Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 台灣文學與創意應用研究所 === 107 === Taiwan is a multi-ethnic society, in which different cultures show different styles and bring diverse vitalities. Since 1970s, Man from working class who cannot marry in Taiwan because of the economic growth and educational improvement turn to Southeast Asia and China to get their “brides”. Many video and image workers began to focus on the voices of the new immigrants by making many documentary films, television films, which took the new immigrants as the subject of their works, and showed their life’s journey. Nevertheless, the dietary habit is the last tradition that immigrants would give up. New immigrants maintain their cultural identity by home cooking. The study try to explain some issues such as: (a) how the phenomenon represents in the movies, (b) the power relationship between Taiwan and new immigrants foodways, (c) if the director try to respond to the official ideology of cross-ethnic identity and if those are practicable. Hope people could not only find out that the culture of the new immigrants usually has been given different symbolization through representation on television films but also have a better understanding of the new immigrants who have become important members of Taiwan.
