演講摘要 Presentation Abstract （場次一、三/ Session I& II）

重塑博物館邊界：從殖民遺緒走向多元敘事的未來

博物館一直以來都帶有歐洲中心的視角，多數國家所繼承的博物館，也有深深植入的殖民背景。作為保存文化遺產的機構，博物館在國家社會與經濟發展中扮演著關鍵角色。
但是博物館展室中常呈現出的敘述不平衡，對很多博物館來說克服這樣的問題是個艱鉅的挑戰。在全球社會快速變遷的當下，博物館也必須重新思考與想像自己未來應該成為什麼樣的博物館。
本演講將探討幾個案例，說明博物館如何突破既有的疆界，走向未來。

RESHAPING THE MUSEUM FRONTIERS
Museums are known to be euro-centric by origin and most countries have inherited them with strong colonial contexts imbedded in them. They are institutions that are vital for the preservation of heritage and play a key role in the social and economic development of nations.
However, many museums face a real challenge to overcome the unbalanced narratives which at times are pronounced in these spaces. In an era of a rapidly changing global community, museums are left to rethink and reimagine what sort of museums they should be in the future. In this presentation we explore some examples of how museums can challenge the current museum frontiers going into the future.

場次一、「原來是這樣：博物館如何再現動態的傳統生態知識」

Session I: "Representing the Dynamics of Traditional Ecological Knowledge in Museums"

本場次聚焦於傳統生態知識(TEK)。傳統生態知識並非靜態的；它會隨著社會與環境變遷而調適或斷裂。因此，要在博物館脈絡中「再現真實」，我們必須討論知識與社會文化變遷間的動態關係。

This session focuses on Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK). TEK is not static; it adapts or fractures with social and environmental changes. Therefore, to "represent reality" in a museum context, we must discuss the dynamic relationship between knowledge and socio-cultural changes.

比令亞布／臺中市博屋瑪原民實驗國民小學校長

Mr. Pilin Yabu, Principal of Taichung City P’uma Elementary School 

泰雅族人，成長於苗栗麻必浩部落，從耆老身上習得泰雅智慧，這奠定了他日後推動原住民教育改革的基礎。作為影像工作者，他以「原住民自身的影像觀點」記錄泰雅文化，作品《彩虹的故事》受邀國際展出。他任教的博屋瑪國小為臺灣第一所原住民族實驗國民小學，秉持「讓學生擁有泰雅族的靈魂」理念，每週提供十節泰雅文化課程，採用主題式跨領域教學。在他與團隊帶領下，學生文化認同強烈，學力也高於全國平均。比令亞布曾獲教育部師鐸獎、校長領導卓越獎，並獲選為政大傑出校友。他積極串聯全臺三十多所原住民族實驗學校，致力重建原住民知識系統，開創教育轉型。

Pilin Yabu, an Atayal from Miaoli's Mapihaw community, learned traditional wisdom from tribal elders, an experience that shaped his pioneering work in Indigenous education reform. As a filmmaker documenting Atayal culture from Indigenous perspectives, his film The Story of the Rainbow has gained international recognition.

He leads P'uma Elementary School, Taiwan's first Indigenous experimental elementary school, guided by the philosophy of "giving students an Atayal soul." The school provides ten weekly Atayal cultural curriculum sessions using cross-disciplinary approaches, resulting in students with strong cultural identity and above-average academic performance.

Recipients of the Ministry of Education's Teacher Award and Principal Leadership Excellence Award, and a distinguished National Chengchi University alumnus, Pilin Yabu connects over thirty Indigenous experimental schools across Taiwan. He works to rebuild Indigenous knowledge systems and transform Taiwan's Indigenous education landscape.

演講摘要 Presentation Abstract

培育泰雅靈魂：博屋瑪國小面對變遷世界的生態知識教育

Nurturing Atayal Souls: Teaching Ecological Knowledge at P'uma Elementary School Amid a Changing World

本演講將以博屋瑪國民小學為案例，闡述博屋瑪國小如何透過「讓學生擁有泰雅族的靈魂」的核心理念，設計跨領域課程體系，使傳統生態知識在現代教育脈絡中獲得重新詮釋與實踐，這當中包含教育團隊需先意識到傳統生態知識在原住民族教育中的動態實踐與挑戰，亦需考量目前教育體系的框架，再以泰雅文化精神設計課綱與教學方法。演講亦將討論博物館等文化機構與學校合作的倫理實踐模式，如何使傳統生態智慧不僅作為展示對象，更應成為知識傳承與創新的活力源泉，在強化文化認同的同時，如何提升學生面對當代社會挑戰的整體能力，相關方法將可為原住民族教育提供轉型的可能途徑。

