印尼原住民視野下的華人形象：以印尼電影《迎頭重擊》（Headshot）及《黑夜降臨》（The Night Comes for Us）為研究中心

The Image of the Chinese from the Perspective of Indonesian Aborigines: Focus on the Analysis of the Indonesian Movies “Headshot” and “The Night Comes for Us”

自1998年印尼蘇哈托政權倒台，印尼恢復民主選舉的近二十年來，政府及原住民對華人社群的打壓大幅減少，亦沒有再發生大型暴力的排華事件，學者更樂觀地認為華人在印尼社會裡的負面形象已經轉變。可是，透過分析印尼電影《迎頭重擊》（2016）及《黑夜降臨》（2018）裡的華人角色形象，仍然呈現出典型原住民對華人的負面塑造，視華人為印尼社會的「他者」並操控印尼原住民的生活。可見儘管近年暴力排華事件不再，但原住民的意識上仍然排拒華人，華人仍然未能完全成為「印尼人」。

Following the fall of the Suharto regime in 1998, the gradual return to a democratic political system for the past two decades in Indonesia, saw efforts by the government and the indigenous communities seeking to improve the relationship with the Chinese Indonesians. Since then, there has also been no major violent anti-Chinese demonstrations in Indonesia. Some scholars such as Johanes Herlijanto expressed optimism at what he believed to be the “undoing” of a negative image of the Chinese Indonesians in the society. However, an analysis of the image of the Chinese protagonist in the Indonesian film Headshot (2016) and The Night Comes for Us (2018) suggested that the negative image of the typical Chinese Indonesian is still highly persistent. The Chinese are still regarded as the “Others” within the contemporary Indonesian society and to a certain extent they continued to be perceived as having control over the lives of the indigenous population. Despite the low number of violent anti-Chinese incidents in recent years, the locals seemed unwilling to accept the Chinese population and saw them as failing to transform into real “Indonesians.”
