  • 同性戀常被形容為是「無法說出名字的愛」,這也說明了同性戀在文學作
    品中常必須以隱藏的方式顯現。在詹姆斯‧包德溫寫作的年代,帶來同性
    戀解放的石牆革命尚未發生,這使得為同性戀命名這項工作更顯艱難。即
    使如此,包德溫仍然在他的前三本小說中,經由不同的策略去凸顯同性戀
    ,進而建立了他當時的同性戀論述。本論文第一章主要在探討包德溫的第
    一本小說《到山上去宣告》。故事表面上是描述一個年輕黑人如何正面地
    去追求失落的父親形象及獲得宗教救贖,但在這過程中,真正主宰少年心
    理的,卻是他對一位年輕牧師的同性戀渴望,經由這種技巧,包德溫隱晦
    地表達了一段同性戀情。但由於這段感情始終只是停留在想像階段,終究
    未能真正描繪出一個同性戀世界。第二章的重點擺在包德溫的第二本小說
    《吉瓦尼的房間》。小說背景設在巴黎的地下同性戀圈子。小說直接描述
    了同性戀情,但包德溫在為同性戀命名時,卻似乎有些遲疑並在態度上搖
    擺不定。同性戀既有帶來救贖的正面功能,卻也有引人墮落的負面影響,
    這命名工作終究不算成功。一直到他的第三本小說《另一國度》,包德溫
    才算適當地為同性戀命名,這正是第三章的重點。在小說中,包德溫創造
    了幾個具有波西米亞色彩的同性戀角色,這些角色雖然常活在一種不確定
    的狀態中,卻顯得比他人更有活力,而且有獨特的人生觀。經由對這種雖
    不確定但有生命力的同性戀角色的肯定,包德溫成功地凸顯了同性戀,讓
    它不再無以為名。

    As the phrase "love that dare not speak its name" suggests,
    homosexualityis often disguised in literature. For a pre-
    Stonewall gay writer like JamesBaldwin, it is even more
    difficult to name it. However, in his first threenovels, he
    adopts different strategies to manifest homosexuality, and
    thusconstructs a homosexual discourse at his time. Chapter I of
    this thesis willfocus on his first novel, Go Tell It on the
    Mountain. Baldwin dexterouslyinfuses homosexual desire into
    the process of a young black's search for afather image and
    religious salvation, and thus develops a hidden
    homosexualdiscourse. Nonetheless, because the description of
    homosexuality is built ona fantasy, it lacks the power to
    reflect a true homosexual world after all.Chapter II will
    discuss his second novel, Giovanni's Room. Baldwin puts
    itssetting in Parisian gay underworld. Nonetheless, Baldwin's
    hesitance in naminghomosexuality makes him shift between
    positively endowing it with a healingpower and negatively
    accusing it of its corruptive influence. Homosexualityis still
    not properly named. As Chapter III demonstrates, it is in his
    thirdnovel, Another Country, that Baldwin displays a meaningful
    way to name homo-sexuality. By creating bohemian gay
    characters who can establish a uniqueattitude towards life
    out of a chaotic and uncertain conditon, Baldwin
    giveshomosexuality a proper name in the name of uncertainty.
