以Norbert Elias形態社會學探究官方地方刊物之社會關係－以屏東原鄉地區三本鄉刊為例

Abstract

本研究以屏東原鄉地區的官方地方刊物為研究對象，透過Norbert Elias《莫札特：探求天才的奧秘》中形態社會學的理論觀點，並參考Wendy Griswold文化菱形架構，將形態分為官方地方刊物（文化物件）、編輯製作者（創造者）、讀者（接收者）與社會（社會）四個端點，探討形態間群體與群體相互依賴與衝突關係。在Elias的觀點中，天才之所以為天才，是被擺在一個有良好的發展條件之形態當中所產生，藉由合適的材料形式表達藝術家內在的創造力，但創造力並非無限自由，而是需要考量到權力、經濟、政治、情感等各面向的鏈帶，以符合社會的標準規範，否則曲高和寡喚不起市場的認同與共鳴。相同地，地方刊物為近幾年經常作為呈現地方議題的媒介，其中官方地方刊物中又包含官方與民間的編輯製作者，兩個群體無論是面對彼此，又或是處在更複雜的形態當中，勢必需要瞻前顧後地考量社會與他人的觀感；因此，在適合地方刊物發展的社會結構下，透過編輯製作者的經歷與感受，表現出形態當中各群體間的互賴關係，同時展現官方地方刊物的藝術性與公共性。The study takes the official local press of indigenous areas in Pingtung as its research subject. Utilizing the sociological perspectives of Norbert Elias from Mozart: Zur Soziologie eines Genies and referencing Wendy Griswold's cultural diamond framework, it categorizes the elements into four endpoints: official local press (cultural objects), editors (producers), readers (receivers), and the society (society). The study explores the interdependent and conflicting relationships between these groups within the figurational framework. According to Elias, genius emerges within a figuration that offers favorable developmental conditions. Artistic creativity is expressed through appropriate material forms but is not boundlessly free. Instead, it must consider the constraints of power, economics, politics, emotions, and other factors to align with societal norms and standards. Without such alignment, even the highest-quality works may fail to resonate with the market and gain recognition.Similarly, local press has increasingly served as a medium for presenting local issues in recent years. Among these, official local press often involves both official and non-governmental editors. When interacting with one another or navigating more complex configurations, these groups must carefully weigh societal expectations and public perceptions.Thus, the society benefits to the development of local press, the experiences and sentiments of official and non-governmental editors express the interdependent relationships among groups within the figuration , while simultaneously showcasing the artistry and publicity of official local press.
