李昂《看得見的鬼》以鹿城為背景，書寫一系列的「鬼國」寓言。作為傳記式的鬼魅書寫，從生前榮辱、遇害死亡、驚覺成鬼的種種經歷而觀，「死亡」不是成長的終結，而是啟蒙的開始。《看得見的鬼》的女鬼們，在生前的冤屈順利索討之後，該如何度過已然喪失時間意義的漫漫長歲，即是女鬼們所面臨的重要課題。女鬼各自擁有獨特的「成長」議題：「頂番婆的鬼」學習在死後逐漸撫平屈辱與受創的身心；「不見天的鬼」身為嚴守禮教的才媛，死後方能無所顧忌的從書中獲得性啟蒙；「會旅行的鬼」因行動受限而無法渡海尋仇，幸得地理師幫助，不但順利報仇，並也習得自由行走的本領。生前無法達成的學習進度，皆在死後才能夠逐步完成，成長與學習助得她們超越悲劇，尋索生命真諦。本文擬就《看得見的鬼》當中的女鬼／女性成長歷程為論述核心，結合「成長小說」相關理論，探討女鬼的成長歷程、存在困境、心理變化以及旅途見聞，直到最後終於獲得成長。藉由展演與詮釋女鬼的心路歷程，揭示李昂《看得見的鬼》的女性成長小說特徵，並且探究「鬼魅敘事」中成長書寫的概念與意義。

The town, Lukang, is the background of Li-Ang's "Visible Ghosts", which is a fable with a series of ghost stories. As a biographical form of ghost writing, it portrays the experiences of the honor and insults in living, the encounter of murder, and then the shocking awakening of becoming a ghost. Death is not the ending of spiritual growth, but the beginning of enlightenment. After taking revenge, the female ghosts in "Visible Ghosts" have to face the grave problem of how to spend the long hours in which time has become meaningless to them.The female ghosts always had their unique lessons for "growth". The Ghost in Ding Fang Po learned to gradually soothe the humiliated and inflicted soul after death. In The Ghost in The Street with a Roof, Tasi-yuan strictly observed discipline while she was alive, but she gained the enlightenment of sex from books freely after her death. The Traveling Ghost was unable to cross the sea to take revenge at first, but fortunately, with the help of a geomantic master, she successfully took her revenge and learned how to move about freely. After death, they could accomplish what they couldn't reach while they were still alive. Inner growth and learning helped them to surmount tragedies and explore the true essence of life.This thesis focuses on the process of spiritual growth of the female ghosts in "Visible Ghosts", combined with related theories of Bildungsroman, and explores the course of inner growth of the female ghosts, the predicament of existence, psychological variations, and their experiences in traveling, ending up with their maturity in the long run. By means of illustrating and interpreting the course of internal struggle, the thesis unfolds the traits of Bildungsroman in Li-Ang's "Visible Ghosts", and explores the concepts and meanings of female Bildungsroman in ghost writing.
