Abstract
This paper, with the historical transformation of the state and society approach, examines the Taiwan military dependent’s villages’ (MDVs) culture preservation and its corresponding governmental policy in the year of 2006 and 2007. First, it analyzes the concept of MDVs’ culture preservation and its historical origin. Next, it discusses the MDVs’ culture preservation related state departments’ historical development, including The Ministry of National Defense’s (MND) the MDV development policy, and independent operation The Council for Cultural Affairs (CCA) after1970. Finally, it returns to the discussion of the MDVs’ culture preservation in the years of 2006 and 2007, the analysis of the background and the growth of the MDVs’ culture preservation related social and cultural groupings, and the governmental policy including MND, CCA, and The Legislative Yuan, for dealing with lobby.n view of the MDVs’ history, the author applies the transformation of the state and society analysis method , the states and societies where states includes both the Republic of China and Japan, and societies included mainland China and Taiwan society. Taiwan MDVs is the end product of interweaves among the above four essential factors, and later develops its unique multicultural characteristic. The study of Taiwan MDVs’ cultural preservation entails the investigation in three parts: the cultural crisis facing the Taiwan MDVs’ residents, the consensus of the cultural issue among Taiwan society, as well as the rise of NGOs/NPOs within the state and society’s structure of interaction.ext, the author studies the interactions among national organizations including inter-ministerial working group “MDVs’ cultural preservation working group”, MND, CCA, and Cultural Affairs Bureau in local governments. Through this research, it is believed that the relationship between MND and CCA is negotiational, because those two departments have different the state and society relations and its own network. Thus, MND and CCA are dealing with Taiwan MDVs’ cultural in an entirely different manner. Nevertheless, the MDVs’ cultural preservation working group becomes a platform for coordination among different groups, and it also evolved as a stage for negotiation.oreover, by examining the development of the MDVs’ cultural preservation in 2006 and 2007, it is believed that the preservation work is expanded by NGOs/NPOs, MDVs’ cultural grouping, and community culture grouping where each of these three groups plays its own roles. Thus, it is not one single but several social groupings involving in this work, and result in multicultural development. Meanwhile, the state departments including MND, CCA are working with these three groups mentioned above in their own ways to respond to the social need of MDV’s cultural preservation. o sum up, it is concluded that: 1. The culture of MDVs in Taiwan has been transformed into a multicultural development that is influenced by the historical transformation of the state and society. 2. The preservation work of MDVs’ culture is being carrying out by various social groupings not just limited to the residents of MDVs. 3. It’s observed the idea of “culture preservation” emerged earlier than the idea of “the preservation of MDVs’ culture” in relation to the development of MDVs’ culture preservation. 4. The state is not an embodiment, because departments have different the state and society relations and its own network. 5. The policy of MDVs’ rebuilding resulted in double effects, including the vanishing of traditional MDVs’ cultural vessel, and the interaction among multi-ethnic groups. Therefore, to meet the trend of post-modern society, the author suggested that the development of MDVs’ cultural preservation requires the connection between CCA and NGOs/NPOs and the integration of different types of social groupings and the state departments.
