The study of Zhou Jin-pos Nostalgia

Yokoji, Keiko *

Abstract
In past studies of Taiwanese literature, the work of Zhou Jin-po(
1926-1996) was always described with words like imperial subject
literature or writing under the colonial government's thumb. But this
paper tries to disregard off the political views, and read the target text
Nostalgia ( ) carefully, for clarifying the concealed voice of this
writer during the war. The middle novel Nostalgia, published in the
magazine Literature Taiwan in 1943, belongs to the latter period of the
author s life. His most of works focus on the unstable identity of
Taiwanese during the imperial subject movement under the Japanese
occupation. And in his works, we can find that his descriptions of mental
conflict or contradiction become deeper in his later works. Especially,
his later work Nostalgia ( ) shows his hesitation and inconsistency.
Zhou Jin-po uses a Taiwanese local play, Zi-di-xi( ), as a motif,
and mixes the plays original Yi-lan( ) with his hometown Ji-long(
), creating a fictional place. In this place, Zi-di-xi( ) knives and
musical instuments, which symbolize Taiwanese life, are burned by the
fires of holy war of Japan. It shows us the feeling of the writer s conflict,
complexity, disappointment and silent criticism of the Japanese empire.

Keywords: Zhou Jin-po, Nostalgia, identity, the period of Japanese

occupation, imperial subject literature (komin bungaku)
