Abstract
本文聚焦於阿美族傳統樂舞（radiw與kero）的傳承實踐過程，旨在批評永續性論述中過於重視聲音形象（figure of sound）——即典範性且種族化的聲音標準——而忽略了人際關係與集體身體感的趨向。透過在都蘭和新北市的民族誌研究，我發現樂舞傳承經常需要都會原住民社群與墾居殖民機構合作，而這種合作使得社群的樂舞傳承實踐與多種外部能動者、方法及內容糾纏。許多傳承傳統樂舞的活動必須「加料」於傳統舞蹈表演或遵循檔案錄音的標準，使得社群的樂動實踐面臨被重塑的風險。即便如此，社群在回應這些策略性關係的過程中，也同時挑戰了殖民框架。本文透過描述社群如何穿梭並回應糾纏節點的過程，將文化永續性定義為一個倫理後設論述，以及不同價值之間動態協調與判斷的過程，而非對樂舞形式的靜態保存。最後本研究指出，策略性關係（如「加料」）的實踐如何成為擴展原住民感知主權（sensate sovereignty）的一種方式。
This article discusses the concept of sustainability as an
ethical metadiscourse that adjudicates competing value structures. Focusing on
the transmission of ’amis music and dance practices (radiw and kero),
the research criticizes sustainability discourse’s tendency to prioritize a
figure of sound–canonical and often racialized sonic standards–over embodied
and relational aspects of musicking. As my fieldwork in ’etolan and among urban
Indigenous communities in New Taipei City shows, musical transmission requires
communities to engage with settler agencies in ways that entangle their
practices with a variety of external actors, methods, and content. Often
efforts to transmit traditional musics require strategies such as “adding
flavor” to performances and adhering to archival recording standards, thus
reshaping musical practices. Yet, at the same time, communities navigate their
strategic relations in ways that challenge colonial frameworks. Through
ethnographic description of this process of navigation, this study defines
cultural sustainability as a dynamic negotiation of values rather than a static
preservation of forms. Finally, it shows how the enactment of strategic
relations, such as “adding flavor,” may serve as a means to expand Indigenous
sensate sovereignty.
