I'm a Chinese Taiwanese who has lived most of my life in Taiwan and have worked closely with indigenous activists in Taiwan. I'm currently studying in Cambridge MA, USA. I see endeavors such as the Free Software Movement, Wikipedia, and indigenous activism alike, as these are all counter-hegemonic alternative community-building processes. I would like to explore the potential of such community-initiated efforts in establishing alternative models that can release us from dominant systems.
我是一个出生并成长在台湾的汉人,过去长期以来关心台湾原住民族运动,目前就读于美国麻州某校。我认为自由软体、维基百科和原住民族运动这些看似不同的议题事实上有一个共同的特性, 亦即他们都是一种反霸权的另类社群组织行动。我希望能够从这个角度来了解这些建立另类社群的努力如何能够让我们在目前主宰我们生活的各种系统之外,提供我们对于世界不同的想像。
