本論文以「利基想像」為切入點，指出學術體系大環境中在地與跨國知識生產殖民性的問題，並進一步反思亞美文學研究在台灣的位置與重要性。亞美文學研究在台灣不僅標示了美國弱勢族裔文學研究在台灣的發展以及台灣學術界對美國經典文學研究的反動，它也是一個跨國知識生產的場域，再現了跨國脈絡中知識殖民性與在地知識生產的問題。亞美文學研究是美國1960年代亞美運動的重要遺產。亞美運動精神乃持續地為正義發聲，挑戰並反抗帝國主義、資本主義與種族主義的不平等剝削，並為弱勢族群與第三世界國家發聲。身處於第三世界的台灣，在美國文學研究的框架之下討論亞美，必須更加謹慎地看待亞美文學研究作為知識生產與在地及跨國脈絡的關係。透過辯證性地思考亞美文學研究在台灣的位置，本論文主張亞美文學研究在台灣應該突破外文系美國文學詮釋的框架，並與台灣在地社會有更進一步的連結。透過這一層體認，本文試圖回應反美帝、為弱勢自我發聲的亞美精神，藉著連接台灣的亞美文學研究與在地文化，期望亞美文學知識生產亦能刺激在地社會文化能量，使亞美精神在五十年後能繼續在台灣發酵

This thesis proposes that the developments of Asian American literary studies in Taiwan are entangled with problems of transnational knowledge production coloniality. Asian American literary studies in Taiwan not only marks the evolvements of American minority literary studies and the reactions to American classic literary studies in Taiwan. It also represents the battlefield of global knowledge economy and exposes the question of local knowledge production coloniality. Through the lens of “niche imagination,” this thesis exhibits the problematic knowledge production condition pervading Taiwan in a transnational context, and then moves to display how the condition of knowledge coloniality influences the developments of Asian American literary studies in Taiwan. Asian American literary studies is an important legacy of Asian American movements in the 1960s that seek for justice and fight against the racialist, capitalist and imperialist deprivations. In this light, Asian American literary studies in Taiwan under the frame of Foreign Languages and Literature Department should be careful about its position in global and local knowledge production. This thesis argues that Asian American literary studies in Taiwan should cross the disciplinary boundaries and be connected to Taiwan’s local conditions. Thereupon, literary knowledge production could unfold the local cultural and political agency so as to make the Asian American spirit keep working.
