| dc.description.abstract | Taiwan is a multi-society, especially in urban areas, where is much more multi-ethnic and multi-cultural. However, in such a multi-cultural society, to extend the culture of the ethnic group itself is not an easy task, especially in the urban areas where is already full of ethnicity. Because of the Taipei area urbanization, make the area has sufficient conditions for economic development, at the same time , attract country immigrants into urban area. There had being a large number of people move to urban areas, the Hakka community is one of them. Many Hakka people originally living in Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Miaoli and Taichung, Kaohsiung and Hualien, have gradually moved Taipei.
When Hakka immigrants into the city, how did they adapt to this new environment and be with the local crowd? How to keep the cultural characters of Hakka practicing in the everyday life?? In the past, someone will strategically choose to hide these cultural characters as an “invisible group”, in order to adapt to urban environment. For the urban Hakka, how do they treat their ethnic identity, as well as cultural characters and ethnic memory? Especially, the whole environment had changed in recent years; there should be a different significance for the urban Hakka.
This thesis found that ethnic group being invisible, perhaps it is just to cope with the social environment over the past generated by the process of adaptation, and as soon as these disadvantageous factors for Hakka culture development are removed, there is no need to keep invisible. Through the observation, I found that Hakka culture is still preserved in the private filed. So even the newest Hakka is not so familiar with objective side of culture, but they’d never forget that they are Hakka. | en_US |
