University of Sydney 5pm, Monday, 26 August 2019SLC Common Room, Brennan MacCallum Building A18, University of Sydney This talk will be given in Mandarin. 林婉瑜，1977年生，台灣台中人。她的詩大多是抒情詩，尤其偏重於對愛情的描寫，以日常生活為場景，藉由自由活潑的想像與優美流暢的文字，呈現信手拈來的機趣，使愛情顯現生活化與流動的特質。本次演講將以女性主義觀點為依據，探討林婉瑜如何以女性主體的位置，書寫有關愛情的多種感覺，並且和日常生活融合在一起，表現她個人的獨特風格。 從女性主義觀點來看，女詩人書寫愛情，大多是被動式的等待，對愛情十分執著，依附在男性身上，因此常常表現為創傷、憂鬱的情感。女性主義思想也鼓勵作家書寫身體和情慾，用來打破女性在愛情中的被動狀態，從而建立女性的主體位置。林婉瑜對愛情不是被動式的等待，而是以｢我」為主體，表達｢我」對愛情的嚮往、愛慕、愉悅、猜疑、焦慮、幻滅、頓悟等，主題相當多元。而詩中的場景，少見戰爭、死亡等生離死別的大議題，反而常見的是日常的生活空間，例如城市、街道、咖啡館、校園、夜市等，也有抽象或後設的情境，例如星空、夢境、網路媒體、大雨來臨時、雷電襲擊時以及在｢時間」之流中的想像與叩問。但林婉瑜不直接描寫身體與情慾，她仍是著重在心靈與想像的層面，抒情意味濃厚，因此被稱為是台灣當代優秀的抒情詩人。林婉瑜的情詩，突破以往女詩人書寫愛情的模式，在抒情的筆調中，仍經常顯現女性主體的思考，她具有自己獨特的風格，也建立女性詩歌文化的另一種模式。 Yuyu Lin was born in 1977 and lives in Taichung.
