Recent years, Aboriginal cultural and creative industry is one of the major industries nowadays in Taiwan. It is a key industry for Taiwan to pursue industrial structure adjustment and economic transition. The policies of fostering cultural and creative industry by our government today is no longer like what we did in the past, when only the cultural subjects were dealt in the cultural industry. Today, in addition to extending the industry scope, our government promoted the transformation and value addition of cultural industries by implementing relevant administrative strategies, directly transforming the cultural elements into industrial sectors. Thus, culture and creativity could be combined while the cultural and creative industry is included into the country’s guidelines to foster industry development. This study purpose of our research is to explore the key antecedents along the transformation process. People can use the Internet to quickly accept the information, so the regional people's lifestyles increasingly similar. Various cultures of Taiwan are destroyed, because the economic development. Culture become a business and can continue to develop and present, because the development of "cultural and creative industries". Cultural and creative industries are characterized by a "spiritual". Countries around the world began to develop cultural and creative industries, because it represents a country's symbol. Cultural and creative products are one of the cultural and creative industries. This study aims to investigate how to design cultural and creative products. Reference the cultural and creative product design process and Osborne checklists to establish the aborigines cultural and creative product design methods. This study designs the cultural and creative product of the aborigine’s cultural and creative product design methods.

The style of product design of a country and a nationality is influenced by the essential of traditional cultures and lifestyles. It is interested to explore whether or not that the Taiwanese aboriginal culture, playing increasingly important role to the land and adopting to be the basic reference for contemporary product design. The approach undertaken in this study includes four phases. First, a questionnaire survey is conducted in order to identify the consumers’ attitude, opinions, and expectation to the products with aboriginal culture aspect. Followed with the result, design principles will be suggested for design practicing. Second, the framework for product development is formed by the culture data analysis and design ideation table, resulting from literature review and experts opinions. Third phase, we conclude the results based on the literature review, questionnaire and the design practice, by which a design process for cultural product is established. At final phase, a consumers’ evaluation to the design is undertaken in order to prove the effect of the design practice and process. In general, the results of this study can be summarized as: (1) The Taiwanese aborigines’ unique culture is worthy, through design to apply to the product which existing in our daily life. However, most of Taiwanese aboriginal product, nowadays are crafts in the market. Therefore, it still have a space to be improved. (2) the work clarifying cultural characteristics and transforming the context between the culture and product design can benefit to design concept development. (3) The design process proposed can help to guide the design transform and culture message delivering properly. (4) Through this concept model of design process to develop the products, it is clearly to show that the design assessment have more recognition from consumers.

Full textLong-term independent travel is regarded by many commentators as an active quest for discovery, and has long been proclaimed by individuals and organisations, both within and outside the tourism industry, as having a social, cultural and educative role. As independent travel becomes an increasingly popular and important sector of the travel market, the guidebook as cultural text becomes a significant and powerful mediator of experience. Guidebooks have a prevailing capacity to define and represent places, peoples and cultures and, at the same time, present descriptive and prescriptive information that simultaneously constructs the traveller and shapes their perspectives and experiences. Independent travellers such as backpackers, in their quest for the ‘authentic’, often seek out experiences with other cultures and demonstrate a desire to learn about, and interact with, indigenous people and their cultures. This thesis is concerned with the complex process of the dialectic construction of the backpacker (the traveller) as a particular gazing and experiencing subject, and of places, peoples and cultures (the travelled) as objects of the gaze. Central to the thesis is a consideration of the role of the guidebook as an interpretative lens through which the constructed and mediated nature of both the traveller and the travelled can be examined and understood. Drawing on theoretical and methodological insights from the interdisciplinary fields of tourism studies and cultural studies, the thesis seeks to understand relationships between text, audience and culture in tourism. The interpretative method of textual analysis is married with qualitative interviews with a sample of backpackers to Australia to examine the interplay between travellers, guidebooks and experiences. An analysis of guidebooks published by Lonely Planet, Rough Guide and Let's Go reveals that representations of Aboriginal people and their cultures are central to constructing an ‘authentic’ experience for independent travellers to Australia. These representations are, however, not without contradiction, as traveller discourses of authenticity, cultural awareness, cultural sensitivity and responsible travel are mobilised concurrently with popular tourism imagery and stereotypes of Aboriginal Australia. For the backpackers interviewed, the discrepancies between discourses provided in guidebooks means that their engagement with texts is dynamic, and their experiences with, and understandings of, Aboriginal Australia are continuously negotiated and renegotiated throughout their travel experiences. I argue in this thesis that backpackers actively engage with narratives and representations of culture contained within guidebooks, and negotiate these textual contradictions to construct a particular type of experience and traveller-self to make sense of their travels in Aboriginal Australia. The findings of this thesis raise important questions about the role that the text plays as mediator between the traveller and the travelled culture, and the tensions, contradictions and negotiations between text and lived experience.

