Abstract
The possibility to pursue justice and resistance, defined as the discourse of resistance in Taiwanese rock music, existed in Taiwanese rock music as a mainstream discourse. Interpreted from authenticity of western rock music, combined with rebelled ideology from political, economic and cultural context in Taiwan, this discourse exclaimed the actors are able to practice social movements and fight against suppression with rock music, in order to achieve the possibility of pursuing justice. Through this definition, this study aims to reveal the complexity and paradox in Taiwanese rock music discourse and phenomenon, and further, to break the mythology and supremacy of the discourse of resistance in Taiwanese rock music.
The uprising of Taiwanese rock music performance industry has gradually made space more important to rock music. Combined with the idea of musical scene, this study takes three Taiwanese rock music scenes as research targets, which are: live house and performance space, social movements, and government sponsored music festivals. Through these cases, this study is to reveal how employers form recognition of justice in rock music through resistance discourse to accumulate capital and empower their influence to independent music industry field. The employees, restricted by circumstances of recent Taiwanese musical industry, have encountered affective labor and declining labor rights, while the resistance discourse could not improve current circumstances.
