布農族主題繪本研究－－以《布農族‧法莉絲Bunun•Valis》為例

A Study on Bunun Picture Books - Taking “Bunun · Valis” as an Example

西元2010年的台灣社會是由多元族群共融共榮，台灣原住民族作家不斷嘗試以族群書寫方式，傳承本族的特有的族群文化，凝聚族群意識，增進族群自我認同。對國小階段的學童而言，「繪本」運用了彩繪的圖像，簡潔的文字，敘述族群傳統文化故事，這無疑是協助原住民孩子瞭解族群傳統文化、學習族群語言和承襲族群價值觀的最佳途徑。出生於南投縣信義鄉的布農族女醫師－田知學 Valis Tanapima，在父親離世後決心致力承接父親傳承布農族文化的使命，將布農族語言、文化、生活智慧，化為臺灣原住民族第一套系列童書繪本《布農族‧法莉絲 Bunun • Valis》，藉由創作自身的族群文化，重現部落記憶，傳承布農族群文化，同時運用繪本作品展現，希冀讓不同族群的孩子瞭解到尊重和接納不同文化的重要性。本文首先探討《布農族‧法莉絲 Bunun • Valis》系列繪本之族群書寫，從族群命名、神話傳說、祭典儀式與天倫人倫著手進行論述，析論田知學如何形塑出父親所傳述的布農族群，深入觀看田知學如何透過語言、圖像，將族群文化展現其中。其次將探究臺灣目前以布農族為主題之繪本出版現況，分析目前臺灣出版之布農族繪本，探究其內容所涵蓋之文化主題及未來發展。

The year 2010 sees Taiwan as a society comprised of multiple ethnic groups. The indigenous peoples in Taiwan have been trying to use writing as a way to inherit their unique cultures.
