This paper aims at analyzing the narrative techniques and writing strategies adopted by authors Hsin-Yun Chang (張欣芸) and Rimuy Aki (里慕伊‧阿紀) in their works“Yuma Taru's Dream-Woven Life”(〈尤瑪·達陸的織夢人生〉) and“Kneril Tayal Balay – Real Atayal Woman”(〈Kneril Tayal Balay 泰雅真 女人〉) respectively.
Written in the third-person perspective,“Yuma Taru's Dream-Woven Life”throws a spotlight on Yuma Taru's dedication to the traditional art of Atayal cloth-weaving. In“Kneril Tayal Balay – Real Atayal Women”, Rimuy Aki adopts a scattered narrative strategy, opting to tell the life stories of Atayal women from the first-person perspective. Narrative accounts about Yuma Taru only appear at the start and end of“Kneril Tayal Balay – Real Atayal Woman,”seemingly relegating her to the sidelines; however, through the real-life case studies and little narratives of the members of Atayal cloth-weaving workshop Lihang Studio, Yuma Taru's tenacious spirit and ability to execute her vision are thrown into sharp relief. This paper argues that“Yuma Taru's Dream-Woven Life”mainly discusses Yuma Taru's return to her tribe, as well as the sobering issue of reviving the traditional art of Atayal cloth-weaving. On the other hand,“Kneril Tayal Balay – Real Atayal Woman”examines how the practice of cloth-weaving can bring together Atayal women, and grant them physical refuge and emotional solace in the face of the many adversities that they often encounter in life. Dissimilar in terms of their narrative techniques, these two works also shine a light on how writing strategies can differ in the genre of literary reportage. |
