創建新「嘉」園──從稅務出張所保存運動談起

Abstract

本篇深度採訪報導以人文地理學研究視角出發,藉由實地蹲點採訪的方式,探討嘉義市稅務出張所運動及其後嘉義市文化圈的橫跨十五年的樣態。 報導發現,嘉義的文化圈已從最初走上街頭捍衛文化資產的抗爭,轉而走向個體創業,甚至是政府與民間集體合作。從 2000 年至 2015 年,嘉義出現為數可觀的文化創業者,他們組織活動、開店創業,或是興辦刊物,連帶影響政府在文化政策上的作為。 此外,報導也追蹤了採訪個案一年前後的發展,有些創業的個人或團體在商業化浪潮下受到挑戰,或黯淡歇業,或另覓新路。嘉義文化圈的形貌由參與其中的文化人們共同建構,在他們的實踐與嚮往中,迎來一個新的「嘉」園。
