note：誠如孟子所說的「頌其詩，讀其書，不知其人可乎？是以論其世也」，因此本課程的基調綰合作者生平與文本賞析作為兩個主軸線，強調文本（text）之詮釋與賞析必須加以脈絡化（contextualize）地結合作者之生平與時代方得以成。鑑於此，作者生平與時代的部分以紀錄片的方式呈現，力求企及社會學式的「現象學還原」捕捉文本書寫之時代氛圍與感覺結構。但容我強調本課紀錄片之放映絕非為了「殺時間」，請同學們在選課時勿誤認此課程設計背後之核心精神，此外，文本賞析的部分強調的是精讀、細讀（close reading），每週修課同學們都該充分有備而來分享讀後心得與紀錄片觀後感。簡言之，本課程不是「涼」課，非誠勿試，以免前來上課時覺得是在哈囉。

本課程以《他們在島嶼寫作》文學大師系列電影做為課程主軸，一方面以紀錄片做為媒介，以年輕導演的電影語言作為引路人，將台灣戰後最重要的作家介紹給同學，透過紀錄片，來了解更多作家的人生與創作；一方面研讀作家們的代表作品，掌握其文藝美學，希望透過作品的深入閱讀，重燃新一波的「文藝復興」。《他們在島嶼寫作》是二十一世紀台灣文壇最重要的文學紀錄，也是台灣影壇最深刻的文學電影。以紀錄片╱文學電影的視覺語言，呈現戰後台灣七位重要作家的創作靈魂，包括林海音、周夢蝶、鄭愁予、王文興、瘂弦、白先勇、楊牧。透過影像，本課程希望讓修課同學得以認識影響台灣文學幾個世代的重要作家，並參照作家們的重要代表作品之研讀，分進合擊，把文字、文學、影像跟電影融合起來，在迷人的光影敘事與文學歷史記憶中，讀到台灣文化的細膩與厚度，及戰後台灣的歷史與社會變遷之宏觀現代性進程。透過多元的文學作品，將本課程定位為一審美實踐，藉由文學作品的深入研讀、探討、賞析，希望能召喚出課程參與者成為審美的主體，甚進而展開文學創作。

note: Just as Mencius said, "When you praise his poems and read his books, do you know who he is? This is how you discuss his world." Therefore, the keynote of this course takes the life of the collaborator and the appreciation of the text as the two main axes, emphasizing that the interpretation and appreciation of the text must contextualize the author's life and times. In view of this, parts of the author's life and times are presented in the form of a documentary, striving to achieve a sociological "phenomenological reduction" to capture the atmosphere and sensory structure of the times in which the text was written. However, let me emphasize that the screening of documentaries in this course is by no means "killing time." Please do not misunderstand the core spirit behind this course design when choosing a course. In addition, the text appreciation part emphasizes intensive reading and close reading. Students who take the course every week should be fully prepared to share their thoughts after reading and watching the documentary. In short, this course is not a "cool" course, so don't try it unless you are serious, otherwise you will feel like you are saying hello when you come to class.

This course uses the "They Write on the Island" literary master series of films as the main course. On the one hand, it uses documentary as a medium and uses the film language of young directors as a guide to introduce Taiwan's most important post-war writers to students. Through documentaries, we can learn more about the writers' lives and creations; on the other hand, we study the writers' representative works and master their literary aesthetics, hoping to rekindle a new wave of "Renaissance" through in-depth reading of the works. "They Write on the Island" is the most important literary record in Taiwan's literary world in the 21st century and the most profound literary film in Taiwan's film industry. Using the visual language of documentary/literary films, it presents the creative souls of seven important post-war Taiwanese writers, including Lin Haiyin, Zhou Mengdie, Zheng Chouyu, Wang Wenxing, Wan Xian, Bai Xianyong, and Yang Mu. Through images, this course hopes to allow students to get to know the important writers who have influenced Taiwanese literature for several generations. By referring to the important representative works of these writers, they will be divided into groups to integrate text, literature, images and movies. In the fascinating light and shadow narrative and literary historical memory, they will be able to read the delicacy and thickness of Taiwanese culture, as well as the macro-modern process of Taiwan's history and social changes after the war. Through a variety of literary works, this course is positioned as an aesthetic practice. Through in-depth study, discussion, and appreciation of literary works, it is hoped that course participants can become aesthetic subjects and even start literary creation.
