Hou Hsiao-Hsien has been one of the central members of Taiwan New Cinema (TNC) since the early 1980s and subsequently took on the rising trajectory of becoming an internationally famous film master. In contrast, during the same period, the Taiwan film industry diminished dramatically and nearly collapsed. Based on Pierre Bourdieu's theory of cultural production and the thesis of political economy of communication, this article regards Hou as a social agent and accordingly analyzes the dynamic interactions between him and the structural factors related to the broader transformations of Taiwan film industry. Hou seemed to choose his filming and production mode subjectively from the beginning, but actually the possibilities he got at the time were limited by the social structures. In addition, his rising trajectory also has been embedded in the dynamic processes of global cultural economy. Paradoxically, by the same local and global processes, Taiwan film industry has been seriously declining.

Taking one of the most representative subgenres of lifestyle TV, the cooking show, as a case study, in this article, we examine the history and changing cultural meanings of this televisual genre in the context of Taiwan\'s postwar social history and TV industry. We conduct textual analyses of Taiwanese cooking shows across three different historical stages: Fu Pei Mei\'s shows (the 1960s-1980s), Chen Hong\'s shows (the 1990s), and Metrosexual Uber-Chef with Master Ah-Ji (the 2000s), in order to advance a critical exploration of the complex relationships between these popular media texts and their social and industrial contexts. We argue that, in line with the ongoing transformations in Taiwan\'s society and television industry over the postwar era, the cooking show essentially shifted from educational-cultural to entertainment programming. However, at the same time, the pedagogical function of teaching both cooking skills and life ethics was maintained throughout the different stages, albeit represented very differently in each of the three periods, corresponding with the social and industrial contexts pertaining in each.

近年我國開始發展少數族群媒體，其中客家電視台首先於2003年開播，成為全球第一個客家專屬電視頻道，對客家社群具有重大意義。然而從政策制訂、法源、體制、運作，乃至人事、節目內容與社會影響，客家電視台都存在許多盤根錯節、有待釐清的問題。本研究從傳播權的角度切入，透過重新探討少數族群傳播權益的相關理論，以及客家族群的特殊處境與需求，對國內客家族群傳播權與媒體政策的實務面向提出檢討和建議，俾能有助於創造理想的客家族群媒體與環境。
