碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 台灣文化及語言文學研究所 === 100 === Since 1993 to this year, Golden Bough Theatre has been 18 years. Early Golden Bough Theatre was an experimental and innovative theater, but now the unique "Taiwan opera" and the particular environmental theater have been their major types of performances and theater techniques. And they are even known as Taiwan's " The First Theatre of Tai-Ke(台客)". The Golden Bough Theatre’s dramas always have very enthusiastic responses are close to the public life. They share the "grassroots", "Land" Image with the spectators. On their Web site, in the drama program, the content of their dramas, and drama actor’s clothing and make-up, they are labeled as the nature of popular culture, and wishing all the aspects of drama buckle with the viewer's memories. In this paper, I want to master through the fantasy theme analysis method that Ernest G. Bormann had proposed in 1972. To watch the repertoire the Golden Bough performed how to awake people to the common memories of the past, and create the fantasy atmosphere of both traditional and modern. The questions are followed： First, what does the Golden Bough construct the fantasy theme, the fantasy types and the rhetorical vision? Second, how the spectators and the media respond to the fantasy theme, type and rhetorical vision that the Golden Bough construct? Third, how the media and the Internet community chain out with the fantasy theme, type and rhetorical vision? According to the research, the Golden Bough and the viewers of the fantasy theme, fantasy types and rhetorical vision are followed. The Golden Bough has a “neighborhood marketplace and the daily life”, run through the“ illusion and reality”, and experience the “here-and-now”. In the Golden Bough Theatre dramas, the character theme shows that, the Tai-Ke(台客) with the rectification of name and the new interpretation, and the hero with the cultural archetype and apotheosis. In the action theme, they shows the various emotions among the common people, and has the past-and-future throughout the time and space, and presents an atmosphere of nostalgic memories. And the old-and-new blending and the “Taiwan opera” collage are the rationalizing mechanism. Then we can extract the collective "memory" "image" cohesion, and the performance of popular culture in Taiwan, and the ultimate unit of fantasy theme analysis： " the Taiwanese identity of drama - All We Are Taiwanese " The rhetorical vision.
