当代台湾的“族群想象”与“族群意识”

Ethnic Imagination and Ethnic Consciousness in the Contemporary Taiwan

由于特殊的历史原因以及现实的政治考量,台湾社会形成所谓"四大族群"的格局。文章比较详细地论述了这四大族群的区分及其出现时机,它们各自的族群想象与族群意识。从中可以发现,族群身份、族群意识、政治态度和行为三者间的关系可以成为台湾"族群政治"的研究路径。在当代台湾"族群意识"的形成过程之中,1947年的"二·二八事件"、1970年代以后反对运动的崛起与政治挑战以及2000年民进党执政之后激化族群意识等事件的影响重大。鉴于"省籍—族群"矛盾已对台湾社会造成极大的代价和伤痛,台湾岛内必须走出族群政治的漩涡,才能建构平等发展、共存共荣的族群关系。

The pattern of four ethnic groups in the Taiwan Residents society comes from special history and real politics.This paper discusses their discrimination, emergence timing, ethnic imagination and ethnic consciousness of the four ethnic groups. It can be found that the relationship between ethnic identity, ethnic consciousness and political bahaviors can prove to be an approach to studying the ethnic politics in Taiwan. The ＂2.28 Incident＂ in 1947, the rise of countermove and political challenge since 1970s, the intensification of ethnic consciousness after 2000 and so on bring about great influence during the formation of ethnic consciousness in the contemporary Taiwan. The ＂provincial- ethnic groups＂conflict has result in so great cost and harm that Taiwan should break away form the ethnic trap in order to build equel ethnic relations and to live together harmoniously.
