[ 摘要 ]

本論文以排灣族中、南部地區 頭目家屋壁板雕飾為例，探討日治時期雕刻中警察圖像的產生，描述此圖像的表現形式及特色，試圖從圖像的觀察出發，分析警察圖像對當時排灣族社會及部落族人的意義為何，了解新圖像產生其背後的因素及受到外來文化影響的過程。

在論文第一章首先回顧檢討之前學者在台灣原住民藝術方面的研究，並介紹與本研究主題相關的重要文獻、論著及排灣族雕刻品的搜集與田野調查的情形。

第二章對於所搜集的頭目家屋雕飾，詳細描述其主題、尺寸、形式、圖紋設計、警察圖像的造型及位置，並說明與雕刻品相關的資料如製作年代、雕刻師、家屋形式及空間配置、地理位置等；另外再比較分析排灣族傳統家屋雕刻的裝飾風格與日治時雕有警察像的雕飾板風格的異同。第三章藉由警察圖像所呈現的形式，去探討與圖像相關的內容，經歷史文獻的考察比照，了解當時警察的任務、功能、職責及生活等狀況。第四章針對警察圖像產生的原因及對為何出現在中、南排灣地區的問題加以研究，另一方面也對此形式造型受到外來文化影響作進一層的探究，包括當時總督府的教育、觀光政策使原住民有新的藝術觀及視覺經驗，或當時書報媒體的傳入，這些外來文化對新圖像的產生及雕刻形式的改變有著重要的影響。第五章是探討及詮釋警察圖像的意涵，透過圖像的分析比較，去解釋形式變遷背後所代表的意義，並藉許多文獻及田野調查的資料來佐證說明。

Based on the fieldwork in middle and south area of Paiwan, this thesis mainly discusses the formation of the police image found in aboriginal carvings. Viewing several wood carvings used to decorate the chieftain''''s house, author detects that the police image was originally found during the Japanese-owned period*. Via in-depth research, author tried to find the real meaning of the police iconography to the Paiwan people and society. Moreover in order to realize the alien culture impact, the hidden meaning behind the police iconography was also uncovered by author.

A brief article review about the research history of Taiwan aboriginal art will be provided in the first chapter, followed the methodology taken for this research will be demonstrated. The second chapter describes the research objectives - housing wood sculpture for chieftain''''s house - in very detail, including the wood carving''''s subject, size, scale, and different design style of police image. Furthermore the author makes an analytical comparison between the traditional Paiwan housing wood sculpture and the Japanese-owned Paiwan ones with police image. By researching the different images and some other related articles, the third chapter presents the possible missions, routine duties, and living ways of policemen in that time. The fourth chapter desires to realize the formation of police image in terms of culture impact from Japanese policies. Finally the fifth chapter tries to explain the implicit meaning of police image via providing a system approach, accompanied with many other clues, such as academic articles and fieldwork.
