| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 新聞研究所 === 104 === It is the 40th anniversary of modern Taiwan folk music in 2015. The memorial is reminiscent of the past, but on the other hand, controversy as well. The folk music in 1970s was considered to be far away from the land and people, and lack of protests under the spirit of localization. This report is trying to critically show different aspects of modern Taiwan folk music based on the personal experiences of people at that age without the influence of existing label, such as “anemic folk song” or “castrated folk song”.
First of all, this report shows the current status of folk singer and the atmosphere of folk music in Taiwan right now, leading to the necessity of reflecting on the past. Then in chapter 2 and 3, the author is trying to recover the people, the time and the society of “sing our songs” in 1970s with the stories of folk singers at that time. In later chapter 4 to 6, the author tries to be more critical, showing the main reasons of the controversy at that age. In chapter 7, the author is back to music, discussing the possibilities of realistic aesthetics. The last chapter is about the relationship between music and the timing, trying to provide more perspectives for readers to think about the folk music of Taiwan.
