This paper takes the research orientation by the Taipei Park space transformation, attempts to explore each dominant time, how the authority relates to penetrate the landscape to unfold the symbol of specific consciousness, reaches the political purpose. In short, the city park as the political center, how concurrently modernity and publicness, to anchor the politics disposition of metropolis. The historic course represent the Taipei politics history and the metropolis centricity profoundly: It starts from the feudal society of China edge, and let it into political domain of colonial extension suddenly in Asia. The connection, Nationalism after postwar is hasty forming and is ready and waiting. To the end of 1980s, the dawn of political democratization revealed the politics cataclysm in historical hidden for a long time, and it uses democratic system to retrieve the passing historical assignment. The series of political ideological shapes are mounted the profound political landscape by the space, it is on the public space in metropolitan city stably, the competition, just likes a political performance urges people to weave into ideology in the textile fiber unconsciously, and is unable clearly to analyze the causes and effects.
The traces of power left behind, like a rewritten parchment, Taipei Park development as politics memorial monuments, the symbol passing loses the matter and the historical inheritance: Tin-Hau temple which likes symbolic feudal dynasty, under the colonial spatial consciousness makes the exhibition rule achievement the transparent display case. It lets the museum as cultural techniques to portray Taiwanese aborigines as the other in the colonial period deliberately. After rebuilding national state takes the body discipline from militarism as a beginning, it creats a illusion of nostalgia that seizes the tradition of the nation. To 1930’s end, the modernized fortress of information circulation during wartime reforms to become a mental station to resist communism in postwar, but the sharp-edged 228 Incident actually let it displays the political tricks, eradicates the boundary, molds its essential status. The turning point of political democratization illuminates the historical corner which avoids mentioning originally. When the monument and the memorial hall are completed, they play a role to suture historical cut. And they provide residents a clearly historical lesson to achieve the introspection effect. However, the authority competes for the political ethnocentrism, caused it to degenerate into the transaction chips several times. According to the above, this article attempts to prove that the Taipei Park is the authority public field truly, and symbolizes passing and future historical trend.
