Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 體育研究所 === 89 === This study was to investigate the physical culture of street dance in Taiwan. In order to disclose the true exist of the culture, and understand the street dance world deeply there were three steps adopted: first of all, to explore the variation of street dance environment through the concept of popular culture; secondly, to describe the external structure of street dance by the model of Chinese Kunfu novels; and finally, to focus on the dancing body itself which was the matrix construction of the street dance culture, to clarify the specific culture style that people might ignore, and reveal the essential characteristics of this alternative culture through the observation of body-taming process and the interpretation of participants’ narration. This study concluded that under the multiple and variable popular culture world, the participants of street dance were actually living in a simple、 direct and pure mode of life. In the process of cultural development, the dancing body played a far more important role than those of written and spoken language presented by mental reason. Thus the street dance world appeared as a va-rious、di-fferent and de-centered culture.
