Examine And Criticize Nishikawa Mitsuru, A Japanese Colonial Writer In Taiwan During The Period Of Japanese Occupation, From A Literary Standpoint--Start Off From His Literary Works About Taiwan

Nishikawa Mitsuru, a Japanese writer, who was in Taiwan during the period of Japanese occupation, is one of the main members of Imperial Literature (Huang-min Literature). He is a surplus writer located in the brim region of both Japanese literature and Taiwanese literature. On behalf of the supremacy from Japan, he is a criminal who did harm to the Taiwanese culture, meanwhile, he also became the victim of Political Literature.The poems of Nishikawa Mitsuru were deeply affected by the aestheticism. He described the scenes and the custom in Taiwan, expressing his impression of Taiwan and his longing for the life of Taiwan. He seeked the Exoticism different from Japan, cherishing a foreigner's psychology of hunting for novelty in china.But his writing was always in the paradox: on one hand, he pursued the purity of aesthetic literature, on the other hand, because he was affected by the social circumstances and the nationalism, he couldn't attain his object of aestheticism.Nishikawa Mitsuru was not only a writer but also a colonist, so he had double identities and double characters. He was affected by the writers of modernism from France and Japan, and he was one of the early writers who brought the style of western modern literature to the Taiwanese literary world. His novels indicated the modern narrative tactics: He interpreted the human cultural scenes of Taiwan, unconscious of having used the New Historicism. His novels showed the compound of the Naturalism of France, the Naturalism of Japan and the Japanese Private Fictions. There was an atmosphere of the Mysticism originated in primitive religions. There were shadows of the Japanese New Sensualism psychoanalysis. However, the novels of Nishikawa Mitsuru couldn't chuck the restriction of narrating the stories in the mood of The Other, under the influence of exoticism.Nishikawa Mitsuru collected, did up or wrote some literary works about Taiwanese custom, too. The cultural phenomena of Taiwanese custom, which were thought by him as The Exoticism Of South Japan, were highly like or thoroughly same as the culture of South Fujian Province. The essence of the Taiwanese custom is the extension of the Chinese Continent Culture. So, the effect of literary works was against the author's object of colonization. The seperation of Taiwan from mainland China, the seperation of Taiwanese custom from the custom of mainland China, and the seperation of Taiwanese culture from Chinese culture, can never work. Against Nishikawa Mitsuru's aim, his literary works about Taiwanese custom substantially denied the correctness of the Cultural Colonialism.The thesis tries to set up a system of object criticism, through probing into the poems, the novels and the literary works about Taiwanese custom written by Nishikawa Mitsuru. A truth-seeking, object, calm analysis and criticism is made on this characteristic writer in the characteristic period. The academic historical literary inspection overthrows the mistaken viewpoint of Cutural Colonialism Is Correct and Taiwanese Culture Is Independent. Consequently, the lies of Japanese Invasion Beneficial To Taiwan and Japan And Taiwan Comprise One Family are repelled and shaken thoroughly. So the thesis tries to set up a system of object criticism,meanwhile, repel the idea of Independence of Taiwanese Culture and so-called Japanese Invasion Beneficial to Taiwan .
