哀悼的三重面向：香港报纸文艺副刊悼文研究

张    宇（Zhang Yu），裴子骏（Pei Zijun）

摘要：死亡，是个体生命的终点，也构成了社会文化叙述的重要契机。悼文，作为对死亡的回应，不仅承载着私人的情感，也进入公共语境构成社会记忆的一部分。香港报纸文艺副刊中所刊登的各类悼文，从“断裂”“记忆”与“继承”三个维度呈现着独特的叙述特征与文化意涵。文章认为，通过不同书写模式，悼文回应死亡带来的断裂性焦虑并呈现个体生命观念，同时，悼文更作为一种深刻的记忆实践，以怀旧的情感结构介入，参与到个体身份的构建与知识遗产的继承当中。应当说，香港报纸中刊登的悼文传达着个体生命的哀悼，也折射着香港社会在文化发展中的多重精神图景。

Title: The Three Dimensions of Mourning: A Study of Obituaries in Literary Supplements of Hong Kong Newspapers

Abstract: Death is not only the end of individual life, but also a crucial moment for social and cultural narration. As a response to death, the obituary—while bearing private emotions—also enters the public sphere and becomes part of social memory. The various obituaries published in the literary supplements of Hong Kong newspapers reveal distinct narrative features and cultural meanings through the three dimensions of “rupture,” “memory,” and “inheritance.” This article argues that through diverse modes of writing, obituaries respond to the anxiety of rupture brought by death and reflect on individual perceptions of life. At the same time, as a profound practice of memory, the obituary participates in the construction of personal identity and the transmission of intellectual legacy through a structure of nostalgic sentiment. In this sense, the obituaries in Hong Kong newspapers not only convey mourning for individual lives, but also reflect the multiple spiritual landscapes of Hong Kong society in its cultural development.
