Abstract
Most of the indigenous people have migrated to urban areas due to a variety of driving forces, or moved back and forth between the native rural and cities. With the process of becoming the urban indigenous people, this movement has inspired this research to think more about the idea of the “Taiwanese.” Moreover, the issue of the identity of these people, especially represented in literature works, provides an approach to link land with ethnic history. In terms of the perspective of the development of Taiwan's indigenous literature, this research seeks to investigate the works of Tuobasi?Tamapima and Badai’s works, and then reveals different attitudes and ways of forming the identity. As a result, the former illustrates the thinking of “Who am I?” while the latter shows the viewpoint of “Which name do I choose?” This comparison not only shows the difference of generations care, but also provides a new way to argue what is the “Aboriginal Literature.”
Language is an important part of cultural knowledge. This intellection is distinct from other cultural society, inclusive of writing to words. By translating, the writings in Chinese of aboriginals in Taiwan show plentiful meanings. Although the difference from Chinese and aboriginal language are apparent, the discussion about them must pay attention to some point of views: nation、race、class、religion、gender…etc. Because the subjects under discussion contain enormous significance to think, the translation anito folklore of Tao into Chinese is more interesting. I focus on anito folklore of Tao, and try to observe and establish the meanings for Tao, we can understand thread of thoughts in their traditional religion. Second, by comparing with anito and demon, reader could survey two types knowledge in each society and explain curious plot. Finally, investigating why the writers to choose the word “demon” to translate antio. Depend on the discussion, we could comprehend the relation about translation、folklore and culture.
