摘要

本文以高雄市茂林區為例，討論在當代永續發展潮流下生態觀光的興起，以及處理生物多樣性的保護與在地社群之間的關聯性。再者，筆者將考量無形文化資產中關於自然界與宇宙的知識與實踐，並針對紫蝶幽谷的意象建構進行象徵分析。隨著外在環境的影響，文化會趨同。此時，社群會透過象徵，重新標示界線。界線是象徵的，同一社群的個人對其有相異的詮釋。魯凱下三社彼此之間不同的語言、儀式、傳統知識就是象徵性界線的表示，透過這些無形文化資產來展現社群的認同。以紫斑蝶為例，茂林人和西魯凱群、排灣族便對蝴蝶有不同的認知及詮釋。

This article takes Maolin district in Kaohsiung for instance to discuss the emergence of ecotourism under the contemporary trends of sustainable development, and to treat the relationship between the protection of biodiversity and local communities. Moreover, I will consider knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe within intangible cultural heritage, and analyze symbolically the image construction of the valley of purple butterflies. With the impact of outside environment, cultures approach similarity. At this time, the community resignalizes its boundaries by symbols. The boundaries are symbolic, and the individuals of the same community have different interpretations for them. The different languages, rituals and traditional knowledge of Sha-San-She Rukai are the representation of symbolic boundaries. The communities express their identities through these intangible cultural heritage. Give the purple crow butterfly as an example, Teldreka has different cognition and interpretation of butterflies from west Rukai and Paiwan.
