羅福星「苗栗事件」的文化意義：殖民統治下的抵抗與啟示

The Cultural Significance of the Miaoli Incident Led by Lo Fuxing: Resistance and Insights under Colonial Rule

鑒於苗栗事件作為日本殖民統治時期臺灣重要之抗爭樣態，其在羅福星領導下所展現的文化抵抗與民族認同雙重性質，實具研究價值。準此，本文以文化認同與集體記憶理論為架構，探究此一歷史事件如何在世代傳承過程中被記載、詮釋與傳述，藉此探究臺灣社會對其歷史文化遺產認知形塑之演變軌跡。苗栗事件的象徵意涵已然超越其特定時空背景，轉化為抗殖民運動與文化保存論述之典範性案例。基於此種認識下，進而剖析地方抵抗行動與殖民統治下民族認同建構之互動關係，冀能為殖民治理與文化抗爭研究提供理論觀照。

The Miaoli Incident, led by Lo Fuxing, represents a significant chapter in Taiwan's resistance against Japanese colonial rule, encapsulating both cultural resistance and the struggle for national identity. This paper explores the cultural and political implications of the Miaoli Incident within the broader context of colonial governance and societal transformation. By adopting the frameworks of cultural identity and collective memory, the study examines how this historical event has been recorded, interpreted, and transmitted across generations, reflecting Taiwan's evolving perceptions of its historical and cultural legacy. Furthermore, the paper highlights how the Miaoli Incident's symbolism transcends its immediate historical circumstances, contributing to the broader discourse on anti-colonial resistance and cultural preservation in colonial contexts. Through this lens, the study offers insights into the dynamic interplay between local resistance movements and the construction of national identity under colonial rule.
