碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 中國文學系 === 106 === The “Music” or “Singing” has a special position in Taiwan’s aboriginal culture. It is not only an indispensable element in the development of “Aboriginal literature” but also very important in the vast indigenous oral literature beyond written languages. Nowadays, Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize for Literature as a singer songwriter. It indicates that the steady state of the “songs” between popular literature and classic literature once again been challenged or eliminated, while it also points out that the points of view that popular culture, entertainment industrial, and common people’s life as well as Pop-music are feasible to be part of “literature”. To discuss the reason why “Taiwanese Aboriginal Pop-Music” became a type and how it worked, the thesis starts from the idea of two field, which is “oral literature” and "popular music”. In the year of 90s in Taiwan when the record companies were consolidated across different countries and the booming of the local awareness of the music and the multi-culturalism were as the key successful factors at that time. The axis of this study is the development that from the description of “Others”, the construction of “Identity” to the formation of “difference categories”. It demonstrated clearly in the development of western contemporary theories. It is not only a microcosm of the life course of an individual, but also closely corresponds to the ethnic experience of the indigenous people in Taiwan over the past centuries. First,this dissertation research the social in natures of the periods reflected by aboriginal "oral folk songs” and the “Collectivity” of oral culture among them with the difference levels of identity experience. Then, I explored the key properties that arose when the oral folk songs entering the interface of pop-music. Second, to depict the formation of aboriginal pop-music, I discussed the music environment in Taiwan’s 90s according to three aspects of views, which are industry, creative production and cultural. At last, I analyzed the actual cases of the aboriginal pop-music by the theoretical perspective of “Pop-Music” research, which contains the discussions of its core values and boundary. It also been compared with the cases of other "oral" ethnic music globally, that formed the genre of music and influences mainstream pop music. In these wide range of topics and the research in the light of “Historical Narratology”, I tried to contoured a possible way to research the indigenous music or other music types and to express personal music experience. It depends on the aboriginal pop music, as a music type, has its own “Differential Autonomy” in its context, corresponding to the “Collectivity” of oral literature and the “Aboriginality” from “Others”.
