中文計畫摘要

　　【空間與文學】為一持續型、跨領域整合研究與教學之計畫，由國立東華大學郭強生教授擔任計畫主持人，於97學年初成立【空間與文學】研究室。

　　 【空間與文學】研究室首先以「女性書寫之空間性閱讀」為主題，開設學程課程，同時舉辦空間書寫與評論之系列活動，其目的在於開創文學閱讀與評論之新方向。有鑒於臺灣文學評論中較缺乏田野調查之研究方法，【空間與文學】研究室將透過移動式教學與研究，配合文本展開相關特定空間環境與地理之參訪，擴大文學之空間想像與深化領域整合，於未來發展更多研討系列。

　　本計畫執行時包含「空間與文學學程：女性書寫系列」與「空間書寫與評論研究社群」兩項子計畫，彼此相輔相成──

　　 空間與文學學程：女性書寫系列

　　 【空間與文學】學程內容分為「漫遊與城市」、「生態與記憶」、「身體與文化」和「醫療與生死」四個單元，分別著重空間閱讀中建築、生態、身體、疾病四個面向，邀請國內外教授、學者採跨校合作方式開設課程，閱讀研究之文本橫跨中、西方作家，而於每一單元必包含一次田野調查式教學。此一特殊課程設計亦配合第二項子計畫，以擴大研究交流平台，強調多元化的課題探討，從文學閱讀出發，最後觀照臺灣空間書寫之未來，訓練學員關懷環境的文化涵養。

　　 空間書寫與評論研究社群

　　 該子計畫內容主要在於推動國內空間與文學研究交流，更重要的是以「移動社群」之概念強調文學研究對國內人文空間地理發展之重要。此一社群之經營包含三部份：實境參訪、學術交流、網頁與出版。除學者專家參與外，並邀請國內重要作家針對走訪地點與研究者對話，最後以出版研究論文專書與創作文集作為文學關懷社會之實踐示範，而同時也將透過此一社群舉辦讀書會、系列演講與其它各類型學術交流活動。

英文計畫摘要

　　“Literature in Spaces” is conceived as a continuing project of interdisciplinary teaching and researching, beginning with “Spatial Readings on Female Writings” as its initiative theme. To stimulate and develop new research interests, it integrates field work into literary criticism through designs of mobile classroom and investigation-on-location, by which text readings are complemented by visiting theme-related environments and spaces. The purpose is to broaden literary horizons in spatial imagination and deepen the integration of different domains. As part of the project, Laboratory on Space and Literature assures further researches in this boundary-crossing exercise that intends to explore more spatial themes in diverse writings from queer to postcolonial. In addition to contributing to the development of literary studies, the project will enhance qualities of humanities and cultural energy in those integrated fields. As for the implementation of the present project, two linked and complementary sub-projects will be its main activities. The sub-project of the module “Literature in Spaces: Spatial Readings on Female Writings” consists of a curriculum divided by four topics: body, ecology, architecture, and illness. Courses will be offered by well-known scholars and to intercollegiate participants. They are conducted in the manner of an intensive summer program at National Dong Hwa University and other locales as well, for in each pedagogic category there will be one course requiring field trip. This particular design works together with the second sub-project “Spatial Writing and Criticism” to solidify an exchange platform for both scholars and writers. The curriculum starts from reading and analyzing texts, moving toward environmental awareness, and ultimately intent on promoting diversity of our domestic writers’ works on spaces and geographies.

　　 Therefore, the second sub-project not only encourages the formation of research groups but also advocates the concept of mobility, emphasizing the significance of spatial and environmental writings in our domestic culture. The missions of this literary group include landscape exploration, academic exchange, website construction and publications. Since highly recognized female writers in Taiwan will join the dialogues with scholars on field trips, this sub-project aims to produce two books for publication in the end, one a collection of scholarly essays and the other a collection of creative writing, both demonstrating the social and cultural concerns behind the practices of literary studies. Meanwhile, scholarly symposiums and conferences, speeches and other related activities will be organized as part of this second sub-project.
