從冷戰孤島到兩岸節點？金門高粱酒的跨域流動之前哨意義再生產

Abstract

金門本身複雜的政治歷史、特殊的地緣關係與區域特性，在兩岸發展的進程中扮演關鍵的試驗地位。作為研究兩岸的特殊場域，本論文將以金門重要的地方特產－－金門高粱酒為例，體現商品中兩岸的地緣與文化關係，並突顯金門作為前哨意義的彈性變化。本論文的研究方法取徑物質性與文本再現分析，試圖透過在地原物料、白酒酒香、商品符號價值與文化論述文本，說明金酒商品跨域兩岸市場後的現象。本論文發現，金門高粱酒指涉的金門應有兩種層面解讀，除了代表冷戰時期的「戰地金門」，也是穿梭兩岸的「臺灣金門」。國家前哨雙重的身分建構不僅幫助兩岸經貿與文化的整合，也彌補兩岸政治歷史的情感裂痕；然而，當跨越邊界造成假酒與商品治理問題，金酒的國家符碼便成為突顯兩岸差異、作為區隔我者與他者的保護手段。對此，金門作為國家前哨的概念，即是國家政治與資本拓張反覆協商後的彈性存在。

Kinmen has played a significant role in the development of cross-strait relations due to its complex political history and geo-spatiality. As a special field for cross-strait relations, this study uses Kinmen Kaoliang Liquor as an example to elaborate the flexible meanings Kinmen is endowed with in the context of the worldwide flow of goods and regionalization. A materiality and cultural discourse analysis approach will be adopted in this study, which aims to illustrate what social relations were changed, shaped or appropriated when Kinmen Kaoliang Liquor crossed the political and cultural boundary that is the Taiwan Strait. This will enable an examination of the range of meanings embodied by Kinmen with relation to Kaoliang liquor as a commodity, one being a rigid representative of a former battlefield, and the other a producer of a local cultural specialty. The construction of this dual identity helped to smoothly re-integrate the traditional Chinese spirits industry and the capital market, however, it can also act as a form of protection, in differentiating between “us” and “others” in terms of commodity governance. Therefore, the concept of ‘nation’ or ‘frontier’ is based on the constant negotiation between national role and capital expansion.
