碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 人類學研究所 === 106 === This thesis mainly focuses on Qing-Liu tribe which used to be called Kawanakajima in the Japanese colonial period. Seediq people who survived from the Wushe rebellion were forcibly relocated to this new location in 1931. This paper argues that how these Yu-sheng(survivors) regain their lives and reconstruct their new village, and how they became a “model tribe” in the Japanese colonizer’s eyes. In this historical process, there are also what we need to concern. The fact that the Wushe rebellion uprising prompted the government-general (總督府) to launch sweeping Aboriginal policy (理蕃政策) reforms as important frames of this paper, I also rethink that how colonialism and colonial modernity interrelate each other. Following chapters are consequently composed by three important modern concepts which are space, time and body. In the last part, I completely turn the perspective over to the different direction. Throughout examining the colonial emotion and memory of Seediq people, this thesis also tries to cast off the binary opposition of colonialism such as colonize and be-colonized. Their emotions and memories of ambivalence affords us the new perspective to view colonialism and people’s agency in the colonial history that previous studies have never discussed.
