本課設計的宗旨，在藉由閱讀兩本以精細的民族誌研究為本的社會苦難經典著作，試圖了解（一）如何敘事底層人民的日常生活狀態；（二）如何由在地化貌似細瑣的田野資料，以連結全球人類社群（包括台灣）的生命經驗，並重新檢驗社會科學與文化研究的相關重要理論；（三）最重要的是，吾人如何可藉由底層人民的生存意志，以發展與時俱進的抵抗暴力和重建社會正義的具體策略、以及更關鍵的想像美好未來的能力。The purpose of this course is to try to understand (1) how to narrate the daily life of the people at the bottom by reading two classic works on social suffering based on sophisticated ethnographic research; (2) how to transform seemingly detailed stories into localized ones. We need to use detailed field data to connect the life experiences of human communities around the world (including Taiwan) and re-examine relevant important theories in social sciences and cultural studies; (3) Most importantly, how can we rely on the will of the people at the bottom to survive? , in order to develop specific strategies to resist violence and rebuild social justice that keep pace with the times, and more importantly, the ability to imagine a better future.
