陌生人總幹事?一位客家人成為原住民部落公共事務推動者過程中的認同政治

A Stranger-Executive Secretary? The Politics of Identity in the Case of a Hakka Anthropologist Managing the Public Affairs of an Indigenous Community in Taiwan

摘要


本文以作者自身的經歷來討論研究者在舉家遷徙並定居於原為田野場域的都蘭部落之後,「被迫」成為部落推動公共事務的「總幹事」過程中,都蘭部落內部認同政治的原住民性,以及民族誌的知識生產與倫理性質。本文作者為出身於新竹的客家人,在完成人類學博士學位之後,於原田野地都蘭部落所在區域的大學取得教職,並舉家遷徙至都蘭部落定居。由於作者長期參與都蘭部落年齡組織,在新任部落領袖(kakita'an)上任後,無法拒絕地被指定擔任部落總幹事的職務,部落中包含祭儀在內的相關公共事務皆由作者來統籌。同時由於這個新的發展,使得部落內部產生各種討論、爭辯與想像,具體再現了都蘭部落內部認同政治的原住民性乃交織在部落與國家力量之間的關係上。此外,在民族誌的研究過程中,作為一位研究者與被研究者同體的研究者而言,意識到自己無可避免地必須面對部落內部社會關係與文化正統性的爭論,進一步在書寫上意識到作為一個從被研究者主體視角出發的民族誌寫作,如何與知識生產之間產生關聯性。

This paper explores the politics of identity as indigeneity based on a self-ethnography of my own experience as an outsider being gradually "forced" to act as the manager of public affairs in the indigenous 'Amis community, 'Atolan (Dulan), which was the field site for my doctoral dissertation project. I was originally a Hakka ethnic born in Hsinchu and then migrated to A'tolan with my family after getting my Ph.D. degree. In 2015, I was asked by the newly elected headman (kakita'an) to be the executive secretary of 'Atolan 'Amis to manage its public affairs (such as rituals), and this has caused vigorous debates in the community. My experience of being a "stranger-executive secretary" represents the indigeneity of 'Atolan 'Amis as being shaped in the interactions between the community and the state. Although myself as an anthropologist and an informant (for being one of the elites in the community) at the same time makes it impossible to avoid controversies in the community, it provides me with an unusual opportunity to explore the complicated ambiguities of subjectivity not only in indigeneity but also in ethnography.
