「復返」到「逆寫」的史觀建構之路：2022-2023年臺灣原住民族史研究回顧與展望

Construction of Historical Perspectives from“Returns”to“Writing Back”: Retrospect and Prospect of Indigenous Historical Research in Taiwan (2022-2023)

本文探討2022-2023年間臺灣原住民族史研究的發展趨勢，並分析政府政策對其影響。蔡英文政府推動的原住民族歷史正義工程已展現成效，而賴清德政府接任後，原轉會的工作轉入體制內，預期此趨勢將持續下去。其中，部落史研究成為主流，由部落族人主導書寫，不僅深化在地社會文化的理解，也體現轉型正義與去殖民方法論。然而，這股潮流需避免本質主義的侷限，確保研究能與更大歷史脈絡對話。此外，「逆寫」概念的興起促使主流族群反思歷史敘事，強調透過多元視角理解過去。然而，族群關係並非單純的壓迫與抵抗，應避免簡化歷史脈絡，而是透過嚴謹的方法論審視史料，發掘不同歷史行動者之間的複雜互動。政府機構亦積極推動原住民族史的出版與教育，然歷史詮釋的多元性與共識建構仍具挑戰。

This study examines trends in Indigenous historical research in Taiwan between 2022 and 2023, with a particular focus on the influence of government policies. The Indigenous Historical Justice Project, initiated by former President Tsai Ing-wen, has had a significant impact. Following the inauguration of President Lai Ching-te, the original functions of the Indigenous Historical Justice and Transitional Justice Committee (IHJTJC) have been incorporated into formal government structures, signaling a continuation of related policies. Among recent developments, tribal history research has emerged as a central focus, increasingly led by Indigenous scholars. This shift has deepened the understanding of local socio-cultural contexts and reflects methodologies rooted in both transitional justice and decolonization. However, there is a need to guard against essentialism and to maintain engagement with broader historical frameworks. Additionally, the rise of“writing back”has also prompted dominant ethnic groups to reflect on established historical narratives and adopt inclusive perspectives. Nevertheless, ethnic relations should not be viewed solely through the binary lens of oppression and resistance. A rigorous methodological approach is necessary to critically examine historical sources and uncover the complexities of interethnic interactions. Government institutions should continue to support the publication and educational dissemination of Indigenous history, though challenges remain in balancing diverse perspectives and building a shared historical understanding.
