解构与超越 ― 台湾原住民女性作家主体性探索的新与变

Abstract

This paper studies the novels of two Indigenous Taiwanese writers; 《绝岛之咒》 wrtieen by Nakao Eki Pacidal, together with 〈失乐园〉 and 〈Matengen〉 written by Si-nan-Matengen. The paper studies these texts from three perspectives, which are the narrative features of myths and folk tales, space and time that appears the text. The two writers broke the standards of what the authors in the Indigenous Movement Generation created for aboriginal literature. Nakao Eki Pacidal broke the stereotype of the indigenous people shown in earlier texts. She also suggested that the indigenous people should not limit themselves as regressive people. Rather, she claims that they should open themselves up towards the globalized world and the diversified environment, and shape their own future through fusion of the aboriginal culture and the present. The sense of time shown in the texts of Si-nan-Matengen has future-oriented characteristics. She presents multidirectional problems that commercialization and protection policies of the aboriginal culture may bring. She suggests that we should have a broader view, going beyond the binary opposition between the indigenous people vs Han ethnics, and tradition vs modernity. By doing so, she suggests that the indigenous people and han ethnics coexist through cooperation.
