대만 민주화학생운동을 통해 본 민중가요

Abstract

In Taiwan, the Democratization Student Movement can be specified in three major divisions after the martial law was lifted in 1987. They are the ‘Lilies of the Field Movement(野百合学运)’ in March 1990, the ‘Wildberry Movement(野草莓学运)’ in November 2008, and ‘Sunflower Student Movement(太阳花学运)’ in March 2014. Whenever the student movement took place, the students sang together. Songs became the driving force of the student movement. In the Lilies of the Field movement, “Formosa(美丽岛)” was dubbed ‘People’s Song’ and was sung, and in the Wildberry movement, “the Sound of Wildberry(野莓之声)” was dubbed ‘People Song’ and was sung. In the Sunflower Student Movement, “Island’s Sunrise(岛屿天光)” was dubbed ‘People’s Song’ and was sung.<BR> Regarding the songs sung in the Lilies of the Field movement and the Wildberry movement, the emphasis was on strengthening mental ties rather than functional utility as a protest song, such as singing an existing song. In contrast, at the Sunflower Student Movement, songs began to appear in front of the movement, and unlike before, as songs began to take an active role in creation, they were widely accepted and popularized by the public. In this regard, this study intends to examine how the consciousness of creators and audiences has been revealed, transmitted, and transformed with regard to folk songs. This is an attempt to interpret the phenomenon of social movement from a cultural perspective, and it will contribute to understanding Taiwan’s democratization movement and popular music history.
