碩士 === 國立臺南藝術大學 === 民族音樂學研究所 === 106 === Located at the tri-junction of Wutai, Sandimen and Majia Township, Timur is an important traffic entrance of these three township, there are more craft shops in Timur than the other villages, because the Taiwanese public sector is attempting to promote tourism industry in Timur. However, the current studies of Timur usually focus on the aspect of tourism, neglecting that there are many young people in Timur who are practicing cultural reproduction and cultural revival. As a student who lives far away from my hometown for long periods of time, thanks to churches, I knew many youths with similar background like mine after I moved back to Timur in 2010. Those youths are participating in public affairs and establishing self-identity positively. Furthermore, in 2014, the young people recognized that their traditional culture was being lost, decided to organize the “Youth In Timur” (YIT) to record the memories and customs that had once been common knowledge among the indigenous residents. This research uses an applied ethnomusicology approach whereby I take on the role of advocator to execute the concert named “At My Home, I Will Gently Sing for You” (Pinayuanan: I mazaken semenasenai kipaqenet tanumun). I will discuss how it helps to develop local identity and intimacy of YITmembers and how it arise the concern of public sector at same time. To take myself as an example, in addition, I will also explain the dilemma as the homecoming youth and vusam (primogeniture), and the process of musicking in YIT. Finally, I will represent how the YIT members’ musicking recreates new cultural meaning for Timur with reflexive ethnography.
