近廿年來拉勞蘭部落逐步開展多項文化復振工作，並重建會所制度，亦與其他部落青年會就原住民社會議題進行串聯，於東臺灣形成一股不可忽視的發展動力。拉勞蘭部落透過尋找與建構服飾、祭儀等儀式，逐漸形成自己獨特的形式，青年會的各級青年服飾與晉級儀式，亦有自己一套建構的特色跟系統。其中三年一次的青年會會長交接儀式，無論過程、形式、意義、象徵、詮釋、結果等，都有諸多可與儀式、展演、文化認同等理論展開相互對話，來認識拉勞蘭此一「特殊的排灣族」。本文試著從相關角度分析2011年所舉辦第五任拉勞蘭青年會會長交接儀式，期能提供更深刻認識該部落與青年會形塑自身文化意涵之可能的參考。

Over the past two decades, the Lalauran Community has been carrying out a diversity of cultural revival activities, including an emphasis on the rebuilding of its traditional meeting hall system. The Lalauran traditional youth union has an alliance relationship with other youth unions from different tribal communities and is connected to indigenous social issues and to a strong developmental force in eastern Taiwan. The Lalauran Community has gradually reclaimed its unique features and traditions such as the clothing and rituals of the traditional youth union. One such ritual is the installation of a new leader held every three years. No matter from the perspective of process, form, meaning, symbolism, interpretation or outcome, etc., there is much reciprocal dialogue that can be carried out in relation to the theories of ritual, performance and cultural identity in the pursuit of a better understanding of "the distinctive Paiwan culture" of Lalauran. The aim of this study is to analyze, from the relevant perspectives, the fifth Lalauran traditional youth union leadership installation ritual which took place in 2011. It is expected that the results of this study will be a valuable reference for gaining a deep understanding of the cultural connotations that have been shaped within this community and its traditional youth union.
