ABSTRACT

After settling down in Kaohsiung, Yu Kwang-chung wrote a large number of poems relating to the topography and scenery of southern Taiwan. Using a “localisation” perspective, and based on the humanist geographer Duan Yifu’s “locality” concept and sociologist Maurice Halbwachs’ “collective memory” theory, this article attempts to explore Yu’s local experience:how the re-emergence and discovery of memory and imagination recreate themselves in a tapestry of verses that have become a literary work full of local characteristics. The author purports to position these distinctly southern Taiwan poetic compositions in a dialogue network reaching other localities around the world to establish their “local” and “Taiwanese” qualities.
