台灣伊斯蘭教(臺灣仍慣稱回教)的發展自古至今分為兩個階段,即明清時 期與 1949 及以後,且皆由中國大陸遷移而來。隨著 1949 年國民黨退居臺灣以來, 數萬信奉伊斯蘭教的軍公教人員分多批次隨之來台,使伊斯蘭教(回教)在臺灣 的發展加入了新的蓬勃血脈,雖然來台原因多有悲情成分,但此卻可謂是伊斯蘭 教(回教)在近現代正式傳入臺灣之始。 作為台灣的極少數族群,僅佔台灣人口 0.23%的台灣華人穆斯林如今已有明 顯的地方化與生活化現象,隨著老一代教胞的逐漸消逝與新生代脫教問題在該群 族中日益顯現,臺灣華人穆斯林的傳承問題便尤為棘手。對於臺灣社會來講,甚 少有人留意這群在臺灣多元社會中來自他鄉的離散者,實踐著與臺灣宗教生活中 佔據主流地方的佛教、道教信仰截然不同之宗教。此番情勢與穆斯林議題在世界 範圍內的討論熱度天壤之別,但卻與台灣在世界版圖中咸少被人提及的情況不謀 而合,而這本身亦是一種「弔詭」的現象值得人們反思。 本創作是台灣首次以民族誌影像的方式,利用紀實攝影手法完成的專題圖片 深度報導,主要拍攝為北台灣華語穆斯林族群,選取台北清真寺及桃園龍岡清真 寺為田野調查點,通過在這兩座清真寺進行日常禮拜的穆斯林,尋找不同年齡 層、不同性別、不同家庭環境的拍攝對象,力圖盡可能全面的再現北台灣華語穆 斯林宗教活動及日常生活的點滴過程,并最終以展覽形式呈現於世人。 / Islam in Taiwan-usually still called Hui Religion-has developed as two stages, Ming & Qing Dynasties and after 1949, which both were originated from Mainland China. Since Kuomintang’s retreat in 1949, thousands of Islamic soldiers came to Taiwan, infusing new blood into Islam’s development. Although the retreat is somewhat tragic, this could be called the formal initiation of modern Islam in Taiwan. Living as minorities in Taiwan with a population of only 0.23% in Taiwan, Asian Islam have been very much localized. Given that old Muslims are passing away and new generations are no longer believing in Islam, the problem of inheritance becomes more and more tough. In Taiwan, few people notice that these travelers have been living a different religious life different from the mainstream Buddhism or Taoism, which is totally the opposite compared with the world scale. However, both being ignored by the world, it coincides with Taiwan’s international position, which is unusual and worth study. This investigative project is designed to show as realistic as possible Asian Islam’s life in Taiwan as a whole by documenting religious and daily lives of Muslims of different ages, genders and families through photography, who are mainly from Northern Taiwan. Field researches have been done in Taipei Mosque and Taoyuan City Mosque. The final product will be a photo exhibition the mass.
