碩士 / 國立臺灣藝術大學 / 藝術管理與文化政策研究所 / 102 / Rethinking the expansion of Neoliberalism influence in the local place, the new trend of cultural strategy applied into urban and regional redevelopment is to put cultural institution and art installment in degenerate area to stimulate capitals accumulation for shaping city landscape. The study aims to explore the urban planning and social mobilization in Tainan city; thus, the research traces the paths of local actions—art made street and community building in Tainan Hai-An Road and Shen-Nong Street by going to the neighborhoods to investigate power and capitals configuration, disposition, and mobility in order to observe Taiwan grassroots’ urban spectacle construction.
The research built a urban spectacle model based on the dual viewpoints from the top-down strategic invasion and the bottom-up tactical resistance. To solve the questions about how governors and actors produced or countered spectacle, how power and capitals assimilated and excluded local culture, how they critically engaged, and how communities reacted. All for seeking an outlet for breaking the spectacle-embedded everyday life under the dominance of political governance and economic development.
According to the case studies of art made street in Hai-An Road and community building in Shen-Nong Street, there’s new operation in reconstructing urban spectacle. In the thesis, due to the failed city policy which undermined the hard core of Old City Center, it engendered local actions with participation and intervention of civil groups. The public sector empowered people so that the civil society could take the positions as cultural “surrogates”, and the city government receded and acted as a manager, supervisor and investor.
The result shows that after the 1999s, the action of civil society has turned its interest from sense of community cohesion to spectacle development, and everyday life has been askng to act reflectively. This is a transformation of community governance, civil society assembles the cultural elements of everyday life by remaking the spirit of Neolberalism to divert the poltical economy consfiguration. And there’s an outlet for everyday life is to escape the dominace of governors by depending on the actions of civil society.
