3S Co-sponsored Event: Contemporary Voices in Sinophone Literature Lecture Series – 6th Session
華語文學的當代聲音系列講座第六講
Contemporary Voices in Sinophone Literature Lecture Series – 6th Session
書寫的困境與困境的書寫：黎紫書、馬華文學與當代世界
Writing in Adversity, Writing of Adversity: Li Zishu, Mahua Literature, and the Contemporary World
黎紫書作為馬華文學最具代表性的聲音之一，其影響力在整個華語文學乃至世界文學中的位置不可忽視。從《山瘟》對馬華社群在多元族裔政治中的反思，到《野菩薩》刻畫女性在社會轉型中的挑戰，從《告別的年代》裡國族歷史創傷與離散記憶的糾纏，到《流俗地》中市井人物的生存境況，她的書寫軌跡本身，便是一部與困境纏鬥的編年史。這些困境或指涉創作的方法（如何在困境中書寫），或偏向作品中呈現的主題（如何書寫困境本身），抑或兼顧馬華作家在華語語系文學場域中的「困境」位置。本次演講和對談將以「困境」為議題，與大家共同探討書寫和文學在當代華語世界中的困頓與堅守。

Li Zishu stands as one of the most representative voices in Mahua (Malaysian Chinese) literature, her influence resonating across Sinophone literary circles and world literature at large. From Shan Wen (Mountain Plague), with its reflections on the Malaysian Chinese community amid multi-ethnic politics, to Ye Pusa (Wild Bodhisattva), which portrays the challenges confronting women in the midst of social transformation; from the entanglement of national trauma and diasporic memory in Gaobie de Niandai (The Age of Goodbyes) to the existential conditions of ordinary lives in Liusu Di (The Worldly Place), her literary trajectory itself constitutes a chronicle of wrestling with adversity. These adversities variously concern the methodology of creation (how to write amid adversity), the thematic substance of her works (how to write about adversity itself), or the precarious position of Mahua writers within the field of Sinophone literature. This lecture and conversation will take "adversity" as its guiding theme, inviting audiences to explore with us the predicaments and perseverance of writing and literature in the contemporary Sinophone world.
