Abstract
本文企圖擺放在情慾地理學發展迄今的理論高度上，以台北新公園這個充滿傳奇的男同性戀集聚地方爲例，並以白先勇的小《孽子》爲主要分析材料，來討論以下幾個課題：(一)新公園做爲男同性戀的活勸地點，如何被再現？(二)情慾空間的再現與想像，與男同性戀認同之間的關係如何？(三)新公園做爲一個「情慾之異質空間」，其再現與想像如何映射了異性戀社會的霸權與焦慮；(四)擺放在歷史與社會關係的脈絡裡，新公園的情慾地理形貌在這個公共空間的多重意義之流溢與混雜裡，扮演什麽角色，從事什麽樣的「空間演出」，可能有什麽效果？(五)在理論的思考上，「空間演出」和「情慾演出」如何搭連上「認同建構」的概念？對於同性戀之認同政治的開展有何助益？
This article intents to explore the geography of sexuality of Taipei Park through a textual analysis of Hsien-yung Po's famous gay novel. The topics discussed include: (1) The spatial representations of Taipei Park as a meeting place of gays, (2) the relation between representations of erotic space and gay identity, (3) the Taipei Park as an ”erotic heterotopia” in Foucault's sense that reflecting the homophobia and sexual anxiety of heterosexuality, (4) the conflicting and multiple meanings of Taipei Park in the historical-social trajectory of Taiwan, and (5) to enquire if spatial performance and erotic performance could connect to the construction of gay identity in the struggle for public space and homosexual movement.
