導言:「服貿」爭議與客家／族群研究

Abstract

如果從「客家研究」，乃至「族群研究」的角度來看，我們該如何看待「服貿協議」對客家族群與其他弱勢族群的可能影響呢？更進一步講，在對「服貿協議」進行分析時，「族群」又到底是不是個有其「獨特運作邏輯」的「概念」呢？這篇導言回顧了本期「議題論辯」──「服貿」爭議與客家／族群研究──的9篇文章，並將其分成三大類，包括(1). 理解「服貿」爭議的一般性概念架構(i.e., 黃應貴、林秀幸、張翰璧)；(2). 「族群」做為理解「服貿」影響的可能變項(i.e., 謝世忠、黃世明、黃智慧)；以及(3). 「族群」做為理解「服貿」影響的觀察場域(i.e., 黃紹恆、劉介修、邱星崴)。本導言的結語指出，一方面，我們似乎無法同意「『服貿』對『族群』沒有影響」這樣的說法；另一方面，在對「服貿」之影響進行分析的時候，「族群」雖然在某些場域上是個重要的變項，但在某些場域上卻必須配合其他變項（比如說「地域」）才可能觀察到其影響力。

What is the possible influence of the Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement (hereafter CSSTA) on the Hakka and other minority groups from the perspective of Hakka / Ethnic Studies? In other words, through analyzing the impact of the CSSTA, is ethnicity really a social fact having an existence of its own in a Durkheimian sense? This introduction gives an overview of the nine articles of Issue and Debates and classifies these writings into three categories: (1) the general framework for analyzing the controversy surrounding the CSSTA (i.e., Ying-kuei Huang, Hsiu-hsin Lin, and Han-pi Chang); (2) treating ethnicity as a possible variable via which this dispute can be comprehended (i.e., Shih-chung Hsieh, Shi-ming Huang, and Chih-huei Huang); and (3) seeing ethnicity as a possible lens through which to view this dispute (i.e., Shaw-herng Huang, Chieh-hsiu Liu and Hsing-wei Chiu). The essay concludes that it cannot be said that the CSSTA has no impact on ethnicity.
