原住民族文學書寫策略抉擇探討

The Options of Writing Strategies of Indigenous Literature

台灣原住民族歷經了帝國主義的殖民統治與異族的文化侵略，形成傳統文化的斷裂與族群認同的危機。然而原住民知識份子於戰後的1980 年代中期開始透過文字的書寫，期望能夠掌控自我文化發展的主體性，試圖擺脫「他者」書寫下所建構的形象污名化，更透過神話故事的採擷讓傳統祭儀與文化思維重現在族人的生活記憶裡。雖然原住民族開始掌握了自我發聲的能力與文字書寫的平台，但在「漢化思維」根深蒂固的生活場域裡，似乎無法跳脫文化再殖民的宰制，致使原住民族群文化在歷史的洪流裡繼續地消失。基於此，本文將從「後殖民」的觀點來評論戰後1980 年代所推展的原住民漢語書寫，也就是從原住民知識份子所建構的文學想像與文化再現議題，是否為原住民族的文化復甦與社會脈動提供了正面效應？筆者除了透過這篇文章的撰寫來理解原住民族在文化發展所面臨的困境之外，進而提供原住民文學書寫策略的另一種可能性。

The aborigines in Taiwan have experienced the imperialistic colonial government and the cultural aggression of other tribes. These resulted in the break of the cultural tradition and in a crisis of Indigenous Identity. After World War II, in the 1980’s, the Indigenous intelligentsia expected to develop the cultural subjectivity by literary writings and attempted to get rid of the infamy constructed by the writings of others. Furthermore, through the collections of mythologies, it represented the traditional worship ceremonies and cultural thoughts in the living memories of the Indigenous people. However, in spite that the Indigenous people had held the ability to speak out and the media of literary writings, the sinicized thoughts had been deeply entrenched in their living environment. Thus, people seemed not able to escape the government of the cultural re-colonialism, which resulted in the continuous decay of the Indigenous Culture in history. Owing to the above, this article attempts to evaluate the Indigenous Sino-phonetic Writings promoted in the 1980s, from the post-colonial aspect. In other words, it attempts to evaluate if the literary imagination constructed by the Indigenous intelligentsia and the issues of the cultural representation had brought positive effects on the revival of Indigenous culture and the social movement. By doing this research, the writer attempts to understand the difficulty of the Indigenous cultural development and hopes to provide other possibilities of Indigenous Literary Writing Strategies.
