These disaster literatures not only reveal the truth about humanity, also replenish the insufficiency of video. This research focused on those disaster literatures that referred to severe natural disasters that would kill people and even destroyed the community such as 921 earthquakes or 88 floods. This study would discuss what strategy people took and what relationship they kept when the individual, community and the media encounter life-threatening catastrophes and instant survival crisis. Chapter one is the introduction that included the definition of disaster literatures, the reasons why those literature works chosen to analysis and the reasons about struture from chapter two to four. As for the content, it consists of three chapters for discussion. Chapter two compared two literature works about 921 earthquate: “Drifting Lake “by Hsu Jung-Che and “Voice for the Tribe” by Wallis Nokan. Hsu Jung-Che, as a Han Chinese writer, considered the 921 earthquate was not only a natural disaster but also a thrilling experiencef for the aboginal people’s bodies and soul. Moreover, it lead to the subversion and reconstrction of two aboriginal families’s life and exist value. Wallis’s reportage described how 921 earthquate vibrated one aboriginal family that lead to their deeply grieved experience for losing their lands and homes. Furthermore, it caused the reconstrction and rebirth of life and exist value of the aboriginal tribe, a large number of aboriginal families. Hsu, as a Han Chinese writer, preferred to describe the individual idietification after disaster and the reconstruction of family relationship. Wallis, as an aboriginal writer, put an emphasis on the tribe’s welfare. However, both of them declared the natural disaster aroused the tribe’s permanently underlying feeling of unsafety and sense of crisis. Chapter three took the book “ Oral history of 88 Flood” by Chen Yi-Shen as an example to analyze after the irresistable natural disaster the oboriginal people how to cope with the individual’s problems and tribe’s dilemma, and communicate with the central government. It revealed the inefficient government’s policy on reconstruction of the tribe, and showed the voice strategies taken by the author and NGOs. With the records from oral history, reportage and media, we could witness the process how local people voiced for themselves and reconstructed their homelands when government regulationsand national policies could not function to protect them. This study also added in Chen Jim-Shun’s novels and other media’s report about 88 flood as the evidence material, for the insufficiently related creative writing about 88 flood. Chapter four discussed after the catastrophe the media got involved with the reconstruction of the tribe in the mountains, and the action leaded to derive the issue about the conscience in media. At last, the individual reflected the meaning of happiness through media. This chapter disscussed the media chaos affected by postmodern thoughts. Its main structure is a fictional story.And the author also criticize and reflect the the action through the evidence material such as related true news report. The author’s purpose of writing is also kind of similar to the author’s in chapter two: They reminded the readers to reflect on the ways of mass media controlling the news pictures on TV, to cherish the happy moments in life, and to inspect the controversial ways of disaster news reporting. In a nutshell, the conclusion of this study included four topics as belowed: the story of the individual as an aboriginal people struggling to survive in natural disasters, the process of the tribe of oboriginal people coping with the reconstrction after the naturaldisasters, the influence of media on reconstruction after the naturaldisasters, and the differences of writing betwween the Han Chinese writer and aboriginal people writer. This study found that the common places in natural-disaster writing in Taiwan are as belowed: these works basically through the writing techniques such as black humors, sarcasm and contrast to present the instant choices panic people made and to analyze the exist value of individual, community, and the media while facing the catastrophe. Even though the works honestly revealed that the homeland was broken, the relationship between people and nature was opposite, and the reaction of media is extremely shortsighted and absurd, the authors stiil really hope to recall the readers facing the disaster issue with positive and active attitude. Key words: disaster literature, aboriginal people, 921 strong earthquate, 88 flood, individual, community, media
