| Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 中國文學系碩士班 === 96 === This thesis is a thorough study of the ocean writing of Hong-Ji Liao from 1995 to 2007. Broadly, the dissertation is divided into three major parts and aims to explore the environmental issues that the author concerns and confronts with and how he ponders over and reacts to deal with the harsh situation.
The first chapter is to give a full explanation of why selecting Hong-Ji Liao as the research subject and make clear how I’m going to organize and present my framework. As for the second, third and fourth chapter, in addition to respectively analyzing the characteristic style of the author’s works, I’ll also try to probe the ideas guiding his literary creation and see how stage by stage the author comes to realize man’s place in nature and attempts to broaden his horizons and deepen his cognition of ecological thought and awareness through systematically participating in environmental practices in the local community and incessantly re-examining the environmental discourse in Taiwan in the specific social and historical contexts. With regard to chapter five, it is conclusion.
In an overall view, the ocean writing of Hong-Ji Liao provides us a new look to observe Taiwan from an ecological perspective and helps us to shape and develop the environmental ethics and conservation philosophy of our own. There’s still a lot to do to promote the ecological awareness and movement in our society and Hong-Ji Liao’s texts are definitely the ones that can attract the attention of and open the discussion among the public.
