Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 人文社會學系族群與文化碩士班 === 106 === In 1970s, Museology concerns subjectivity and agency of place community in the rising of new museology and glocalization. Also, there are many building units for saving collective memories or ethnicities in the context of communitarianism in Taiwan. Instead of formalism, the museum is considered to be the expectation of social communication that is to construct the notion of new museology and the meaning of ecomuseum. Furthermore, the museum’s location is assigned to bring into play the functions of education, entertainment and memory hold. In the perspective of museum’s engagement, the case study focuses on the comparison between Pingtung’s Hakka Museum (Taiwan) and Char Yong (Dabu) Association (Singapore). The two organizations both play their respective roles of ethnic museum in ethnic Chinese societies of Taiwan and Singapore, and impact the development and innovation of ethnic culture within their place community. By ethnographic method, the case study is to observe their respective people, communities and museums in the interaction of Pingtung’s Hakka Museum (Taiwan) and Char Yong (Dabu) Association (Singapore), and to represent the ethnic meanings that embody “place” possibility by their performances and local knowledge. To conclude, the case study takes the view of ecomuseum to discuss the roles, functions and positions of ethnic museum that affect the ethnic identity in contemporary era.
