臺灣都市與區域發展之文化策略批判研究回顧，1990s－2010s

Abstract

本文回顧臺灣學界針對都市與區域發展之文化策略的批判性研究成果，嘗試掌握臺灣學界知識生產的特質。首先，作者彙整對於文化發展策略的主要批判，涵蓋地方營造、歷史保存、展演節慶及創意城市等主題，提出國家宰制、階級支配、資本逐利、文化失落和環境危機等批評，以及對於文化抵抗的期許。接著，作者評述本地學界據以掌握發展之文化策略的框架性概念：文化生活圈、文化規劃、創意群聚與創意城市，以及文化治理等，並連結上三個立場不同但互有交流、以學術機構為核心的知識網絡，探討其理論連結和實踐關切。最後，作者提議以分析和重建文化生活支持網絡，作為新的研究與實踐議程。

This article revisits the critical research on cultural strategies associated with urban and regional development in Taiwan's academia. The author first summarizes criticism centering on cultural strategies paralleling the development of Taiwan: critics have discussed the effects of community buildings, historic preservation, performative festivals, creative cities and so on to propose that they actually embody state control, class ruling, the liability of capital to pursue greater profit, cultures that gradually lose their glamour, and the environmental crisis. Against these problems, critics have also envisioned cultural resistance. The author then shows the framing ideas local scholars have adopted so far to explore these cultural strategies of development. These include the living sphere of culture, cultural planning, creative clusters, creative cities and cultural governance, ideas that are connected to a network of knowledge constituted by three academic institutions which hold different positions yet have mutual exchanges. After discussing their respective theoretical connection and concerns regarding practices, the author concludes that an analysis as well as a reconstruction of the support network for cultural life should be pivotal, and should therefore be considered as the next agenda of research and practices.