Full textThis ethnography thus contributes to the anthropology of postcolonial forms, and specifically benevolent forms. The Darwin Institute of Indigenous Health Research is an example of a postcolonial space where there is an attempt to invert colonial power relations: that is, to acknowledge the effects of colonisation on Indigenous people and remedy them.
The thesis begins with an account of suburban life in contemporary Darwin focused on the figure of the ‘longgrasser’ who threatens to create disorder at my local shops. This is an example of the postcolonial frontier, the place where antiracist white people encounter radically-different Indigenous people. Part 1 develops a conceptual model for understanding the process of mutual recognition that creates the subjectivities of Indigenous people and of white antiracists.
Drawing on critiques of liberalism and postcolonial theory, in Part 2 I describe the knowledge system dominant in Indigenous health discourse, postcolonial logic. It is postcolonial logic that prescribes how white antiracists should assist Indigenous people by furthering Indigenous self-determination. I argue that postcolonial logic can be understood as the junction of remedialism (a form of liberalism) and orientalism. The melding of these two concepts produces remediable difference: a difference that can be brought into the norm.
In Part 3 I describe how white researchers at the Institute experience radical difference, or at least its possibility. These experiences challenge the concept of remediable difference. If Indigenous people are not remediably different, but radically different, the process of mutual recognition breaks down, and the viability of a white antiracist subjectivity is called into question. The ensuing breakdown of postcolonial logic threatens to expose white antiracists as no different from their assimilationist predecessors.
Part 4 explores the underlying dilemmas of the postcolony that are revealed when postcolonial logic unravels. The dilemma of historical continuity emerges when the discursive techniques that enact historical discontinuity between postcolonisers and their predecessors break down. The dilemma of social improvement is the possibility that the practices of the self-determination era not only resemble assimilation, but are assimilation. It is the possibility that any attempts to extend the benefits of modernity enjoyed by non-Indigenous Australia to Indigenous people will erode their cultural distinctiveness. The postcolonial condition is the experience of living with these aporias.
In the conclusion, I consider the implications of my argument for the current Australian political context, for the project of liberal multiculturalism, and for the broader problem of power and difference. I look to friendship as a deceptively simple, perhaps implausible, and yet powerful trope that can relieve the postcolonial condition and offer hope for peaceful coexistence in the postcolony.

Success in enterprise may support the achievement of a range of social, political and economic objectives for Indigenous peoples. The thesis offers a contribution to knowledge and literature on IED by bringing understanding to the meaning of success for Indigenous enterprise, identifying those factors that contribute to its success as well as presenting the barriers that prevent it. This study is the most recent rigorous scholarly work of IED on Indigenous land in the Northern Territory.

