Abstract
近年來,與臺灣原住民相關的研究受到學界普遍重視,主題也相當多元,從地權轉移、人口遷徒、文化習俗,到原漢之間的交流與對抗,透過研究都得以逐一拼湊出臺灣原住民在不同歷史階段的生活樣貌。回顧臺灣原住民史的研究成果,女性一直是較被忽略的群體,清代的原住民女性更鮮少研究,遑論個別人物的深入瞭解。不過,現今已有一些研究,或藉由文本重建客觀的原住民女性集體特質、生活場域和傳統習俗,或聚焦於書寫者的主體意識、他者觀點,但共同的不足是缺少個體的角度、人物的案例。
本文的研究重心,在爬梳各類清代文獻檔案後,先指出原住民女性在文獻中的樣貌,充滿書寫者在文化、性別、種族、階級上的偏見, 虛實參半的內容,致使她們的形象遭到扭曲或貶抑,真實面貌無法呈現。繼而,強調這些文本仍能偶見原住民女性的碎片記載,她們的故事只是不曾清楚描述,以致不為人知。因此,本文以人物為切入點,透過進一步的史料解讀,將這些原住民女性人物從歷史中一一挖掘出來,釐清史料的虛與實,在歷史文化脈絡下重新建構她們的人生故事,冀以補足清代臺灣原住民女性史的部分闕漏。
The issues related to Taiwanese aborigines have received attention on diverse range recently; such as land tenure configuration, immigrant population, cultures and customs, interchange and confrontation between Han people and aborigines. The real life of Taiwanese aborigines could be gradually put together by these studies. However, women are always ignored in the previous researches about Taiwanese aborigines, neither aboriginal women of the Qing dynasty nor individuals. Currently researchers have tried to describe the character, life, and traditional customs of overall aboriginal women, or the analysis of writing consciousness, point of view of the other. But the point of view of themselves and case studies of the individual is lacking. The main purpose of the study is to reviewing various Qing dynasty archives, and to point out that the images of aboriginal women in records are usually accomplished with prejudice of culture, gender, race, and social class, which causes their image to be distorted and belittled. Although these records contain some stories about aboriginal women, but that was not complete enough, so those individuals are still unknown. Hence the study intends to use historical documents, to excavate stories by collecting records, arranging and clarifying the truth, and to reconstruct image of individual aboriginal women with historical and cultural context. It is expected that the study could be a supplement to the partial insufficient history of aboriginal women in Taiwan of the Qing dynasty.
