彼岸花：1950年代後張愛玲的跨界文藝實踐 分享嘉賓 Speaker: 趙家琦 博士 Dr. CHAO Chia-chi 主持人 Moderator: 林姵吟 博士 Dr. LIN Pei-yin 日期時間 Date & Time: November 30, 2023 (Thu) 16:30-18:00pm語言 Language: Putonghua地點 Venue: CPD-LG.07, Central Podium LG/F, Centennial Campus, HKU 摘要 Abstract:張愛玲1950年後的文藝表現，多被視為無法媲及其戰時創作的高峰，並尚未獲得充分的關注。本次演講因此以「跨」為視角，來觀察、並闡論張愛玲的後期寫作在跨媒介、語際與文類的多元文藝成就。演講分三部分，首先以張愛玲改編自英國劇作的電懋劇本《六月新娘》為對象，耙梳該作與改編電影就羅曼史的跨媒介衍繹，並勾勒其折射的冷戰通俗文化。其次探討張愛玲對晚清吳語小說《海上花列傳》的愛情譯寫，並追蹤張與海外學術菁英的翻譯合作，打造出中國人情文學的衍播系譜。最後關注張愛玲的中文遺稿〈重訪邊城〉，論證她在冷戰下的台灣行與對當地廟宇的興趣，既展現了對漢族身世的南方想像，她對台灣的述寫也蘊含著與台灣鄉土藝術的交會。 Eileen Chang’s literary practice from the 1950s onwards is often deemed inferior to her wartime creations and has not received sufficient attention.