Culture is an internal body of an ethnic style and all the cultures – old or new, western or eastern – have their own features. Today, diverse culture has also become a new expression of life: Every place has its own story with abundant and extraordinary connotation, which created diverse cultural styles. The feelings towards the same memory created by different cultures also touch people’s heart and therefore created “Emotional Branding”. Plus connections through online communities also shortened distance between people and the space, people now pay more attention to spiritual abundance. The past capital branding concept has gradually wanted and “human-like branding” has now formed into shape. In other words, brands must be featured with emotional personality and living philosophy in order to attract the crowds, to deliver the stories, and then promote cultures of the land and have them connected with the world. Based on this reason, this study has collected cultural creative practice cases conducted by four ethnic groups – Minnan, Hakka, aborigines and plains aborigines – and investigated these cultural creative practitioners through in-depth interviews. Then the interview contents were analyzed through grounded theory in order to understand the processes and obstacles that they have been confronted on the road of building their cultural creative career, and to discuss the connection between culture and emotional brands as well as the derived influence towards cultural identity. Furthermore, a comparative research was conducted to find out the similarities and differences of brands created by different Taiwanese cultural emotions and then, through hybridity theory and phenomenography, to analyze their emotional elements and culture codes. Finally, elements of emotional brands shaped by Taiwanese cultures as well as inspirations of brands towards cultural identity were summarized from the perspectives of globalization to build a cultural creative practice pattern. Research results reveal that Taiwan has been affected by foreign colonial and local culture that, whether it emphasizes on one style or a personality mixed with various styles, its charm of diverse culture has given people the first impression of Taiwan. Besides, emotional brands also help to enhance the positioning and identity of brands; and the introduction of emotional marketing and cultural codes have formed a brand unity, which touches peoples heart and fortify local connections. Plus the applications of online communities, emotional brands featured with cultural elements have created more values of “beauty” and “affections”. That is, to arouse people’s understanding and recognition towards Taiwan, and to reach brands’ social responsibilities with “affections”.

How people change their travel pattern during weekends has become an important issue for tourism industry since the government implemented the "two-day weekend" policy in 1998. The main purpose of this study was to explore the influence of such two-day weekend policy on domestic travel patterns. Specifically, it was to examine the differences between two-day weekends and non-two-day weekends regarding the time allocation of tourists'' travel schedule, the distance of their trips, the number of scenic spots in each trip, and the expenditures. Furthermore, it was to investigate the relationship between the destination and the travel pattern. Finally, the association between socio-demographic characteristics of domestic tourists and their travel patterns was also investigated. Data were collected from the visitors in two amusement parks, Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village and Janfusun Fancyworld. The survey was conducted during four weekends from April 17th to May 9th, 1999. A total of 656 subjects whose institutions carry out two-day weekends were drawn and interviewed on site. There were several significant findings in this study. First of all, the influence of two-day weekends on domestic travel pattern is only significant for start-off time and return time. There are more visitors starting their trips on Friday or Saturday during the two-day weekend than during the non-two-day weekend. Moreover, people intend to return on Sunday, and this tendency is more significant during non-two-day weekends than two-day weekends. A further analysis revealed that tourists who take two-day trips are more likely to start on Saturday than on the other days. Secondly, it was found that people prefer one-day trips to multi-day trips during both types of weekends. However, there are more one-day trips on two-day weekends than on non-two-day weekends. It was also found that there is no significant difference between the two types of weekends in regard to the number of scenic spots visited in one trip, the travel companions, the distance of travel, and the expenditure. In terms of the destination difference, the visitors to Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village are more likely to start their trips on Saturday than the visitors to Janfusun Fancyworld. Finally it was found that visitors'' residence is associated with their travel patterns. Visitors who live farther from the destination are more likely to take multi-day multi-stop trips, start the trip on Saturday, and return on Sunday or Monday.

The aim of this thesis is to explore the socio-cultural meanings of aboriginal children’s creative writing. The research is based on the ethnographic data derived from the oral narratives, creative images and cultural writings of two aboriginal elementary students. It focuses on different forms of writing as ‘texts’ that are created by aboriginal children. The intention is to reflect upon Taiwanese aboriginal children’s daily life and the process of change in tribal societies. It also aims to record how these students learn and to focus on the research activity of a Han Taiwanese teacher. The project is aimed at increasing students’ literacy and their sense of subjectivity. In particular, this study intends to promote the possibility of aboriginal children’s literature through children’s own voices and points of view. I argue that most children’s literature tends to ignore children’s creativity and their ways of interpreting the world around them. The concept of children-as-writers is not very commonly found in children’s literature, even less so in the case of aboriginal children’s literature that is written by indigenous children themselves. This research attempts to bridge the gap by offering a series of examples of aboriginal school children’s writing. In each of these cases, writing does not just represent a vehicle for straightforward, practically automatic, voyages of self-discovery and cultural identity affirmation. It contributes to the construction of contemporary narratives of aboriginal subjectivity of who they are and what their traditional ethnic cultures are.
