課程概述	本課程之重點在大量閱讀戰後臺灣小說之英文譯本，期能藉此深入了解從一九四九年以後到二十世紀末的臺灣小說之發展。在這個導論式的臺灣小說課程中，為了掌握選讀小說作品的主題、風格與思想，修課學生必須對每週所讀之小說作品進行討論與口頭報告，提出自己的初步感想與深入批評。此一課程分成兩個部分。在期中考前，我們會把焦點擺在五本重量級的英譯臺灣小說選集，其編者（包括齊邦媛、劉紹銘與殷張蘭熙等人）都是把「來自臺灣的中國現代文學」介紹給英語讀者的重要幕後推手。除了這五本選集之外，期中考前的最後兩週我們將介紹臺灣現代主義世代的小說家們。課程的第二部分，以黃春明與陳映真兩位小說家為開端（兼論Rosemary Haddon編的鄉土小說選集《牛車》〔Oxcart: Nativist Stories from Taiwan, 1996〕一書），兼顧小說運動（或流派）與小說主題的探討。因此，我們將討論臺灣在地的「後現代主義」與「女性主義」，並且對於來自原住民、馬華與同性戀小說家的「邊緣發聲」給予應有的注意。
課程目標	這門課的目標不只是要告訴同學們應該「讀些什麼」，重點也在提醒大家注意「該怎麼讀」的問題。根據韋勒克（Rene Wellek, 1903-1995）與華倫（Austin Warren, 1899-1986）兩人所合寫的經典文批作品《文學理論》（Theory of Literature, 1949）一書之啟發，我們了解到文學研究的兩個方式，其一是去了解文本本身的要素（包括情節結構、觀點與角色塑造等等），另一個則是把文本視為特定時空環境下的產物，因此選修這門課的同學必須去觀察與思考選讀文本與其產生時代裡種種衝突與變遷之間的關係（不管是社會、政治或文化的衝突與變遷）。如此一來，每個同學將能夠對臺灣小說形成自己特有的批判觀點，學會如何去討論臺灣小說特有的種種主題（包括流亡生活、自我認同、城鄉差距、歷史與虛構以及酷兒慾望等等）。
課程要求	1.選課學生必須自行蒐集取得課程所需之小說文本（所有作品皆可從臺大圖書館取得，部分有電子書可供下載或閱覽）。 2. 選課學生必須事先閱讀小說文本，並於課堂上發表自己之意見。 3. 因此一課程為全英文課程，課堂討論將以英文文本為準（如有本國學生選修此課，也必須配合閱讀小說之英譯本，並以英文撰寫每週報告與進行口頭報告）。
