1970 年代台灣的外交挫折與社會經濟變遷等因素，激發戰後世代的社會政治改革意識。當時反國民黨的「黨外」人士是這個戰後世代的重要組成份子。本文從「敘事認同」的理論取向，探討黨外的政治改革主張與其歷史敘事的辯證關係。本文從「非工具論的情境論或建構論」角度分析，指出黨外以一種基於中國民族主義的歷史敘事，將個人自我與社會、國家、民族聯繫起來，建構戰後世代的集體認同感，而此種歷史敘事及世代認同與其政治社會的改革行動密不可分。本文的結論指出：黨外成員以中國民族主義的歷史敘事來理解台灣的過去，尤其是台灣人抗日史，將他們原本被教化的中國民族／國家認同加以充實、具體化，然而因為其強調台灣鄉土歷史與文化而有助於美麗島事件後、八 年代初以降黨外的台灣意識、台灣民族主義的政治動員與文化建構。對台灣七 年代黨外的集體記憶重構與族群政治的關係，及其與八 年代以來台灣文化民族主義發展的歷史聯繫，本文提供一個具有理論意涵的分析理解。

Throughout the 1970s, tang-wai—the name given to anti-KMT dissi-dents—were at the center of the Taiwanese postwar generation's response to the country's diplomatic failures, authoritarian rule, and economic inequal-ities. Using a narrative identity approach to political action, I analyze the dialectical relationship between tang-wai political reform efforts and a his-torical narrative. From non-instrumentalist situationalist and non-instru-mentalist constructionist perspectives, I also argue that a Chinese nationalist narrative of history helped tang-wai to connect individuals with their so-ciety/nation, and to form a sense of collective identity with other members of the postwar generation. My conclusion is that in the 1970s, the tang-wai substantiated their Chinese national identity by adopting a historical narra-tive to make sense of Taiwan's past, especially in terms of Taiwanese resis-tance to Japanese colonialism. Their rediscovery of this history contributed greatly to the political mobilization and cultural construction of Taiwanese nationalism that began in the 1980s. Here I attempt to establish a theoretical understanding of tang-wai reconstruction of a collective memory that incor-porated ethnic politics in 1970s Taiwan and its impact on post-1980s nation-alist politics.
