With political liberation and market expansion, literary works and performances in Taiwanese have been booming since the ‘90s, marking a most distinguished arena of Taiwan's pop culture. Lots of them borrow traditional materials and unavoidably pass on outdated ideologies, while others assert democratization and naturalization, sounding spirits of the era. Based on Marxists' theories of ideology, this article traces traditional mentalities that reincarnate themselves in Taiwan's pop culture and how democratization and naturalization, originally belonging to the political discourse, stimulate contemporary cultural products. Tradition functions at this stage as a major inspiration for Taiwan's pop culture; nevertheless, it contains inappropriate elements and should be used cautiously. On the other hand, democratization brings forth diversities in pop culture, which also contributes to its de-construct aura and manifests political developments and cultural movements interact indeed with one another. |
