社會議題的中介與轉化：以撒舒優‧渥巴拉特兩部台灣原住民族紀錄片為例

Mediations and Transformations of Social Issues: Analysis of Two Taiwan Indigenous Documentaries of Sasuyu Ubalat

台灣原住民族導演的紀錄片創作，自1990年代末期至今已有二十多年的發展。台灣社會在這期間進一步捲入全球化、資本流動，以及新自由主義經濟的體系與環節。而生活於偏鄉的原住民族社群則歷經政治、經濟與文化的急速變遷，從中浮現的社會衝突，以及關於生存權利的尖銳議題，成為近年原住民族紀錄影片的重要主題。《最後12.8公里》與《原來我們不核》在面對「道路修築與否」以及「核廢料貯存場」如此意見分歧與不同訴求的衝突情境，排灣族導演撒舒優．渥巴拉特透過影音序列的建構，安置在地族人的不同觀點、立場或認知框架，並在公開映演的各個場合持續發酵與延展。作為物質與媒介的道路與核廢料，在影像媒介的內部與外部發出其獨特的聲響，進而與影片的敘事、觀點產生共振。《最後12.8公里》以及《原來我們不核》兩部紀錄片描繪與中介了台灣原住民族所遭遇之現代性課題，在地族人如何援用傳統作為因應，以及從中產生的多元轉化。

Indigenous documentary in Taiwan has been developing for more than 20 years since the late 1990s. During this period, Taiwanese society has been further implicated in the system of globalization, capital flows, and the neoliberal economy. The aboriginal communities living in the remote counties have undergone rapid changes in politics, economy, and culture. The social conflicts that emerged from these changes and the sharp issues concerning survival rights have become significant themes in the indigenous documentary films in recent years. Paiwan director Sasuyu Ubalat’s two films, Last 12.8km and Get Out, face and deal with the contested and controversial issues of road construction and nuclear waste storage site selection. The director juxtaposes diverse positions and viewpoints of the local people through the audio-visual construction of these two documentaries. In so doing, these two films present, confront, and extend the divergence of opinions in the space of intermediality. The roads and nuclear wastes, which are materials and media themselves, also emit their unique sounds inside and outside the images, and resonate with the narratives and viewpoints of the films, thus mediating the contemporary issues facing indigenous people and their multi-dimensional transformations in the process of modernity.
