論文提要：
本論文主要目的在於討論盧西迪的著作《羞恥》一書中各種主動性閱讀的可能性。在後現代主義的範疇中，閱讀已經不再侷限於文本的精讀，並尋找出文本與作者所要傳遞的訊息。閱讀不再是被動的接受而是主動的參與。第一章簡要的說明了《羞恥》一書完美的融合了有趣的故事情節以及作者，文本與讀者間的相互指涉與參與創作。同時也簡述了盧西迪的背景，並闡明他個人的經驗對「羞恥」一書的影響。第二章將會說明幻想與寫實如何在小說中交替出現甚至同時並存。盧西迪使用魔幻寫實的手法呈現出在現實生活中被壓抑，遺忘或羞於提起的人、事、物。讀者能從幻想中意識到另一種的真實。第三章說明盧西迪用多種並存的歷史呈現來打破單一的威權歷史。除了偉大的官方歷史之外，尚有口述與它種形式的歷史來陳訴事實。在多種形式的歷史交織之下，讀者必須做非單一直線式，而是網絡羅幟的「超文本閱讀」。在第四章中，將探討作者如何與讀者分享創作過程，而讀者也需置身文本之中參與創作。《羞恥》一書已不在侷限於書中的文字，文本、作者、讀者之間的藩籬已打破。閱讀已延伸至文本之外。在第五章結論中，將簡扼的回顧以上的章節中所提到的各種可能的主動性閱讀，並再次重申《羞恥》一書的閱讀是主動性的，且包含無數的可能性。

The Active Reading
in Salman Rushdie’s Shame

Abstract
This thesis aims to explore the possibility of active reading in Salman Rushdie’s Shame. In postmodernism, reading has already not been limited in the close reading of the text or in searching for the information the writer and the text try to express. Reading is no longer pessimistic but active. The first chapter is an introduction to Rushdie’s background and explains how his personal experience influences the creation of Shame. I also explore that Shame is a perfect combination of an interesting story and the creative process among the writer, the text and the reader. In chapter two, I will explain the juxtaposition of reality and fantasy in Shame. Rushdie uses magical realistic narrative techniques to present what is oppressed or forgotten in everyday reality. The reader can become aware of the alternative reality. In chapter three, I will go on to explain that Rushdie presents the plurality presentations of history to break the authority of homogeneous history. Besides the great official history, there are still oral history and other forms of history to tell different truths. With the plurality presentations of history, the reader has to do non-linear “hypertext” reading. In chapter four, I will explore how the writer shares the creative process with the reader, and how the reader participates in the creation of the text. The boundaries between the writer, the text and the reader have been broken. The reading of this novel has already extended beyond the text. In the last chapter, the conclusion, I conclude the various possibilities of active reading mentioned in above chapters.
