碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 台灣文學與跨國文化研究所 === 101 === As Taiwan enters the age of democracy and globalization, people have also reached across the globe with the aid of the internet, and this has changed their reading habits and allowed them to read more genres of literarure. Under this trend, fantasy fiction has become a popular genre, and due to globalization, similar images and plots often appear in different works, forming the phenomenon of boundary crossing. Intrigued by this, I intend to see whether such boundary crossing occurs in Taiwan as well by comparing Japanese writer Baku Yumemakura’s Onmyouji and Taiwan writer Hu Die’s Jin-Zhou Master series. Both works belong to the fantasy category, yet refer to contemporary social problems. The two series share similar situations where ghosts interact with humans. This thesis compares the two series in the following respects: 1. Has boundary crossing occurred in Taiwan’s fantasy fiction under the influence of globalization? 2. Have Taiwan’s writer developed new aspects in fantasy genre? 3. How do Taiwan’s writer make their works different from others?
