家的認同與意義重建：魯凱族好茶的案例

Identity and Meaning Reconstruction of Home: A Case of Kochapogan, Rukai

本文藉由魯凱族好茶「重返雲豹故鄉運動」中的一個具體案例，嘗試由存在分析的角度來探討歸家者在回家的歷程中，重尋家園及其族群傳統的認同與意義。並進一步在其歸家後的日常生活中，從人與環境的關係來探索歸家者與家園環境之「棲居」特性。本文結論認為，回歸原鄉重新認同族群文化傳統與重建家園的意義是理解個人當下存在處境的過程，在此一過程中銜接族群文化傳統，賦予傳統再生的活力，據以找尋未來的出路；而詩意棲居生活方式之追尋則是對現代科技支配生活反思後的替代選擇。

This paper deals with two issues based on a case study of the “Home-returning Movement” of Kochapogan, Rukai tribe of Taiwan. Firstly, by tracing one’s identity on the way home, the author tries to explore the meaning of home and its relationship to one’s tribal tradition for a person from the perspective of existential analysis. Secondly, through everyday life practice on the homeland, the dwelling characteristic of one’s home environment is dealt with from the perspective of human-environment relationship. It shows that, by articulating identity and the meaning of home, one understands one’s existing situation through linking one’s own tradition in order to project one’s future life, and to dwell poetically at home is creating an alternative out of modern way of life dominated by modern technology.
