一位體制內教師成為轉化型知識分子的跨界之旅——帶著陌生人的觀點重返西藏自由運動

Abstract

我在臺灣教育體制內當了三十五年的國中老師，同時也投入西藏自由運動十二年，在不同場域跨界行動，期許成為轉化型知識分子。本研究以Greene的陌生人觀點為方法，重新回看及分析跨界運動的生命歷程，運用自我敘說的方式，將經驗再現及意義化。本論文的書寫先再現「老師我」與「西藏我」之間跨界行動的故事，再由「研究我」解讀此跨界的歷程與困境，最後搓揉經驗與理論，再概念化陌生人的觀點並建構陌生人觀點的方法。採二階段研究設計。第一階段是故事的書寫，透過自我文本、訪談三位協作者、文件分析，結合理論呈現教師跨界西藏自由運動的經驗，是在社會結構及個人的能動性間互動辯證的案例。第二階段是故事的探究，分析並討論我的重返經驗，在跨界轉化過程中以陌生人觀點為方法，使教師克服跨界社會運動的挑戰成為轉化型知識分子。本研究的主要發現如下： 一、教師跨界至西藏自由運動追尋成為自由解放的自己，需面對場域文化、角色期待、目的對象等不同的挑戰，在朝向成為轉化型知識分子的歷程中需要承擔轉化社會的公共責任、裝備轉化社會的能力並付諸行動，以Greene陌生人觀點為方法有助於突破跨界轉化的困境。 二、陌生人觀點與轉化型知識分子是一個交織的歷程，陌生人觀點的方法能使個人產生能動，突破結構限制而行動。 三、從跨界行動經驗建構陌生人觀點的方法：如Greene提及的哲學思維、覺醒、自我覺察、抽離、多樣化觀點等方法，以及由跨界轉化經驗衍生的靜心、觀點轉化、容許不確定性等方法。I have been a junior high school teacher for thirty-five years in Taiwan, and I have also devoted myself to the Free-Tibet movement for twelve years. This study centers around how a schoolteacher crossed boundaries to become a transformative intellectual agent through self-narration. By narrating and analyzing my experience from my praxis at school to the Free-Tibet Movement, I hope to reflect how Maxine Greene’s perspectives of teacher as stranger empower me to become a transformative intellectual.The main findings of this study are as follows:In the process of becoming a transformational intellectual, it is necessary to take public responsibility for society, develop the skills necessary to help change society, and take action. Learning from others and making reflection from a stranger’s perspectives are strategies that useful for bounder-crossing.Second, learning from strangers’ perspectives is intertwined with becoming a transformative intellectual. This is a two way interaction which empowered me to break through the constraints of social structures.Finally, I reconceptualize the perspective of teacher as stranger and develop the methods of the theory after the journey. For example, do philosophy, aware, self-conscious, withdraw, and diverse viewpoints mentioned by Greene. As well as meditation, perspective transformation, and accept uncertainty derived from my bounder-crossing experience.
