The development of Miramar Resort in Taitung, Taiwan has attracted much debate and attention in the past ten years. The case contains themes of rural poverty, indigenous agency, environmental protection, and economic development; therefore, any potential outcome has far-reaching and deeper implications for the local rural and indigenous residents but also for Taiwanese society’s future approaches to similar development projects which appear to pit economic development against environmental protection and indigenous rights. Through qualitative interviews, this case study examines dynamics of power and agency from an environmental justice standpoint, focusing on the themes of how landscape perception is shaped and utilized by outsiders to gain agency and how reliance of rural communities upon the state serve as a limiting force in their development. Such dynamics have shaped responses to the Miramar case and can reinforce existing inequalities if not considered critically.

In addition to the theory of montage of Eisenstein s movie, this research will also use the concept of image from Ezra Pound theory of imagism in order to understand the process of condensing the image used in Oswald de Andrade novel. We also analyze the process of metonymy, caused by telegraphic language used in the novel, and the possible presence of cubism in the concatenation of its chapters and juxtaposition-pieces in order to corroborate the theory that Oswald de Andrade anticipates several concepts of modern literary theory, creating, therefore, a real poetry of visuality in his work / Esta dissertação tem por objetivo alcançar uma possível leitura do romance, Memórias Sentimentais de João Miramar, a partir das concepções teóricas do cinema Eisensteiniano, uma vez que constatamos a necessidade de uma técnica de montagem na leitura dos capítulos-fragmentos presentes na obra oswaldiana. Além da teoria da montagem do cinema eisensteiniano, esta pesquisa também fará uso do conceito de imagismo poundiano, a fim de compreender o processo de condensação da imagem utilizado na prosa miramariana. Analisaremos também o processo de construção metonímico, provocado pela linguagem telegráfica utilizada no romance, e a possível presença do cubismo na concatenação e justaposição dos seus capítulos-fragmentos, a fim de corroborar a tese de que Oswald antecipa diversos conceitos da moderna teoria literária, criando, portanto, uma verdadeira poética da visualidade em sua obra

Al iniciar esta investigación, surgen diversas preguntas que servirán de apoyo y de base para el desarrollo del presente trabajo: ¿Cómo las prácticas funerarias reflejan las identidades sociales de acuerdo al género y edad de cada individuo?, ¿cuáles son los elementos materiales que permiten esta identificación y diferenciación entre unos individuos y otros? y, considerando que el único material significativo para el establecimiento de la cronología relativa en este caso particular es la cerámica, ¿qué datos nos puede dar sus formas y decoraciones? En base a estas preguntas, surge el tema de este trabajo: el reconocimiento de un comportamiento funerario hacia fines del Horizonte Medio en los 20 entierros extraídos de la zona noroeste de la “Necrópolis de Ancón”. Asimismo, el presente estudio, nos permitió aproximarnos de manera preliminar a las identidades adquiridas según rango etario, género y, eventualmente, status. De acuerdo a investigaciones anteriores acerca de los entierros en la costa central, se ha determinado que durante esta época surgieron múltiples identidades que tuvieron un desarrollo independiente en cada región. Para este trabajo, se toma el caso particular de 20 contextos funerarios (correspondientes a 31 individuos en total) excavados en el año 1994 como parte del Proyecto Arqueológico “Tumbas de Ancón”, dirigido por el arqueólogo Federico Kauffmann con la asistencia de Miguel Cornejo. Para este propósito y gracias al apoyo de la arqueóloga Lucía Watson, directora del Centro de Investigaciones Arqueológicas de Ancón, se tuvo acceso a todo el material cerámico, óseo humano, óseo animal, metálico, malacológico y orgánico (textil y botánico) provenientes de estas excavaciones. A pesar de las fastidiosas limitaciones a causa de la calidad del registro de campo, se ha llegado a conclusiones básicas pero importantes que han podido ser confrontadas con los estudios anteriores realizados en Ancón-Miramar, y que podrán, asimismo, ser cotejadas con estudios posteriores en esta zona.

本研究透過針對台東縣都蘭社群建造傳統竹筏所記載的民族誌，探索該社群在政府授權的美麗灣民間興建營運後轉移模式(BOT)發展案中的角色與互動。研究內容包括了(1)對民間興建營運後轉移之模式的總體回顧，以及美麗灣此個案的評估。(2)在地阿美族社群對發展計畫反對的詳細論述。(3)在替代發展方案上的建議。我的田野調查包含了在社群集會與示威抗議活動上的參與觀察，但調查的重心則立基於一條阿美竹筏建造與出海的過程。本文的結論提供了一套能夠兼顧在地居民互動及外來廠商利益的發展方案，旨在透過融合相關各方的觀點以圖能夠減少衝突並促進共同利益。 / This research explores the dimensions and interactions of the Amis community under the Miramar Resort (MR) Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) development project authorized by the local county government through an ethnographic approach on the construction of a traditional bamboo raft in the township of Dulan, Taitung, Taiwan. The content of this study includes (1) A status review of the BOT policy in general and the MR development project in particular, (2) A detailed account of the local Amis community’s opposition to the project, and (3) Suggestion on alternative methods of land management. My fieldwork includes participant observation in the context of seminar meetings and activist demonstrations. However the centerpiece of the research at Dulan revolves around my personal participation in the construction of an Amis traditional bamboo raft and its launching into the ocean. Conclusions offer alternative ways for the development of an area that is interactive with indigenous peoples and outside commercial interests. The perspective taken is aimed at alleviating conflict through incorporating the views of stakeholders in the best interests of all parties involved.
