This paper defines ''Taiwanese ethnology'' as the knowledge of the ethnos of Taiwan. To clearly understand the ethnos of Taiwan, the research field and related disciplines would be broadened/narrowed. The traditional field of the discipline is the anthropological research based on studying the aborigines; this paper discusses the images of the disciplines presented by the writings of the disciplinary history, and the broadening/narrowing of the ''Taiwanese ethnology''.
This paper discusses ''the traditional field of the discipline, its deepening and broadening'', ''the ethnohistory of Taiwanese Indigenous and Chinese ethnic minorities'', and ''from the traditional field of the discipline toward the knowledge system''. The research object involves the Lán-lâng/ Holo, Hakka, the Indigenous, the Chinese ethnic minorities.
The turning point of the discipline is mainly presented by the shifting of the viewpoint from etic towards emic. The traditional field of the discipline has also showed the ''grafting problem'' in the different of disciplinary inheriting. A single discipline could no longer let us clearly understand ''ethnos''; also we could see that under the support of policies, the researches of Indigenous and Hakka has now formed ''knowledge systems''. Meanwhile, the studies of Lán-lâng/ Holo are currently under ''localogy'' of different locations and pending for development.
The disciplines related to ethnos, observing from their disciplinary histories, are individual from each other. However, if ethnos itself is deemed as the subject, the individual disciplines would then be all related, and further become knowledge systems, as known as ''Taiwanology'', the ''nationalogy'' of Taiwan. |
