臺北市西門紅樓創意街區的真實性修補及其治理

Authenticity Fix and its Governance of the Ximen Red House Neighbourhood, Taipei City

本文基於空間修補、創意修補，和文創導向都市再生的政治經濟之相關論述，提出真實性修補的概念架構。藉此用以檢視臺北市西門紅樓創意街區，如何透過文化創意相關政治、都市再生之議程，實踐對西門紅樓空間、文化和社群之真實性的修補及其治理。其不僅用以修補臺北市因產業重構所帶來的街區衰頹等客觀問題，提升都市的企業主義競爭或資本累積效率，使其重回資本累積的循環中；同時也為西門紅樓清除過去窳陋犯罪印象的主觀問題，建構真實的文化創意展演和消費的特殊場域。本文最後也針對西門紅樓的邁向企業主義之文創社群培育、其真實性的規訓及治理，文化創意之真實再現及展演，文化創意街區之真實性建構及次文化收編等面向，提出討檢討與反思。 In this paper, we develop the concept of authenticity-fix inspired by the theory of spatial fix and creativity fix, as well as the discourse related to culture and creativity-led urban regeneration. Based on this concept, we use the case of the Ximen Red House in Taipei City to explore how the Taipei City Government employs culture and creativity in urban regeneration schemes to govern the Ximen Red House's new authentic place and related culture, and communities. Specifically, this study looks at how authenticity is reconstructed and utilized to fix the Ximen Red House's 'objective' problems of industrial transformation and gritty neighborhood to improve its competitive advantage and efficiency of capital accumulation; and also fix its 'subjective' problems of criminal and unpleasant reputation to represent an authentic place for new cultural and creative performance, and consumption. Finally, we provide an empirical and critical discussion that focuses on the Ximen Red House's entrepreneurialism-led incubation of cultural and creative communities; its governance of authentic place and culture; performance of authentic culture and creativity; the socio-political construction of cultural and creative quarter, and co-opting subculture into the authenticity-fix agenda.
