碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 美術學系在職進修碩士班 === 102 === In the artistic cultural development, although Han culture is the mainstream art, non-mainstream aboriginal art comparatively presents more profound cultural meanings. As diverse cultures sprang up in the postmodern society which hence went through successive historical deconstruction and reconstruction, history had been rewritten with collective memory. Being governed by diverse cultures in a century results in the continual loss of their traditional rituals and customs. Nonetheless, aborigines’ movement in 1980’s is the beginning of their self-awareness. Undergoing stigmatization and striving for rights and cultural recognition, aborigines started literary writing and artistic creations that facilitated the establishment of real aboriginal cultural appearance. Art is a way to contain and pass down traditional tribal cultures. Searching for their lost tribal cultures, aborigines stored collective tribal memory up through artistic creations. Derived from their recognition, their art presents aboriginal characteristics and demonstrates the strengths and esthetics as well as their simple and sincere emotions. This thesis is focused on the study of artistic themes and cultural meanings of contemporary aboriginal arts in Taitung. The author starts with examining the status quo of aboriginal artistic development in Taitung from the aspects of aboriginal people, cultural policies, and art. Three artists, Haku, Hsi Chu Su Fei, and shi yingyuan, are selected as examples to represent the development of art, which are respectively tribal art, modern art, and contemporary art. The artistic themes and cultural meanings are studied to express the progress of ingenious art. At last, the thesis analyzes cultural development and artistic practice to figure out how aborigines pass down and innovate cultures after inner self disintegrates and reconstructs collective cultural memory, and ends with the analysis of the transformation of Taitung aborigines’ artistic images and characteristics.
