This thesis posits that the scout camp can fruitfully be studied as a technological environment, more specifically as an infrastructure of the simple life. Mainly based upon periodicals, handbooks, still and moving pictures (from the Swedish boy scouts 1910–1930, but with international outlooks) it draws upon the Foucauldian notion of the apparatus (dispositif) as well as theory on modern infrastructure. Particular attention is payed to the role of work, leisure and community building at and around the camp site.       The simplification of the camp site – socially as well as technologically – was strategic in the sense that it enabled other goals and functions on a larger, societal level. To some extent it can also be seen as a critique of a growing complexity in modern life. A shared infrastructural sensibility finally grew out of the camp life, connecting scouts on a scale that stretched from the individual to the world.

近年來，各國政府積極推動文化創意產業，藉以帶動其他產業促進整體經濟發展，提升生活環境；其中節慶不僅能為地方或城市提供正向發展，亦屬於一文化創意展演平台，使文化商品得以於消費者面前曝光。 本研究主張，守門機制對於節慶與文化創意產業具有重要影響，檢閱相關文獻後，本研究以「2014年簡單生活節」為個案，運用「守門機制理論」作為個案分析的研究架構。本研究之研究問題為「2014年簡單生活節如何發揮守門機制功能」，為回答研究問題，本研究採用個案研究法，藉由參與式觀察與深入訪談，瞭解簡單生活節團隊如何執行其守門機制角色，並探討其守門成果對於節慶本身與文創產業的影響，得以彌補守門機制以及節慶創新理論上的文獻缺口。 本研究發現在2014年簡單生活節的守門過程中，簡單生活節團隊在劃定邊界的過程除了會受到守門專業能耐影響外，亦被牽制於可篩選的內容，導致其守門過程是一反覆修正的過程。此外，除了文獻中提及的四種守門能耐外，本研究更發現在2014年簡單生活節中最重要的守門能耐為「策展能力」，策展能力讓簡單生活節團隊能協助品牌於節慶中呈現出更適切且驚喜的內容，並提升品牌能見度。最後，本研究建議，未來節慶策展團隊都應將「守門機制」之思維納入其策展規劃，並且重視策展能力的運用，藉此能了解自身的守門類型，提升節慶的策展內容，進而協助節慶本身與產業持續創新。 / The purpose of the study is to investigate the importance of gatekeeping process in cultural festivals and the cultural and creative industries. This study uses the gatekeeping theory which is commonly discussed in the area of communications in order to understand how the festival carries out gatekeeping function in its curation by using an example of the “2014 Urban Simple Life Festival”. The research question of the study is “how the 2014 Urban Simple Life Festival uses gatekeeping in the curation?”. The study adopts case study and uses participant observations and in-depth interviews as the research tools to investigate how the gatekeeping is used in the 2014 Urban Simple Life Festival curation. In addition, this research aims to explore how the gatekeeping outcomes influence festivals themselves and the innovations of the cultural and creative industries. This research finds out that the festival organizer’s gatekeeping abilities and the gatekeeping contents do affect the gatekeeping boundary. Furthermore, the gatekeeping process is a repeated correcting process. Apart from the four gatekeeping abilities in the existed literature, the study also discovers that the most important gatekeeping ability in festivals is the “curatorial ability”. With the curatorial ability, the festival organizer would be able to help and assist the participants to present their best work in the Festival as well as to enhance their brand visibility to the market. This study suggests that the festival organizer should take the “curatorial ability” into consideration during the curation process to enhance the innovation ability of the cultural and creative industries
