台北地區街頭藝人之研究

Abstract

街頭藝人在台灣地區目前正處於剛起步的階段，許多法規的訂定與推動，在實際的執行上也仍存有許多問題。本論文試著從過去中國雜記的發展到西方中世紀的黑暗時代著手，尋找有關街頭藝人過去發展的蛛絲馬跡，找出街頭藝人存在的功能與意義，並作為了解街頭藝人的基礎。 本文針對20世紀之後的街頭藝人蓬勃發展，依照當時的文化、經濟等各項背景歸納街頭藝人蓬勃發展的原因。論述內容從大環境的觀察在縮小到台灣地區的街頭藝人發展，從街頭藝人相關管理制度原先既有的申請制及審核制著手進行研究，透過25個縣市政府主管單位的聯繫及街頭藝人協會的拜訪、街頭藝人的訪問等各方面了解，加以不定時前往個案地點實際觀察，提出所觀察的問題及其解決方法，希望為將來街頭藝人的研究能留下值得參考的資料。Currently in Taiwan, the street artists are only at the start up stage.