P'uma Elementary School, the first in Taiwan to implement Indigenous experimental education, will be presented as a case study to illustrate how the school designs interdisciplinary curricula  with the core philosophy of "giving students an Atayal soul." This allows traditional ecological knowledge to be reinterpreted and integrated into modern educational contexts. The process begins with the educational team recognizing the dynamic nature and challenges of traditional ecological knowledge within Indigenous education, alongside the realities of the current educational system. Based on this understanding, they design curricula and teaching methods rooted in Atayal cultural values.

The presentation will also discuss ethical partnership models between cultural institutions such as museums and schools, exploring how traditional ecological wisdom can serve not merely as objects for display but as vital sources for knowledge transmission and innovation. The discussion will also focus on strengthening cultural identity and enhancing students' ability to navigate contemporary social challenges. It will explore how these approaches create transformative pathways for Indigenous education.

島嶼、海洋與家園：國立臺灣史前文化博物館南島文化的傳統生態知識

Islands, Oceans, and Homeland: The National Museum of Prehistory Presents Traditional Ecological Knowledge in Austronesian Cultures

國立臺灣史前文化博物館（以下簡稱史前館）未來四年的願景是：「以重現、復振與再生為策略，成為臺灣史前文化、南島歷史、社會、環境與文化的核心樞紐；並通過創新與富有趣味的體驗方式，啟發人們探索並反思臺灣在全球的定位。」在此願景下，傳統生態知識將成為理解南島文化中的環境、歷史、社會變遷等重要面向的關鍵，並且對於台灣原住民族來說，亦是一種凝聚家園認同的知識體系。此次演講將說明，史前館在未來四年發展計劃中，為何將傳統生態知識視為南島文化研究與展示的重要方向之一，並探討相關理念與規劃。

Over the next four years, the National Museum of Prehistory envisions becoming a core hub for Taiwan's prehistoric culture and Austronesian history, society, environment, and culture. Through restoration, revitalization, and regeneration strategies, the museum aims to offer innovative and engaging experiences that inspire the public to reflect on Taiwan’s place in the world. Within this vision, traditional ecological knowledge is key to understanding important aspects of environment, history, and social change in Austronesian culture. For Taiwan's Indigenous peoples, it is  a knowledge system that anchors identity and connection to homeland. This presentation outlines why traditional ecological knowledge is a key focus in the museum’s four-year development plan for Austronesian cultural research and exhibition. It will also introduce related concepts and explore how this focus is being integrated into future planning.

As the director of the Puppetry Art Center of Taipei, he leads efforts to engage new audiences with traditional performing arts.

演講摘要 Presentation Abstract

偶戲源於動態的表演藝術，將台北偶戲館視為一個面向觀眾與創作者的開放交流平台。為突破觀眾對偶戲的既定印象，將偶戲視為跨文化溝通的橋樑，邀請視覺藝術、設計等不同領域的創作者參與展演，結合當代敘事手法，展現偶戲的多樣面貌。同時提供劇場舞台與創作空間，激發創作者的表演動能，使偶戲表演者與其他藝術實踐者能在此激盪交流，共同探索當代偶戲表演的新可能。

Puppetry originates from dynamic performing arts, and the Puppetry Art Center of Taipei is viewed as an open exchange platform for both audiences and creators. To break through the audience's preconceived notions of puppetry, it treats puppetry as a bridge for cross-cultural communication, inviting creators from different fields such as visual arts and design to participate in performances, combining contemporary narrative methods to showcase the diverse aspects of puppetry. At the same time, it provides theatrical stages and creative spaces to stimulate creators' performance energy, allowing puppetry performers and other artistic practitioners to engage in stimulating exchanges here, jointly exploring new possibilities for contemporary puppetry performances.

