文化論述中的權力：從布農文教基金會的文化復振看布農族的權力觀

The Power in Cultural Discourse:Analyzing Bunun Concepts of Power through the Bunun Cultural and Educational Foundation’s Cultural restoration Project

文化一直被視為是區辨「我群」及「他者」的有效變項，但因為「文化」不易定義，誰掌握文化論述的內容，誰就掌握了描繪族群邊界的權力，同時也間接引發族群內部再區隔化（re－separation）以及種屬化（speciation）的分離力量。過去對於布農文教基金會的研究多偏重在文化產業或內部殖民的觀點。本文嘗試從布農族傳統的權力觀在現代國家機器下的轉變，來探討此一過程對基金會產生何種制約，且基金會個案如何還原布農族原有的「能力至上，多元競爭」及「連結而不團結」的特質；而其中，國家機器的介入更使不同地區的布農族不易發展出單一的族群想像與認同。

Culture is always regarded as a useful concept to distinguish the differ－ences among ethnic peoples. When the difinition of culture is hazy，those whose difinitions of the content of a culture become dominant will have the power to decide ethnic boundaries. These cultural discourses can also pro－duce new forms of differentiation and separation within an ethnic group.
