原鄉與殖民認同──陳澄波「送役圖」與「慶祝日」畫作意象

Homeland and Colonial Identities: Chen Cheng-po and His Works

本文以臺灣畫家陳澄波（1895-1947）的「送役圖」（1944）與「慶祝日」（1946）兩幅作品為例，討論臺灣人由日本帝國殖民統治回歸中華民國統治，在文化上面臨的自我認同困境。一方面，藉此反省臺灣人在殖民／反殖民、統治／被統治雙元架構下所遭遇的政治、法律問題，另方面，希望有助於世界各地華人，理解臺灣的歷史、文化、社會與法律的互動。

This article takes the two artworks of Taiwanese artist Chen Chengpo,“ Song Yi Tu” (Sending off the Conscripts, 1944) and “Qing Zhu Ri” (Celebration Day, 1946), as examples to illustrate the Taiwanese cultural struggles over identities during the regime transition from the Japanese Empire to the Republic of China. In this way, I shall ponder the political and legal issues on the dual structure of colonial/anti-colonial and ruling/ being ruled in Taiwan. Hopefully, this article may be helpful for the Chinese people all over the world to understand the interactions between the history, culture, society, and law in Taiwan.
