台灣社會「立字」形成的鏡與燈─「省政文藝叢書」中的現代化變遷書寫

Abstract

省政文藝叢書為一九六五年起，由台灣省新聞處以邀稿的方式，以宣傳省政建設為目的，所形成的一系列的文學作品，至一九八○年止，共計有作品七十四種。這些作品以文學的方式，記錄了台灣現代化變遷的過程，是一種鏡，然因官方出版的性質、參與作者投入的熱情，使得作品都有著高度的理想性與美好的結局，這又是一種燈，一種指引台灣現代化發展的明燈。黃仁宇在他眾多史學著作中，常以「立字」做喻，說明現代化變遷除了是立字上下兩端─上下層組織的改造外，最重要的是要在兩者之間，形成做為服務、經理而存在的組織、人員的中間紐帶，從而使上下層組織產生緊密的聯繫。而本叢書在表現政府施政成績之餘，更描寫了諸如基層公務員、農漁會等中間經理單位的作用與關鍵地位，這正符合了黃仁宇的相關理論。本文即以省政文藝叢書為研究、取例對象，並將說明叢書中的現代化變遷書寫，正符合這種「立字」形成的現象，實也是台灣現代化變遷的鏡與燈。
