The purpose of this study is to explore the images of Taiwanese indigenous people in elementary school Mandarin textbooks, analyzing from the perspectives of visual design and presentation whether these images can authentically and respectfully convey indigenous representations to avoid potential dwarfing, misinterpretation, or prejudice. In order to investigate these issues, this study is based on grammar of visual design and utilizes ideational meta-function, interpersonal meta-function, and textual meta-function to analyze the text layout and images of Taiwan's indigenous peoples on the pages of the indigenous peoples-related texts in the Nani, Kang Hsuan, and Han Lin editions of Taiwan's elementary school Mandarin textbooks. The results of this study show that: 1) most of the indigenous images have a narrative structure, which is highly consistent with the content of the text; 2) most of the images are presented in a“provided”way, with more distant and side view angles, which makes it difficult to create emotional resonance due to the large psychological distance between the students and the images; and 3) most of the image structures are designed with bipolarization and triptychs, which creates a stable visual effect. This study also puts forward relevant suggestions for the above findings. |
