Abstract
This paper attempts to discuss, by interpreting The Women and Family Weekly of the Central Daily News-one of the most important literary media in the postwar period, that how the female prose writers consolidate their traditionally sentimental image in the cultural sphere dominated by national consciousness. Moreover, I will examine how these writers apply different rhetoric strategies when surrounded by collective ideology/male discourse, of which I will emphasize the complex nature of the mutual constructive relation between social system and female subjectivity. The paper will proceed with two issues. First is to investigate how the female prose writers develop a response to the hegemonic dominant culture, which also helps clarify the mutual-constructive relation between the lyric writing and the official language policy, and position this lyric prose style as a unique aesthetic taste in the literary field in Taiwan. Next is to explore, by looking into these writers' literary and aesthetic activities, that how female subjectivity develops their own territory of discourse in this dominant cultural ecology. By concretely evaluating the value system that the lyric prose established in the early postwar period, we will further examine the complication and the dynamic process of forming the mutual-constructive relation between the dominated power and sexual subjectivity.
