析詹宏志的懷舊敘事，探索個人記憶、生命故事與社會存在間的關係。研究發現，對其而言，現在並不解釋過去，相反地，過去卻可以啟迪現在；扣問往事，於其來說，不只是心靈上的返家，更是精神上的歸鄉，那是朝現代邁進但尚未受現代控制的台灣。最終，作者強調僅有當過去和現在、個人與社會不再被視為兩種分離的存在，而是在社會學想像中的共同實踐，記憶與時間中的結構及能動面向方能同時展現。

The core concern of this study was how personal memories are involved with the construction of social history. This paper used “memory as narrative” as a conceptual basis and developed a comprehensive framework. By appropriating narrative psychology and Martin Heidegger’s work on human beings and time, this research explored the relationships among personal memories, life stories, and social existence. According to his nostalgic narrative, Zhan Hongzhi believes that the present does not explain the past, but the past can inspire the present. He considered remembering the past as returning not only to an “emotional home,” but also to a “spiritual native land.” During that period, Taiwan was oriented toward social modernization, but the country was not yet completely controlled. The author emphasized that the simultaneity of the structural and agential dimensions between memory and temporality becomes possible only when the past and present, and agent and society are not thought of as two separate entities, which is common practice in the sociological imagination.
