1、虛擬與真實之間柯裕棻與陳雪的部落格與文學書寫Between the Virtual and the Real: Ke Yufens and Chen Xues Blog and Literary Writings李鴻瓊 Hung-chiung Li國立成功大學外文系博士後助理研究員本論文的重點在探討文學家如何回應現實的虛擬化，以及這個回應如何反應在她們的文學創作上。討論對象主要為兩位台灣作家（柯裕棻和陳雪）的部落格（設在中時電子報作家部落格http:/ 、陳的陳春天 ） 。從巴赫汀（M. M. Bakhtin）的角度來說，敘事是建立在真實生命故事的書寫上的，但隨著後結構主義作者已死說的興起，
2、真實被化約為論述的虛擬產物，而文學或語言也因此喪失中介或代現真實的能力。一般論者皆同意，公共與私人領域的劃分已無法解釋當代社會的結構與運作方式。虛擬化造成私人性的消失，同時也造成公共性的消失；其結果則是這兩個領域的疊合，而生命或真實則陷入真空與封閉狀態。柯裕棻與陳雪在部落格裡皆以較為親密的方式與讀者互動；這似乎使得她們的部落格書寫侷限在私人情感消費的層面，因而陷入網路虛擬空間的封閉性中。柯的部落格與小說書寫之間的分裂一方面呈現了這種封閉性，另一方面則反應了虛擬與真實之間無法溝通的斷裂狀態。而她小說的文體風格呈現一種散文與小說的無區分狀態，可以說是反應了後現代虛擬社會的特質。相反地，陳雪的書寫上
3、並未陷入現代社會私人性與公共性的區隔，也未陷入後現代私人性與公共性疊合所造成的無區分狀態。她的部落格書寫呈現了一種反向運作：透過真實（作者的社會性）的介入，切斷虛擬的封閉迴路，進而產生親密性的去個人化。換句話說， 被壓抑的社會性不是以反撲的方式造成災難性的無區分狀態，而是透過真實，在虛擬的網路空間中寫入斷裂因此產生分離虛擬的效果並保留了超越個人性的可能。因此，相對於網路空間的極個人化 （hyper-individuation） ，陳的部落格書寫似乎產生私人性的去個人化，讓語言重新取回接轉真實的能力，也讓真實的親密性產生超個人化 （trans-individuation）的面向。這個面向在她的小
4、說陳春天中有了較完整的呈現。一方面，小說以真實書寫（半自傳）為基礎，將論述納入敘事之中，溝通了個人性與群體性。另一方面，書中多所著墨在面具或名字與真實之間的斷裂以及和解；而最後在結尾處，陳雪對回家的處理顯然企圖勾勒一種再歸屬或再認同的運作方式。此外，透過她真實書寫的實踐，我們更可進一步發現奴隸 （沒有身分、面目的族群）如何透過敘事而保有取得正義的可能性。This paper aims at explicating how literary writers respond to the virtualization of reality and how their various respons

9、e pitfall of postmodern dedifferentiation. By introducing the social or the real into the virtual, she disrupts the closed circuit, disindividualizes the private, and furthermore trans-individualizes the personal. In Spring Chen, she initiates a practice of “real writing” by renarrativizing the discursive and transforming the semi-autobiographical into the trans-individual. Most significantly, the novel points to, on the one hand, the possibility of mediating the personal and the communal, and, on the other, the hope of re-identification and justice.
