英文摘要 | Amis or "Pangcah" people who live in the Eastern Rift Valley of Taiwan have developed their practice of ritual worship led by "Sikawasay" shaman groups. Rituals represent historical memories and perform multispecies relationships, and they have continuously changed as the Amis transitioned to new subsistence strategies. During the Japanese colonial period, planting wet rice and raising domestic pigs resulted in new adaptations of the ritual activities. Environmental change of the traditional territory has resulted in the change of different ritual venues as well as means of worship. These changes have also altered the contents of collective historical memories and the ritually perceived landscape. Urbanization has further accelerated the process of change by creating new spaces and new forms of commodification for ritual materials. This paper discusses the changes of ritual landscapes and multispecies networks. My discussion focuses on the change of multispecies relationships during the ritual cycles-especially on the use of three kinds of animal-related practices: the symbolical "catching the bird in the field" cleansing ritual performed by shamans, the use of sacred boat ritual routes and fish catching rituals performed by male age-grade groups, and the "pigs for the ancestors" offering during the family funeral ritual. Furthermore, this research proposes the importance of landscape renewal, which refers to and reflects on the impact of environmental change on local habitats as well as the consequences of urbanization on the Amis cultural memory. This paper discusses contemporary issues such as changes of religious events, social practice, and environmental recognition as planetary emergency. |
