Syaman Rapongan’s ethnographic and decolonial writing style, along with thepalimpsestic displacement of his geographic space and national identity, generates peculiaroceanic characteristics in his works. The elements of national essentialism, creolelanguage strategy, a repetitive narrative, Tao mythological capital, and primitive habitusembedded in his writing, not only weaken but also challenge the long-established aestheticconvention in Han literary field in Taiwan. In this essay, through Rapongan’s writing,the colonial palimpsest of Taiwan literature is investigated. The essay also discusseshow the first-narrative (rather than the third-narrative) of the indigenes is achieved fromthe transitions of the Qing governance, Japanese Rule, and the KMT Rule. Rapongan’slayered profile and his palimpsestic decolonial strategies are demonstrated. After returningto the Tao Island, his mobilization of Tao habitus and various Tao capital is alsodiscussed. Finally, in terms of Taiwan’s special context, the essay finds out that his Taostrategy in the pursuit of national glory even reverses the concept of Bourdieu’s theoryof Hysteresis. |
