柯政和(1889-1979)為臺籍音樂教育家,一生流離於臺灣、日本、北京,對中國近代音樂教育貢獻良多,尤其活躍於一九二○年代以降至終戰的北京文化界。作為近代音樂教育開創者的柯政和,卻鮮於臺灣文史研究中受到討論,此緣於資料相對偏少外,其活動空間主要在中國且戰後未曾返臺,以及任教於日本勢力下戰時北京校院等因素使然;然而,就戰前臺人東亞移動、戰爭期北京文化網絡,以及臺人海外社群研究而言,柯政和皆屬重要。基此,本文以柯政和戰前文化活動為考察,探究其於臺灣、中國不同歷史階段的形象建構與人際往來,以及著作《中國人的生活風景》、《中國的社會風景》之中國敘事。藉此呈現戰前島外離散臺人的形象演繹與文化視域,掌握旅居北京臺人漂泊主體的精神樣貌。
Ke Zhenghe 柯政和 (1889-1979) was a Taiwan-born musician and educator who contributed greatly to the development of music education in modern China. He spent his entire life in Taiwan, Japan, and China, and was particularly active in the cultural circles in war-time Beijing; from mid-1910s to World War II, his articles frequently appeared in newspapers in Taiwan and China. However, his role as a pioneer of modern music education is rarely discussed in Taiwan. The reasons for this are threefold: information about him has been scarce; he was primarily active in China and did not return to Taiwan after 1945; and his wartime activity, which involved a teaching position in Japan-occupied Beijing, was sensitive. Nevertheless, Ke is a significant figure for the research of Taiwanese migrations in East Asia under Japanese rule, of the Taiwanese diaspora in general, and of cultural networks in wartime Beijing. For these reasons, this study investigates the evolution of Ke's image in China and Taiwan by looking at his cultural activities and interpersonal relationships from 1922 to 1945, as well as by examining his narratives about China in his two wartime publications, Vignettes in the Life of the Chinese and Vignettes in Chinese Society. Through these materials, this study aims to present images and cultural perspectives of Taiwanese under Japanese rule, thereby showcasing the spiritually-drifting landscape of prewar Taiwanese people in Beijing.
