近年來，旅遊書寫隨著觀光熱潮成為當今主要出版項目。2002-2004年間所出版的「台灣文學旅行系列」一反先前外人窺視異地的角度，以「在地」作家親歷的斯土風華導覽台灣地景。然而，「在地」身份如何界定？在地作家與地方關係為何？據此形塑出何種地方圖像？呈現出何種旅行樣貌？本研究發現當代人的頻繁遷徙導致在地性漸趨多元主觀，個人與地方間的情感聯繫與文學淵源常成為認定基礎，然而歲月流轉往往導致在地標籤下瀰漫著對現今地景的陌生疏離，作家們也因此將原為空間性質的地方之旅化為時間回溯式的懷舊憶往，地景雖然在歷史記憶的層層堆疊下更為豐富多元，但最終所呈現的卻是一趟不可能的旅程。

In recent years, travel writing has become popular in Taiwan’s publishing market. In contrast to the outsider/foreigner perspective adopted by most previous travel accounts, the “Taiwan Literature Travel Series” published during 2002-2004 invited local/native writers to construct travel landscapes from within. However, what qualifies one as a “local” writer? What sense of place does this “local” identity imply and what kinds of landscape were hence constructed? Close examination of the texts reveals that high degree of mobility in modern society has made the “local” identity more subjective and diversified, and long periods of estrangement not only produced a sense of alienation on the “local” writers but turned the supposedly space-oriented travel accounts into time-biased nostalgia.