演講摘要 Presentation Abstract

偶戲藏品的保存修護，不僅關乎物理結構的穩定與外觀的完整，更涉及文化意涵與歷史痕跡的尊重與延續。面對兼具藝術性、表演性與社群記憶的偶戲文物，修護決策往往需要在保留原貌、因應後續使用（如展示、研究、再上台演出）與回應社群期待之間，取得動態平衡。根據不同使用目的，如典藏保存、靜態展示或條件性再演出，修護師需量身擬定合適的策略，包括評估是否允許互動操作、複製使用，或設定使用條件與範圍。過程中亦可能面對來自原社群或相關利益方的質疑，如何在尊重多元觀點與專業判斷間做出回應與調整，是實務中不可忽視的挑戰。透過跨領域協作與多元視角的導入，偶戲文物方能在妥善保存中持續發聲，延續其文化生命。
The conservation of puppetry artifacts involves both technical and cultural considerations. Beyond stabilizing physical materials, conservators must also respect the objects’ historical traces and cultural significance. Puppets often carry artistic, performative, and community meanings, making conservation decisions especially complex.

Depending on future use—such as storage, exhibition, or potential re-performance—conservation strategies must be adapted. This includes considering interactive access, replicas, and defining clear use conditions. Conservators may also face concerns from source communities, requiring thoughtful negotiation between professional judgment and cultural perspectives. By embracing interdisciplinary collaboration and pluralistic thinking, museums can ensure puppetry collections are not only preserved, but continue to speak to present and future audiences.

演講摘要 Presentation Abstract

從皮毛到知識系統：布農族鞣皮工藝知識的博物館實踐與去殖民再思

From Pelts to Knowledge Systems: Museum Practices and Decolonizing of Bunun Leather Tanning 

本文以布農族鞣皮工藝知識為核心，探討在博物館場域中如何進行原住民族知識再現與實踐，並以臺灣臺東的海端鄉布農族文化館之經驗為例。鞣皮工藝不只是傳統生活與穿戴藝術，更涉及在國家法律體系下，原住民族傳統生態知識的權力關係，從而由博物館的公共場域進行研究、重製與傳習時，更帶有文化去污名化的挑戰。本文試圖回應博物館作為文化中介，如何從原住民族觀點來轉譯與建構狩獵文化與鞣皮工藝知識，進而推動知識主權與去殖民化的實踐。

This paper focuses on the leather tanning craft of the Bunun people, exploring how Indigenous knowledge can be represented and practiced in museum settings, with a focus on the Bunun Cultural Museum in Haiduan Township, Taitung, Taiwan. Leather tanning is more than a traditional craft or wearable art; it embodies complex power dynamics surrounding Indigenous traditional ecological knowledge within the framework of national legal systems. When research, reproduction, and transmission of this knowledge occur in the public sphere of museums, they face the challenge of cultural de-stigmatization. This paper attempts to address how museums, as cultural mediators, can translate and reconstruct hunting culture and leather tanning craft knowledge from Indigenous perspectives. In doing so, museums promote knowledge sovereignty and advance decolonization practices.

不再叫他/她Sungaw：魯凱視角下的臺灣近代歷史圖像

No Longer Calling Them "Sungaw": Modern Taiwanese History from a Rukai Perspective

沒有文字的Ngudradrekai (Drekai、Rukai、魯凱)，以生活的實踐和語彙，紀載著祖先世代傳承的知識與智慧，給予後代子孫生存和延續命脈的指引。本文試圖由此傳統方式切入，從「lraili」(箭)到「kwange」(槍) 、從「drangalreu」(守護)到「kadrenge」(看守) 、 從「Sungaw」到「布農」等語彙背後的時空背景和人群互動，更近一步探索2021年臺灣博館和魯凱族文物館共展之「Lawbubulu魯凱珍寶」特展中，以魯凱為視角的臺灣近代歷史圖像。

Without a written language, the Ngudradrekai (Drekai, Rukai) have recorded their ancestral knowledge and wisdom through lived experience and oral vocabulary, providing guidance for the survival and continuity of future generations. This paper adopts a traditional epistemological approach to explore the temporal-spatial background and group interactions reflected in vocabularies such as the shift from "lraili" (arrow) to "kwange" (gun), from "drangalreu" (protection) to "kadrenge" (guarding), and from "Sungaw" to "Bunun." It further examines how these linguistic and cultural transitions are reflected in visual and historical representations from a Rukai perspective, as presented in the 2021 special exhibition Lawbubulu: Treasures of Rukai, co-organized by the National Taiwan Museum and the Rukai Cultural Museum.
