排灣族琉璃珠文化意象構成因素之研究

The Study of the Cultural Image Constructed Factors of Paiwanese Glass Beads

本研究旨在探討文化意象之構成因子，首先，針對原住民族群文化藝術豐饒之排灣族為對象，以該族三寶之藝術性與文化性兼具代表的「琉璃珠」進行分析，並透過與工藝師、當地居民及消費者等三種族群之訪談，依紮根理論之方法，經由質性研究資料分析軟體Winmax98 pro找出重要之譯碼，以解析琉璃珠文化意象之構成因子。研究結果發現：排灣族琉璃珠之文化意象構成可分為：「內隱」與「外顯」二大面向，「內隱面向」係透過「文化認同與傳承」、「階級地位」，「信仰守護」及「形式美」等四構面來傳達；其次，「外顯面向」則包含「外觀形狀」、「顏色」及「圖騰」等三構面來呈現。

The purpose of this study is to explore the constructive factors for Cultural Images with a specific focus on the native Pai-Wan tribe, which has abundant cultural artifacts. The research focuses on exploring the Glass Bead, which is the best representative in both art and culture of the Pai-Wan tribe's three greatly-treasured artifacts. After extensive interviews with craftsmen, tribal residents and consumers, a qualitative research based on grounded theory was conducted. The qualitative research was carried out by using the Winmax98 pro computer software in order to identify important and significant underlying codes （meaning） for the constructive factors of the symbolism of Glass Bead's Cultural Images. The results obtained can be grouped into two categories: inherent factor and external factor. The inherent factor is sub-divided into four factors: Culture Identity and Inheritance, Hierarchical System , Religious Belief and Beauty. External factor includes Exterior Form, Color and Totem.
