福爾摩沙的「健行」：清法戰爭期間法國軍官薩勒影像之研究

薩勒（André Salles）是清法戰爭期間攻臺的法國軍官，在臺拍攝四十五張照片，留下許多戰火以外的人文地景記錄，展示出與其他十九世紀晚期來臺的外國人不同的面向。日後，他也成為了東南亞紀實攝影的先驅。身為海軍的薩勒，因喜歡爬山與攝影，故在清法戰爭期間拍攝的照片包含從海上軍艦視角所拍攝臺灣北部海岸線、法軍戰爭期間的日常，以及當地人的生活形貌與和法軍的互動。相對於過往外國人拍攝的臺灣影像，薩勒的影像更多了他個人對於自身知識實踐與反省的意義。這個自我實踐的意義，正好能說明帝國主義所蘊含的矛盾與複雜性。基於這點，本研究透過薩勒拍攝的照片、底片筆記，以及他在法國山岳俱樂部（Club Alpin Français）刊物發表的文章，說明他在戰爭期間的經歷與想法，並分析這些影像背後的歷史意義。

並列摘要

Many French navy officers left memoirs and critiques regarding the Sino-French War (1884-85). One of them was André Salles (1860-1929), an administrative officer of the French cruiser L’Éclaireur. Salles showed great enthusiasm for hiking and photography. Therefore, with the combination of his interests and personal characteristics, his works presented a different perspective from other foreigners visiting Taiwan in the late 19th century. Salles’ works concerning the period he stayed in Formosa and the Pescadores Islands included about 45 photographic plates and the article he published on Annuaire of Club Alpin Français in 1885. His photographs record not only the coastline of northern Taiwan, the military tasks of the French soldiers during the wartime, but represent the material culture and life of local residents, especially their interaction with French officers. This thesis shows Salles’ experiences and thoughts behind the camera scenes by analyzing the content of his notes on the package of the plates and his publication. On the basis of study findings, the case of Salles can illustrate the contradictions and complexities of imperialism and offer a glimpse into the history of Taiwanese society intertwined with the world in the late 19th century.
