Observing the Community Mobilization from the Small Oyster Rock / 從蚵寮漁村小搖滾看社區如何動起來

碩士 / 國立中正大學 / 傳播學系電訊傳播研究所 / 104 / Taking Kaohsiung’s “Small Oyster Rock,” a music festival that is initiated and planned all by the community residents, as the subject, this study is aimed to know the dynamic processes of the event and to understand how the Small Oyster Rock could be supported by rock bands, loved by rock fans and combined with local characteristics.
In this study, the participant-observation method and interviews are used to understand the dynamic processes of involving the local residents, participating bands and out-town audience in the event from the inside to the outside. Furthermore, through the comparison with the official Mullet Festival and other Taiwan’s music festivals, this study explores how this non-local industry-related event triggers the participation and recognition of local residents, as well as what cultural significance it demonstrates.
This study found that multi-field actor Brother Tsai not only collects the funds from the owners in the local industry, but also mobilizes the volunteer groups from local schools. Since the curators are all local residents, the event is full of local characteristics in every aspect, including the visible imagery of fishing boat, the decision-making method of throwing divination blocks, and the stage performance by local students. The on-site manpower is mainly the school volunteer groups and their family. With a significantly broad spectrum of age and interest, the festival has a special atmosphere unlike any other music festivals, which is more open and suitable for local residents to participate.
The organization process of the Small Oyster Rock is consistent with the authenticity and do-it-yourself spirit of rock music. Moreover, the Small Oyster Rock is also a cultural interpretation mechanism between out-town bands and local residents. The two sides communicate with each other through the Small Oyster Rock and further influence and change one another mutually. On the one hand, it deepens the cultural significance of the event; on the other hand, it even provides as the nutrients for the creation and performance.
The Small Oyster Rock is an event developed from daily life, and it is still a part of community activities with no tourism purposes despite its grand scale. They do not treat the rock bands only the performers they pay and invite, but they also hope that these performers can use the opportunity to know and make friends with each other. Therefore, the event not only has a people-oriented nature but also the local characteristics that cannot be copied.
