破土深耕・開枝散葉：中央研究院臺灣史研究所三十年所慶座談會

Pioneering and Prospering: Symposium of 30th Anniversary Celebration of Institute of Taiwan History, Academia Sinica

2023年8月1日，中央研究院臺灣史研究所（以下簡稱「臺史所」）舉辦「破土深耕・開枝散葉」設所三十年所慶座談會。許雪姬所長與文化史研究群召集人吳叡人副研究員主持開幕式後，開始一天的座談會。座談會從臺史所的前史，亦即張光直院士延續濁大計畫提出的臺灣史田野研究計畫談起，回顧成立臺灣史田野研究室到設立臺史所籌備處，再到正式設所，三十年來發展呈現的特色與研究業績。座談會從不同層面指出了三十年來臺史所的發展變遷，有從既往的複數軌跡逐漸累積而成的部分，也有依循學科內部知識生產路徑發展的面向，及回應社會關懷的學術實踐，更有因應時代重要議題而產生的學術研究能量與開展的新領域。座談會共分四個場次。第一場次「田野調查與多元起源」，詹素娟副研究員談臺史所前身的臺灣史田野研究計畫與臺灣史田野研究室的創立精神、學術實踐及延續發展；借調國立臺灣歷史博物館館長的張隆志副研究員，從史學史與歷史知識的社會脈絡，說明多元起源的臺灣史學史中臺史所的位置。第二場次「開拓與傳承」，由學術成果豐碩的臺史所前輩劉翠溶院士、黃富三老師、施添福老師，分享各自的學思歷程。跨學科對話與實踐，是臺史所從田野研究室時即就已奠定的傳統，因此第三場次「跨學科對話的實踐」，由吳叡人副研究員、林文凱副研究員及曾文亮副研究員，分享非傳統歷史學科班出身，卻跨界進入史學界從事臺灣史研究的經驗、成果與反思。第四場次「歷史視野與史料解讀」，由晚近透過新的研究視野，並使用文字材料以外的各種非典型史料，提出重要研究成果並開創新研究領域的陳培豐研究員、陳姃湲副研究員、陳宗仁研究員和林玉茹研究員，分享各自的研究經驗。

In celebration of its 30th anniversary of establishment, the Institute of Taiwan History held a symposium on August 1, 2023, presided by Director Hsueh-chi Hsu and Associate Research Fellow Rwei-ren Wu, convener of the Cultural History Research Group. The symposium started from reviewing the early history of the Institute, with the Taiwan History Field Research Project proposed by Academician Kwang-chih Chang (1931-2001), through the different stages of development over the past three decades from the Taiwan History Field Research Office to the Preparatory Office and finally to the formal establishment of the Institute. From diverse perspectives, the symposium assessed how the Institute evolved over the years, pointing out that some changes were gradually accumulated from past trajectories, some were developed along the path of knowledge production within the discipline, some were academic practices that answered social concerns, and some were new research areas in response to important issues of the times.
The symposium comprised four sessions in total. In the first session,“Fieldwork and Multiple Origins,”Associate Research Fellow Su-chuan Chan talked about the Taiwan History Field Research Project, the predecessor of the Institute of Taiwan History, and the founding spirit, academic practices, and continued developments of the Taiwan History Field Research Project; and Associate Research Fellow Lung-chih Chang, now the Director of the National Museum of Taiwan History, reviewed the position of the Institute of Taiwan History in the history of Taiwan historiography with multiple origins from the social context of historiography and historical knowledge. In the second session,“Pioneers and Prospects,”Academician Ts’ui-jung Liu, Adjunct Research Fellows Fu-san Huang and Teng-fu Shih, all seniors of the Institute who have made great academic achievements, shared their respective academic journeys. Interdisciplinary dialogue and practice are traditions established by the Institute of Taiwan History since its beginning. Therefore, in the third session,“Interdisciplinary Dialogue and Practice”, Associate Research Fellows Rwei-ren Wu, Wen-kai Lin and Wen-liang Tseng shared their experiences, achievements and reflections in studying Taiwan history with a background of non-traditional history discipline. The fourth session is“Historical Perspectives and Interpretation of Historical Materials”. Research Fellows Pei-feng Chen and, Tsung-jen Chen, and Yu-ju Lin and Associate Research Fellow Jungwon JIN, who all have recently published important research findings and initiated novel research fields from fresh perspectives and with historical materials other than written materials, shared their respective academic experiences.
