Abstract as per original application
(English/Chinese): |
This project investigates literary fields of Taiwan and Hong Kong in the 1960s, and the dissemination and reception of literature via literary publications across Taiwan and Hong Kong during the 1960s to 70s, with the Hong Kong versions of Chun wenxue (Pure literature) and Wen Xing Cong Kan as examples. Wang Jingxi (1932-2008) was chief editor of these publications. Wang studied in Taiwan after completing secondary education in Hong Kong. He returned to Hong Kong and founded the Zheng Wen publishing house and published Hong Kong version of Chun wenxue , and introduced Wen Xing Cong Kan series from Taiwan via his Wen Yi Bookstore which opened in 1968. After Wen Xing was banned in Taiwan, publication of Wen Xing Cong Kan continued in the name of Wen Yi Bookstore. It was owing to Hong Kong version of Chun wenxue that Hong Kong readers could came into contact with works by writers such as Yin Hai-guang(1919-1969), Li Ao(1935-), Bo Yang (1920-2008), Pai Hsien-yung (1937-), Yu Guangzhong (1928-), etc. This is why Wang was also known as the "bridge between cultural scenes in Taiwan and Hong Kong." On the other hand, his poor management led to accusation of not paying royalties to the authors and infringements of copyrights. What Wang created from the mid1960s to 70s was a complicated case regarding cultural publishing. This project aims to investigate the significance of Wang Jingxi in the dissemination of literature across Hong Kong and Taiwan, and in the fields of literature.
本計劃擬以王敬羲主編之港版《純文學》及港版「文星叢刊」為例子，研究六十年代臺、港文學場域，以及六七十年代臺、港兩地文學出版所涉的文學傳播與接受課題。王敬羲（1932-2008）早年在香港完成中學課程後到台灣升學，回港後透過他開設的正文出版社，出版《純文學》（香港版），又透過一九六八年開設的文藝書屋引進「文星叢刊」，以至當「文星叢刊」在台灣被查禁後，以文藝書屋名義在香港延續出版，許多香港讀者透過港版《純文學》接觸台灣文學，透過文藝書屋讀到殷海光、李敖、柏楊、白先勇、余光中等作家著作，因此，王敬羲被視為六、七十年代「港台文化橋樑」。但另一方面，他未能妥善處理版權和版稅事務，屢屢被指責不予作者版稅、損害知識產權，王敬羲在六十年代中至七十年代所造成的，是複雜的文化出版事件，本計劃擬全面探討王敬羲在臺、港兩地的文學出版流佈，以及文學場域上的意義。
