澳門現代文學研究三十年──以出版專著為討論對象

This article takes academic and critical monographs as the objects of discussion. It gives an overview of the last 30 years of Macanese literature studies from the 1990s up to the present day. For straightforwardness and ease of understanding, this time period is divided into 10 years stages. The three stages are described as developing, booming and deepening. The author concludes that the 1990s were the golden age of Macanese literature, and therefore a bumper harvest period of Macanese literature studies. After entering the new century, with a large number of masterpieces published, Macanese literature studies were like an unleashed horse at its full power. After going through its booming period, the 2010s have witnessed a deeper and more vivid pattern of Macanese literature studies, and has opened up more space for literary criticism. Introductory textbooks are gradually being replaced by project-specific monographs. The approach of studies is from a broader perspective, and meanwhile the theoretical tools are more open, the historical materials are more prominent, and the topics have become more developed and diverse. All these have supported the new world of Macanese literature studies.
