| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北藝術大學 === 博物館研究所碩士班 === 101 === Two Qing Dynasty portraits of the Pingpu Pazeh tribe Lahodobool people, “Dun Zai in Formal Attire Portrait” and “Dun Zai in Leisure Activity” showing strong Han culture and logic in their images became the collections of the Taiwan Office of the Governor-general Museum during the Japanese colonial period to showcase the paradigm of the “naturalization of the familiar savages.”
This research will use these drawings as research media with the use of a linear-time framework often used in historical texts. The research will collect special image meanings in this type of drawings and try to understand the stories in the images by referencing them to records of text materials. Interpretations such as induction, comparison and integration are done after extensive collection of all kinds of historical data and text. By referencing them with other same types of drawings of the Lahodobool Pan clan, during the process the research tries to reconstruct the situation and awareness at the time and discusses how the clan was influenced by foreign culture, their changes, experience and attitudes in their adaption.
Moreover, as “cultural material evidence,” museum collections are not only the external characterization of the connotations of the socio-cultural system, they also carry the history formed by the crisscrossing of people, memory and social culture of different times and spaces. Through museum exhibition, the interpreter’s imagination and knowledge of the two drawings are showcased, it also enables further discussions of multi-cultural understanding and dynamic historical process the object reflects, and forms a tripartite dialogue among the object, people and the museum. In addition, as an offspring of the Lahodobool Pan clan, the research reflects on if the embodiment of multiple perspectives and multiple meanings modern museums emphasize on is enough to stimulate the communication characteristic of a “forum” in order to fulfill the museum’s value of existence.
