碩士 === 國立清華大學 === 藝術與設計學系所 === 106 === The purpose of this thesis is to explore the Taiwaness. By creating the work “Self-confidence of Taiwanese : Koyoshi Itariko”, the thesis would express the cultural subjectivity of Taiwan. “Koyoshi Itariko” was named by selecting the characters “吉”& “至” from the traditional Chinese word “臺”, combining with gouache painting. “Self-confidence” stands for a phenomenon in Taiwanese culture. The work “Self-confidence of Taiwanese : “Koyoshi Itariko” transfers Taiwanese cultural phenomenon to a dialectic creation, including 4 collections, “Mimicry”, “Fake Brick”, “Gaze” and “Quartet”. “Mimicry” depicts the imitation and learning to foreign culture. The second collection “Fake Brick” criticizes the cultural plagiarism in Taiwan. “Gaze” and “Quartet” emphasize Taiwanese’s positive& negative discrimination to outsiders. The dialectic would be expanded through contemporary cultural discourse in the work “Self-confidence of Taiwanese : Koyoshi Itariko”. Generally speaking, this thesis focuses on capitalism in the context of globalization, discussing the interaction between Taiwanese social culture and the cultural imperialism with its consumption system. In this study, “Self-confidence of Taiwanese : Koyoshi Itariko” presents the diversity and hybridity of Taiwanese cultural subjectivity.
