達悟族漁夫與海：夏曼藍波安的《海浪的記憶》

Tao Fishermen and the Sea: ShammonLanpoan’s Memories of Waves

對達悟作家夏曼．藍波安而言，寫作與重建其達悟身分認同密不可分。本篇論文討論藍波安寫作成熟期的小說《海浪的記憶》，集中探討其呈現的特色與意義。回蘭嶼定居之後，藍波安重新適應、學習，透過不斷與父執輩與部落老人聊天、打漁，學習傳統技藝，終於被社群認定為真正的達悟人。生活的地理空間與傳統語言元素影響作家之思維與創作，「回鄉」轉換了藍波安自身生命的定位。而《海浪的記憶》一書正是作者藉著記載漁獵、造獨木船、歌謠吟唱等族群傳統，思索如何扮演現代達悟人的角色，其書寫充滿詮釋傳統族群精神種種觀點。基於對自身族群文化深入了解並身體力行，藍波安由猶豫、嘗試的文字工作者轉化為深具主體性的族群發言人。本文介紹作家成長背景、思維與語言特色，最後分析作家位於雙重視角，如何以書寫達悟人與海洋的關係，從而建立與詮釋現代達悟族群精神。

This examines the Tao philosophy as presented in Taiwanese aboriginalwriter Shammon Lanpoan’s book Memories of Waves published in 2002.Memories is the fourth work by Lanpoan, ten years apart from his first bookLegends of Badai Bay appearing in 1992. This book testifies thedevelopment of Lanpoan’s writing career and his negotiation between Taoand Han cultures. It shows Lanpoan as an accomplished writer, inparticular, his appropriation of Chinese language in presenting his aboriginalperspective. This paper is divided into five sections: background of thewriter, philosophy in Memories of Waves, characteristics of language,diaspora in Lanpoan’s literature and conclusion. Through textual analysis, Iwill elaborate characteristics of Lanpoan’s writing and argue that Lanpoan’snarrative presents a cultural subjectivity of Tao aboriginals whereas, at thesame time, demonstrates the nature of diaspora in his literature.
