台北縣阿美族都市豐年祭展演之當代意涵

Abstract

本研究之目的在於從展演的角度，分析台北縣阿美族都市豐年祭的當代意涵。節慶活動中的展演常可反映出該群體之文化特色，都市豐年祭更具有別於他者的特殊時、空、社會背景，故本研究採用文獻分析、參與觀察法及深入訪談法，呈現都市豐年祭的發展歷程與現行概況。依主辦單位之差異，可將目前北縣都市豐年祭分為三大類，且各自有其展演特色。本研究結果發現在眾多影響都市豐年祭展演的因素中，政治力、包容力、向心力分別為影響北縣縣級聯合豐年祭、各鄉鎮市行政區級豐年祭、各原住民族旅北同鄉會豐年祭最為強勢的力量。此外，「文化的延續」、「文化的再造」、及「文化的反饋」三點，則是北縣各種不同類型都市豐年祭整體展現背後的當代意涵。最後，本研究認為應以豐年祭參與者的心靈態度，決定其在「神聖－世俗」光譜上的位置，才能使其立身世俗的都市豐年祭中，找到神聖的可能性。Now in Taiwan, the number of various scale of ilisins that are main leaded by Amis are more than 200 in a year.
