「九二海戰」之官方建構

Abstract

「九二海戰」為「八二三戰役」期間，我海軍與中共發生在金門附近的夜間海戰，這場戰鬥即便兩岸對於戰果上有不同論述，在經過我方對形象的建構與宣傳後，成為了反攻復國勝利的第一仗，所創造出的海軍「台海精神」更堪比陸軍「黃埔精神」及空軍「筧橋精神」。\n本文以形象的相關理論，結合我國防部檔案中敘述當時士氣低落情況，藉此重新詮釋「九二海戰」。作者認為該戰役為一個形象建構的過程，是戰後以圖像、性別、慶功宴、及紀念塔，所建構出的勝利。其次，以每年對「九二海戰」紀念日的宣傳為基礎，分析相關的印刷品及慶祝大會，認為實質上是反映出對於官士兵的規訓。本研究認為即使「九二海戰」的戰況並不清楚，但從過去到現今，隨著時間與政治環境的演變，卻隨時有新的詮釋。

The “Naval Battle of September 2nd” was a cross-strait naval battle at midnight near Kinmen in 1958. There are different discourses on the result of the battle, however, in Taiwan’s propaganda, it becomes the first significant victory of the Navy, comparable to that of the Army and the Air Force.\nTo analyze this battle, this article uses the theory about image to review the low morale situation described in the archives of the Ministry of National Defense, then to reinterpret the “Naval Battle of September 2nd”. The author believes that the battle is a official-image construction process, a victory that was constructed from images, gender, celebration banquets, and monuments after the war. Moreover, this article studies the printed materials and ceremonies of the “Naval Battle of September 2nd”, arguing that these publicities essentially reflect the discipline of the Navy. This study contends that even though the result of the “Naval Battle of September 2nd” is not clear, but it is very clear that there are new interpretations with the evolution of political environment.
