本文從台灣當代原住民漢語文學的作品中，闡明原住民文化藉由「自我符號化」的能力，產生一種對閱讀詮釋的批判力。主文分為三大節：首先從「文化的展演」出發，探究在台灣當代原住民漢語文學作品內，關於「知識的符號化」與「信仰的符號化」問題。第二部分，談論原住民文學書寫在語言形式上進行的遊戲批判力。這裡將指出，原住民漢語創作在語言上，將「漢語」是為一種「工具」擺弄戲耍，目的是要掩蔽、阻止觀看者的眼光太過直接地滲透。最後再從文學書寫的層面拓展到「原住民性」的問題上，也就是當原住民漢語文學不斷在「題材上」被觀看者期待著具有「原住民性」時，其實所謂的「原住民性」也可以只是一種「自我符號化」後的展示。

The study design was adopted by reading Taiwanese aboriginal literature and finding how aboriginal learn interpreting ability and critical thinking by self-symbolization. There are three main sections in this study. First section was survey “Culture Performance” which discovered topics on “Knowledge Symbolization” and “Religious Symbolization.” In the second part, the study showed how aboriginal showed trick critical discourse in writing. It meant aboriginal use writing in “Mandarin” as a “Means” to trick in order to hide, cover and stop the direct view from observers. At last, from view of the literature writing extend to “Characteristic of Aboriginal, “when aboriginal literature topics always expected full of “Characteristic of Aboriginal,” the “Characteristic of Aboriginal” demonstration could be called sort of “Self-Symbolization.”
