碩士 / 國立臺東大學 / 南島文化研究所 / 96 / Age organization has been the focus of Amis culture study all the time. Following the entrance of nation and influence of capitalism, age organization has become the compare study, from the central study, with other social organization. By observing community life, age organization is not only “seen” in the harvest festival. It’s helpful for understanding Amis culture, if we can figure out age organization’s meaning in different aspects.
This essay is studying how age organization continues and transforms in community and religion. By methodizing past bibliography, age organization’s function, in surface, has become the preparation in harvest festival from tribe defense and labor instigation. In fact, we still can see that local people apply the concept of age organization in different aspects when they facing the entrance of new social organization. By analyzing tribe ritual and live ceremony, it shows the age organization was influenced by social transition, and it brings the new culture meaning, too.
In the case of women joining age organization, it skips over the regulation of male. By joining the pork-eating occasion, male emale age organizations display the concept of tribe unity. Besides, analyzing the pork-eating from pig-killing not only explains local people’s discrimination in activities, but also performs the idea of social order. Contrasting pork, rice’s raw and ripe illustrates the culture meaning of co-eating and divide-eating.
