【國立臺灣大學人類學系週五學術演講系列】 講題｜Weaves, Words, Worth: Threading Tradition, Toil and Technology 講者｜Dr. Hermel O.

Anthropological fieldwork in Philippine villages led to the conceptualization of the research, pursuing the question why machines introduced by government agencies are abandoned, and why mass production of PALF stops at producing only 90% of the raw material which is then exported. The search for another model of PALF production focuses on a Philippine village which resists by insisting on manual production of fiber from another, better-yielding species （Ananas comosus/ red Spanish/ pinyang Bisaya） and in southern Taiwan, which has a farm-to-product model of PALF production. Face to face with a colonial economic model of resource extraction and cheap labor and the production and accumulation of wealth, PALF weavers deploy artistic agency, human ingenuity, and tenacity in spirit to resist commodification and the commonplace. They find time to sit and weave. Women’s life stories resonate in their practice, product, and performance. Pineapple, hitherto a colonial plant species itself, is thus imbricated into the warp and weft, the mirth and mystique of rituals and scripts of precolonial everyday life. ★本演講毋須報名，歡迎所有師生自由參加★ | ||||
