碩士 === 靜宜大學 === 台灣文學系 === 101 === The development of science fictions in Taiwan was doing to a brand-new form of space in 90s. In the information age, virtual space becomes a novel field of human activity. When virtual space substituted real space, the cyberpunk writers sprang up. In their writing, all visible objects are symbolized by bytes (codes) which shuttle in the optical network. Only when consciousnesses of users log in a virtual domain and bodies of users are remained in reality, can body be regarded as an independent space; thus users can further consider the independence of human subject and rigid domination of physical gender. Ling Hong and Ta-Wei Chi written science fiction in 90s and were known as cyberpunk writer and queer writer. When users log in virtual domain, and then stand in a perspective of simulation, simulacra and mirror object. Both Hong and Chi attempt to find and construct a self-subjectivity which was molded by others; they even juggle with the boundary of body, and let Queer branched out into the field of science fiction which including vampires, werewolves, worm-man, cyborg, homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual, etc. A variety of alienation of bodies are hybridized and coexistent. Via extreme intercourse, beautiful violence and romantic murder, they try to de-gendering, de- physicality and tease unfree bodies which are ossified by power in real space. They also attempt to re-find the demonstration of subjective independence of “human” under the law and order of space in this new generation.
