摘要

本論文要探討的是，在當代社區總體營造和族群復振兩大文化運動的潮流下，愛蘭台地的行動者如何想像、建構著地方社群的界線與文化的內涵。當台地主要的二個行動者南投縣巴宰族群文化協會主導著埔里地區巴宰族群復振，另一個鐵山社區發展協會主導著愛蘭台地社區營造時，他們都同樣訴求「愛蘭台地」這個地域作為一個整體的號召基礎。但在動員的歷程中，彼此又循著特定的社群價值(特指宗教信仰)，各自詮釋著巴宰卅船山等象徵圖象；在這過程中，兩者對於族群、文化想像與宗教差異的扞挌隱隱若現。
本研究討論認同論述與地方實踐的互動，所謂的認同論述包含國族主義與多元主義交錯影響下的文化政策與族群論述，地方實踐則包含地方歷史所生成的社群界線，以及其所促發的行動。本論文從兩方面─「我群的建構」與「他者的想像」來檢視社區營造與族群復振主事者的行動策略，強調文化並非特定事物(thing)，地方也無同質、單一的文化認同，由此論證本文主旨：地方是一種改變和過程的概念；地方從未「完成」，而總是處於流變（in the making）之中。

This thesis aims to explore how the agents construct the boundaries of community and culture in light of Project of Community Integrated Development and ethnic revitalization. The ethnographic site for the thesis is Ailan, Nantou, where Pazeh Ethnic Culture Association of Nantou County is assembled to revitalizes Pazeh, a Plain Aborigines tribe and yet Tie-Shan Community Development Association mobilizes community residents. Although “Ailan” as a place has been constructed by both organizations as a locale for uniting the whole people, it really means different things for those two organizations. The conflict over the definition of “Ailan” may be traced back to historically rooted religious
differences, ethnic differences, imagination of culture as well.
The thesis focuses on how identity and culture discourses are rendered in local practices. Identity discourses are connected to nationalism and multiculturalism, whereas local practices are the ways various discourses and policies are invoked and used in the local community. In the end, identity discourses and the ways they have been used are really the resources and strategies those two organizations constitute and transform the lines between “us” and “them”. I conclude by emphasizing that culture is not a thing, neither homogeneous nor unified in a location, and that hence locality is always in the making
