殖民視覺暴力與文化清洗見證：日治初期臺灣原住民電影活動的初體驗

Visual Violence of Colony and Witnesses to Cultural Genocide: Retracing Cinema Experiences of Indigenous Peoples in Taiwan in Early Japanese Colonial Period

過去討論日治初期臺灣電影史，鮮少論及原住民的電影經驗。本研究從電影吸引力、電影戰爭認知後勤的角色及文化淸洗的觀點，運用史學方法，重探日治初期臺灣原住民的電影經驗。分從一是觀光體驗電影驚奇，影像夾帶文明化與武器奇觀，電影成為淸洗原住民文化工具；二是隨軍參與鎭壓的電影攝影機，見證了殖民者的暴力，更是帝國擴張種族鎭壓的武器。最後，原住民電影經驗體現出對南部鄒族施以綏撫措施，對北部泰雅族則施以征伐手段。

In colonial times, cinema is a vital tool to promote government orthodoxy and to preserve the civilization of the governed. The present study considered cinema’s attractive qualities and the logistics of perception in the process of documenting and perpetuating the cultural genocide of indigenous peoples through film. This study used a historiographical method to generalize historical materials and the cinema viewing experiences of indigenous peoples in Taiwan in the early Japanese colonial period. Furthermore, this study focused on two historical dimensions. The first dimension considers film viewing as a virtual tourism activity driven by the colonizers; films became the tools of the colonists’cultural expansion. The other dimension concerns images of military suppression of indigenous peoples; army cameras entered the territory of indigenous peoples like a weapon, recording brutal battles and witnessing the colonists’violence. Finally, the indigenous film experiences reflected the colonizers’policy of appeasement of the Tsou people in the south of Taiwan and subjugation of the Atayal people in the north.
