人觀、治療儀式與社會變遷：以布農人為例的研究

Personhood，Ritual Healing and Social Change:The Example of the Bunun

本文以臺東縣海端鄉霧鹿聚落和南投縣仁愛鄉古古安聚落的民族誌為基礎，探討布農人對於疾病的分類與形成原因的看法、治療的過程及其效力（efficacy）的來源以及治療儀式與其人觀的關係。過去對布農人巫術與治療儀式的主要研究，均將這些視為孤立的、自成一格的體系，而忽略相關的社會文亡過程與脈絡；同時，也偏重於靜態的描述而缺少分析。

This article investigates indigenous healing practices among the Bunun，an Austronesian－speaking aboriginal people of Taiwan. Etiology，classifica－tion of illness，the procedures of healing rituals，and their efficacy are examined in relation to bunun concepts of personhood. Previous studies of Bunun spirit mediumship and ritual healing treat them as a bounded，isolated system and ignore socio－cultural processes and contexts.
