摘要

本文主要在於探究當代人們對土地進行的意識化和物件化的運動，如何交織在人們日常生活和各種土地運動的訴求之中，使得土地以相互攀引、斷裂與再連結的方式大量為人所使用與生產。可以說，倘若是土地是作為個人所有權的物品，那麼在商品買賣邏輯中，它可以是被當成可交易的資本。若土地涉及集體性的人群分類意識，土地則成了人群劃分的重要依據。土地的意識化作為，同時促使另一種意識空間或意識界域的出現，亦即對有形土地的意識化延伸到對無形空間的區隔與分配，繼而創造出虛擬的連結。此外，土地除了是可看、可觸的物質存在之外，同時也以一種滋養萬物生息的方式被認識。因此當災難發生時，土地便成了具有主動性的本體，而不再是被開發的存在物。以此觀之，土地的諸多運動隨著不同時、不同處和不同情境而不斷相互攀引、斷裂又連結，共構了當代社會中人們和土地的複雜關係。

This paper explores how people consciously perceive land as a social thing and the human perception in the development of land movements, which results in a collective phenomenon of interweaving, interruption and connection. As a property of the individual, the land is apparently a kind of commercial capital. However, it is turned into the ground of distinction when the land is brought back to the habitat of ethnic groups. In the extension of a material piece of land, people create some collective consciousness as a mental representation of and virtual connection to spatial partitioning and distribution. Furthermore, when natural disasters occur, the land is no longer regarded as some passive, inert matter, becoming instead an active, living being capable of responding in a (self-) destructive manner to human panning and exploitation. In light of this, we suggest that land movements of various times and places have always perceived interweaved with, interrupted by and connected to land and human relations.
