課程資訊

本課程由臺灣大學劉少雄教授講授，旨在帶領大家賞讀東坡詞，兼顧作家與文體、情感與形式等多重詮釋面向，讓我們更了解東坡為詞的文學與人生意義，進而深入體察東坡的情意世界及其詞的美感特質。課程以影片的教學為主，並搭配每週問題討論以及課後作業。

第一講：詞體與人情─東坡填詞的動因及其詞的特質

從文體的意義談起，進而論述詞作為一種抒情文體的特性與美感特質。有了這些認知，我們才能體會文學形式與作家情感的關係，並據此以探討東坡填詞的內在因素，同時理解其「以詩為詞」的重要意義。

第二講：詞情的深化─東坡「淚」與抒情自我的顯現

以東坡的早期詞——杭州時期作品——為講授重點。自杭州的詞樂環境、人情風光到東坡此時的宦途失意、悲歡情思，逐次辨析東坡早期詞的創作歷程，理解他如何由寫景酬唱到遣情入詞。而送別詞和思鄉詞的佳作也讓我們見到了東坡詞中抒情自我的顯現。

第三講：詞境的開拓─由〈江城子〉到〈水調歌頭〉

以東坡由杭州到密州途中及密州時期的作品為主體，見其自我紓解的努力與詞境的開拓。透過〈沁園春·赴密州早行馬上寄子由〉、〈永遇樂·孫巨源以八月十五離海州⋯⋯〉，論述東坡清婉、雄豪詞風之形成；探析「十年生死兩茫茫」、「老夫聊發少年狂」兩首〈江城子〉，見其豪婉風格的確立；最後以〈水調歌頭〉為例，談東坡清曠詞風的出現。

第四講：時空的感喟─由〈永遇樂〉到〈洞仙歌〉

概論東坡密州徐州詞的時空意識，就時間、空間與自我的關係，分析東坡詞境的衍變。詳析〈永遇樂〉詞篇，體會其「古今如夢，何曾夢覺」的感嘆。簡述「烏臺詩案」，談論此案在東坡生命歷程的意義。本講的最後，則透過選讀〈洞仙歌〉，進一步體察東坡於黃州時期的時空意識。

第五講：文體的抉擇─由〈念奴嬌〉到〈赤壁賦〉

如何在自由與限制之中找到平衡？如何在變與不變之間覓得人生的定理？本講選讀東坡元豐五年的詞作〈念奴嬌〉、賦作前後〈赤壁賦〉，透過他對同一主題（赤壁）以不同文體（詞、賦）書寫的選擇，一則探索其情理掙扎、生命體悟，一則辨析文體抉擇的內外關係，從而了解文體的深切意義。

第六講：行旅的省思─由定風波到定風波

本講以〈蝶戀花〉、〈南歌子〉、〈寒食詩〉、〈定風波〉、〈浣溪沙〉、〈鷓鴣天〉、〈定風波〉等作品，依序帶領大家隨著東坡經歷人生的風雨晴陽，走過生命的幽暗深谷，觀察他如何在行動中體悟生命意義，在日常的行旅之中逐漸安定了心靈，悟得了「此心安處」的生命歸宿。

第七講：詠物與抒情─在物我交感中體證詞情的深度

本講主述東坡的詠物名篇：〈卜算子〉、〈雨中花慢〉、〈水龍吟〉、〈賀新郎〉、〈西江月〉，觀其詠物擬人、寫景述情，物事人情，若即若離，創立了新的抒情美典。從而體會東坡如何以詩的比興之法賦詞詠物，拓寬詞的內容，深化詞的抒情特性，更提升了詞的意境，並對後世影響深遠。

第八講：飄蕩與回歸─在人情世界中尋得心靈的安頓

詩詞的欣賞不只是瞭解意義，更是一種感動的歷程。我們讀東坡作品，讀到一種情理跌宕的姿態、一種生命境界的開拓，並深切體會此乃緣於對生命的熱愛與敬意。在課程的最終篇，我們將承續前面七講的脈絡，體會東坡文學中的悟境——如何在變與不變之中找到人生的定理？如何化解離情與鄉愁，尋覓真正的人生歸宿？且讓我們跟著東坡走一趟回家的路。
