| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立東華大學 === 民族藝術研究所 === 98 === Most articles on Amis clothing in the literature focus on descriptions of style and form. Few have conducted in-depth research into the impact of contemporary cultural mores or of different time periods on Amis clothing. Analyses of articles and historical photographs demonstrate that variations in clothing within a particular tribe are attributable to climatic, geographic and other differences faced by subgroups as well as cultural borrowing from neighboring ethic groups.
This study explores changes over time and inherent aesthetics in clothing made and worn by the indigenous Amis of Guangrong (Rinahem) Village in Hualien County, Taiwan in order to provide insights into the transfer and conservation across generations of clothing culture and traditions. Researchers first visited Rinahem to collect information on village clothing. Findings in the literature and from interviews were then employed to analyze collected information in order to offer deductive insights into the clothing styles and materials and distinct aesthetics of Rinahem Village. Finally, this study employed interpretive analysis to gain a much deeper appreciation of the drivers of creativity in using fibers, which formed the fundamental creative elements that fostered an array of Amis concepts and ideas.
