Abstract:	本論文探討在日本軍中服役的臺籍士兵的歷史經驗，聚焦於臺灣戰犯錢茂松的案例，並以其自傳我啊！一個台灣人日本兵簡茂松的一生為研究對象。從他的故事可以看到臺灣人在第二次世界大戰期間如何被徵召入日本帝國軍隊，以及他戰後的經歷及身份變化。本論文運用米蘭達·弗里克（Miranda Fricker）的認知不公理論，特別是詮釋不正義，來剖析殖民體系如何邊緣化並忽視臺籍士兵的身份。本論文進一步討論了日本帝國實行的同化政策（如皇民化運動）如何形塑這些士兵的自我認同。此外，還探究了戰後軍事法庭和日本政府對戰犯處理方式如何加深他們的不可弔唁性──此概念出自朱蒂絲·巴特勒（Judith Butler）。此案例研究旨在闡明臺籍日本兵在戰爭期間及戰後的動員、排除及被遺忘的歷史，並反思臺灣的歷史記憶與和解進程。 ;This thesis explores the historical experiences of Taiwanese soldiers who served in the Japanese army. It focuses on the case of Chien Mao-Sung, a Taiwanese war criminal, through his autobiography I, as a Japanese Soldier: Taiwanese Chien Mao-Sung’s “Homeland.” His story reveals how Taiwanese people were recruited into the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II. It also examines his post-war experiences and changes in identity. The thesis applies Miranda Fricker’s theory of epistemic injustice, particularly hermeneutical injustice, to analyze how colonial systems marginalized and ignored the identities of Taiwanese soldiers. It further discusses how Japan’s assimilation policies, such as the Kōminka movement, shaped these soldiers’ self-identity. Additionally, it explores how post-war military tribunals and Japan’s handling of their war crimes deepened their ungrievability, a concept introduced by Judith Butler. This case study sheds light on how Taiwanese Japanese soldiers were mobilized, excluded, and forgotten in different political contexts during and after the war. It also reflects on Taiwan’s historical memory and the reconciliation process. Keywords: Taiwanese Japanese soldiers, epistemic injustice, hermeneutical injustice, colonial systems, Kōminka movement, ungrievability.
