掀起妳的和服來：日治臺灣「婦人病院」性病監控體系
Venereal Disease, Prostitution, and the Politics of Colonial Difference: The Case of 'Lock Hospitals' in Colonial Taiwan
摘要
本文探討日治臺灣「婦人病院」（娼妓檢診治療機構）的殖民地性傳染病監控體系。從婦人與病院兩個研究面向，分別探討其監控對象、機構操作及其制度安排的政治經濟基礎。「掀起妳的和服來」，意指性病檢查同時具有性與性別化的醫療行動、殖民與種族差別治理的多重意義。檢查形式極具強制性與對象性，梅毒等同於花柳病，監控對象指向娼妓。另一方面，性傳染病問題，既負有生產的損失，又有治療的代價。透過官方資方勞方共同負擔的制度安排，既得以克服醫療財政負擔，又有利性經濟的再生產。然而，殖民地生命政治有其種族和性別的優位排序。面對殖民地女性對身體檢查形式的抗拒，以及專門機構醫事人力與收容能力的雙重限制，日治初期曾一度出現臺灣人娼妓後門條款，將其排除於強制入院收容對象，改行定期到院門診治療模式。在日治中期以前，性病監控體系主要仍限定於日本從娼女性而從未及於日臺男性消費者。

In Taiwan, the state regulation of sexuality began with Japanese colonialism. A close look at the imperial logic of regulation will reveal that the political rationale was race protection in colonies. Behind the colonial social hygiene discourse were specific gender and racial priorities. Lock Hospital as colonial disciplinary institution thereby imposed regular inspection and juridical treatment on Japanese registered prostitute inpatients. For the resistance to genital examinations and the limits of institutional operation, there was once an alternate model to Taiwanese prostitute outpatients. What is more, to consider the venereal diseases as a politic economical issue, for the colonial authority, it had the economic loss of production and the price of medical expense. The colonial Lock Hospital supported by the official, the capital and the prostitute patients provides a reasonable institutional arrangement as a self-financing system. The specific financial framework elucidates why the medical inspection of prostitutes in colonial Taiwan workable but in Western colonies not.
